Where is the fade in docs

Question

Where is the documentation for fading in and fading out
several pictures?
How do you expect a beginner to learn anything with this
flash and no howto's to do something simple?

Answer 1

F1 (help) and type in Motion Tween or Animation in search
field - you need to learn how to convert
things to symbols and create keyframes and then apply a
motion tween with 0% alpha.
it is very easy and basic once you know how.
1. import image to stage - select it and hit F8 (convert to
symbol) - select "graphic or Movie clip
for type of symbol.
2. Further down the timeline click on a frame and hit F6
(create keyframe).
3. go back to frame 1 and click once on the symbol (your
bitmap on stage).
4. in the Properties Panel adjust the alpha to 0% using the
slider.
5. Select any frame in between these 2 keyframes and in
Properties panel select Motion Tween from
the Tween drop down.
This is just 1 way of doing this - in flash, there are always
several ways of doing this depending
on your needs - you can use action script to control this
effect dynamically as well. Google around
for tutorials - www.kirupa.com has a lot of good ones.
www.gotoandlearn.com is another great
resource. This forum is a great resource - it is how i
learned early on and continue to learn. Flash
takes time - it is not for the consumer-level dabbler when it
comes to graphics and animations. it
has become more or less a development platform.
Hang in there - someday it will *click*.
