How do you make a picture fade from B&W into color?
 
I think you can turn the image into a graphic file in flash, then remove all the colors on the first frame. Then you need to create a tween and then change the color sliders back to their original setting. Rninja

You might need to distribute each diffrent section of colour to a seperate layer, because I don't think flash can do multiple colours on the same layer. This is easyly done in Flash MX but you'll have to do it manually in Flash 5.
 
If you have Photoshop or equivelent do this:

1) Duplicate your photo and change the image mode on one of your images to Grayscale leaving the other full colour. Now import both your photos into flash, each on it's own layer in keyframe 1.

2) Convert the photo's to graphic symbols.

3) Add keyframes to frame 20 on both layers. On the colour photos layer, frame 1, set the Alpha to "0". On the B/W photo's layer, frame 20, change this to Alpha "0".

4) Now right click on frame 1 (or somewhewre between the first and 20th frame) of both layers and insert motions tweens.

4) Test movie.

You will probably need to tweek it so you get the fx you want. The amount of frames you need will depend on how fast you want the change to happen but the above instuctions will get you the basic fx you want.
