This is probably a simple problem, but since I've spent a whole day on it then it's time to ask...

Im trying to create a flash animation which fades five different pieces of text one after the other. I want the first line to appear, then fade to reveal the second line, which fades to reveal the third and so on, in the same space and then it will repeat- so the text appears where the previous line was.

I've watched loads of tutorials of how graphics can easily be tweened with transparency. But is this even possible with text? or am I trying to do something which Xara Web Designer 6 simply isn't capable of?

If it's not directly possible with text then is there a way around it? say importing the text along with its background as a bitmap from photoshop and layering the five together (as if they were photos) to have the smooth transitioning? (and still how do I apply the fade effect or is it automatic?)

Also I've been getting errors about unpaired objects.

I can get the animation to snap from one piece of text to the next, but not to transition smoothly.
