FLASH: heart attack!

[Tony Indelicato]

Hello flash gurus,


I am attempting to animate a Cardiogram ....

Originally I was going to animate one dot and copy and paste the animation

offsetting it on the time line 

and turning the Alpha down in consecutive steps...making like fifteen

million layers until the alpha reached zero..


I got into it a little bit and said to myself...there has got to be an

easier way..


'Doh'



I'm sure there is an action that I can use to create 'trails' and then just

turn the alpha down in steps..

So that the 'EKG' blip fades out  .....


I really wish I had a good resource like the Flash Bible...but all I have is

the "Using Flash" book that came with the software and this is no help at

all when it comes to developing and writing action scripts.....


If anyone can steer me in the right direction or even give me an idea where

to start..

I would greatly appreciate....



Deadline is flying above me ...circling....




Thank you


Regards


Tony
