Image Alpha Fade

I know this is a simple question... I just make a tween between to images and then change the alpha right? are there any good tutorial on this?

You can use tweening, but actionscripting is a good method as well. This .fla demonstrates a gradual fade-in through the use of actionscripting.

aww man... won't let me open cuz i got mx 2k4

I'm still using Flash MX. I hated when Macromedia got rid of normal mode via the actions panel in Flash MX 2004. Did you unzip the file using Winzip before you opened it in Flash?

yes, i did

You can paste the code below into a keyframe. Then drag a movie clip onto the stage and give it an instance name of "clip" which will make a nice fade-in effect.


MovieClip.prototype.Increment = function(maxAlpha, speed) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha += speed;
if (this._alpha>=maxAlpha) {
this._alpha = maxAlpha;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
with (clip) {
_alpha = 0;
Increment(100, 2);
}

sweet thx

My pleasure.

can i do this w/o actionscript?

You can use a motion tween. I prefer a motion tween especially when making intros. Have a look at this .fla
