[Flash 8]Creating Batch Effects On Text...
Hopefully this is posted in the correct forum, it sounds like my question would pertain to actionscript, if not feel free to move it to an appropriate forum.

Im making a flash sing along video for my church. The format of it is really simple, black background and huge Arial white text displaying the text. I understand how to apply fade in/out effects on my text but the problem is this music video is about 30 min long, so applying a fade in/out to every frame manually is a very tedious a boring task. Is there anyway to somehow apply a 5 frame fade in/out animation on every set of text at once or somehow make the process faster?
Thanks,
Jared

Problems With Dinamic Text
I'm having trouble with some dinamic text that I am reading from a php file.

this is the deal:

I need to read information from a database and I'm using php to retrieve the info. I was able to get the info into flash but for some strange reason, when I output the info to the text box I need it, flash eats some of the charactes like "A", "v", and some other characters. I have no clue why this is happening.

If anyone could help I would really apreciate it. thanks.

Something Wrong With Dinamic Text
There's something wrong with dinamic text in MX.

i'm using Loadvariables to load a text from a txt file but the text appears without the punctuation.
This only happens in flash MX, i did exactly the same thing in flash 5 and it loads the text correctly.
In fact i could do the work in flash 5 but MX do a better publish.

this is a flash MX bug or i missing something.

Dinamic Text Fade
Hi everyone,
Ok I have a problem with a fade over a dinamic text box. I have 2 MC's the MC1 has a button "Btn"with this function

Code:
btn.onRelease=function(){
if(_parent.uno._alpha==0){
_parent.mc2.a0=100;

}else if(_parent.uno._alpha<200){
_parent.mc2.a0=0;

}
}
everything works fine the mc2 does the fade, but the dinamic text box doesn't. It seems that the script works with everything inside of the mc2 but not with the dinamic text box,
Any ideas about what's going on?

Dinamic Text And CSS With LoadMovies
Here is the problem:
I have a very complicated presentation which loads movies inside movies, inside movies.
All text is loaded from variables outside flash with CSS. It all works in the single movies when they are exported, but these movies are all loaded into another movie which is loaded in the root movie. And when I export the main root movie and they are loaded the text doesn't show. It is not a problem of target path cause I tried deleting all variables and just write directly in the text field and the text still does not appear.
Has anyone had this bug? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

How To Format Text Within Dinamic Text Field?
Hi!

A couple of days ago, I was crying for help about how to put a link to URL, dinamically from a external text.

I had two pretty answers that figured out my issue. That was good!

Now, I am stepping forward, and trying something else that seems do not work. Or I am very wrong, or the "renderize text as HTML" option is not so much eficcient, because seems to me that it dont recognizes the most of the simplest HTML tags. For instances, I tried the <B></B> tag and the only thing I got was to vanish anything I put between the two tags!

Well, that's my question: how to format text (bold, italic, font color, font face, etc) from a external text????

Thanks!

I have a dinamic text field with a value of 20,
I'm trying to subtract 1 from the value every passing second.

Button With A Dinamic Text Inside?
Hello,

I would like to create a button with a dinamic text inside, just to have a generic button object, with text effect on mouse over and out, that I can have different instances with different text.

Thanks!
