    Default textfield._alpha isn't working in flash mx

    textfield._alpha isn't working in flash mx. I tried to put the text field into
    a movie clip and change the alpha value of it, but that doesn't work either. it
    only seems to work with the shapes in the MC, not the text. any ideas on how to
    get around this without tweening?

    Actually textfield._alpha has never worked. _alpha is a property of the
    movieclip class, not of the textfield class. So; put that textfield in a
    movieclip and off you go.
