Flash Oddities... Part One

Here's an odd bug I've found the other day with Flash CS3. If you create a dynamic text field and forget to embed the font, if you try alpha blending its parent object programattically, you'll find that the whole object alpha fades apart from the text object!

Took me a few moments to realise what was going on! So if anyone else has this problem, check your font/character embedding options. Bit of a strange rendering behaviour that one!
