flash actionscript: I have a dynamic text field that sits over an imported .flv Whilst the .flv is
playing, I want text (that is imported into the text field from XML) to fade.

The text gets into the text field with no problems, and I can give it a
unchanging alpha level, but I cannot fade from 0 to 100 - it just doesn't
display the text at all. Does anyone know of a way to do this through
actionscript or something else that might work?

Not sure I really explained this very well!

Essentially I want to fade text from transparent to opaque and back - the text area is populated from some imported XML. Is this possible?

Yes. Fade the clip that the text is loaded into, rather than the text
clip itself (and if it's not loaded into a clip... make it load into a
clip :)). Also, this may not work if your clip is masked... there are
work around tho.
