Re: FLASH: Transparent masking

[IanMarkJ]

Ahhhh,


Nice one. Can you make a gradient transparent? I don't mean setting the

instance's alpha value as a whole but a gradient going from White to

transparent (like Photoshop)?


If not, then they've done some pretty clever Black to white gradients fading

out at just the right time to give the impression they're transparent. I was

originally looking at the object inside the mask as one object and wondering

how it was fading in certain areas - didn't even occur to me it might be

multiple objects. Doh!


Thanks for the help :)
