Text and Color Tweens

When creating an color tween on a text, which has been converted to a movie clip symbol, when I try and animate it within the symbol itself (as opposed to the instance), the tween never seems to work. However, if I try and animate the color within the instance (as opposed to the symbol) it seems to work fine. Why is this, and is there a way to ocrrect it? There are some movies that I want to have the text stop, but other animations continue.

Hello and welcome to TalkGraphics.

Check THIS link, see if that's what you mean.
THIS is also a good one.

I've also compiled a resource of tutorials in HERE so take a look.
Hope that answers you question.

Thank you. I will take a look at these in a bit.
