I must be missing something. Performing alpha tweens on button components is
only hiding the graphic assets , not the text label. Is this happening to
everyone? Is there a sensible work around other than making a custom button
component?

Thanks in advance.

Somewhere in the docs it says you can't tween text without embedding the font
in the SWF. This is not practical for a multilanguage site that ships in 58
languages all over the world. I just gave up on trying to tween text.
