SV: FLASH: alpha doesnt work on a symbol

[Glenn Folkvord]

James,


Thanks alot for your cookbook-recepie on how to work around the fade problem. In the mean time I found another workaround including lots of breaking apart, removing outlines, exporting to swf and whatnot, and I honestly dont know what I did so I probably need your advise later.


The original logo was created in CorelDraw, then exported as a AI. Is the learning curve for Freehand steep if I know my ways around CD8?


kind regards,

glenn
