Swf not rendering fading type correctly

Question

Dissolving (fading) type works in timeline......but not when
I control>test movie or publish as swf! I've just upgraded to
Flash Professional 8, and am doing some simple animation of type (
a line of type fades [using motion tween, color>alpha=0] as
another line fades up on top of it). I've done this a million times
in MX, but when I test or publish, the type just piles up on top of
the previous layer - no fading of alpha! Any suggestions very
welcome!

Make sure the text field is set to "static", and avoid using
one of the
device fonts, or if the text field needs to be dynamic, elect
to "embed" the
character outlines in the swf.
