Actually, an easier method than distorting and tweening each line would be to
make a Movie Symbol of all the text scrolling from bottom to top. Now that that
text (MC) is in the Library drag it onto your stage and now distort it into
perspective ... saving hassle and hairpulling of trying to tween the
perspective.

The black to transparent is a good idea .... *but* (now this is just a different
way not a better way) if you want the stars to still appear where the black is
either have the stars over the black or simply instead, put a gradient mask over
the text thus scrolling from clear to faded.
