Hi Jaysin, that's correct you can't use a drop shadow on text and tween it so you need to "cheat".

1: Create your button text
2: Copy to Clipboard
3: Select the Text
4: Apply a shadow
5: Arrange / Convert to Editable shapes
6: Ungroup
7: Deselect All
8: Select the text and delete
9: Select the remaining shadow and Name it
10: Ctrl+Shift+V to paste a copy of the text in the exact position as before
11: Select the text and name it.

Duplicate that Frame

Go to original frame, select both the Text & Shadow and scale down as required.

Export swf

You get an error message:

The following cannot be exported:
Frame 2: Single tile bitmap transparency.

but it can be ignored, it works.
