Alpha does not work on text (flash, as3)?

From an AS3 point of view , you will not be able to apply transparency to a TextField unless its embedFonts property is set to true. I would suggest that the problem is with the loaded SWF but you don't provide any code for it...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
