FLASH: gradients for text fade-outs

[Erik Kittlaus]

I'm attempting to use a linear gradient on a symbol to achieve the text

fade-out effect on  scrolling text -- from background color to 0%

transparency of the same color. (Hope that's clear enough).


My problem is this: I can see the entire rectangle when its exported. It

has a filmy look to it. In other words its not fully transparent. What

gives?


I'm using the right colors. That's not the issue. Has anyone else run

into this sort of thing before? I'm thinking maybe this effect works

with certain colors and not others.
