It sounds like your Alpha tween for the text MC is broken, and

that the only thing that is registering is where the tween starts

and where it ends, nothing in the middle. Maybe try checking your

layers and see if there are no other extraneous symbols interfering

with the tween at the start and the end of it, and then troubleshoot

it by seeing if you can get the text MC working by itself first.


A motion tween won't work if there is more than one symbol at the

start and/or end of the tween.
