Re: FLASH: Fading effect

[Chris Kemp-Salt]

Hi Jonny,


Unless I am missing something in your description, you should be able to:


open your colour pallet, and create a new "blend" from the background colour to a new colour that you create with an alpha of 0.


you should now be able to create a box with this linier blend,


It might be worth mentioning that I have found that you sometimes get wierd effects with alphas and bitmaps in 16 bit colour so you may want to test for this?


hope this helps 


Chris.

Is it possible to create a box where the alpha fades smothly from one side 

of the box to the other.  ie. one side of the box is black, the other side 

you can see through


The idea is to have a box over an image, so it looks like the image is 

fading away slowly(the box will be the same color as the background)


i cant just make the image fade out cause what i want to fade isnt a static 

thing, i just want things to slide into nothingness


thanks, Jonny
