Just wondering how you fade the text out. I couldn't figure it out for myself. I did only spend 5 minutes trying though...
 
Keyframe Keyframe
Effect: Alpha 100% >----MOTION TWEEN----> Alpha 0%

Took me 5 secs. to type it out though!

;-)
 
Ok, I hope I can help out. This might be long so you might want to cut and paste or whatever.

First!

1.Type your text and convert it into a graphic.

(Click on the text then click insert>convert to symbol>click on "graphic" and name it)

2.Create a movie clip for the "fade in text"

(click on insert>convert to symbol>click on "movie clip" and name it)

3. Drag the text to the center of the screen THEN at whatever frame of your choice(frame #10 for example)insert a "keyframe" THEN click on "keyframe#1" and go to insert>create motion tween. If the first keyframe isn't selected then do so, then click modify>instance>click on color effect tab>select alpha and put it to zero.

Wait one thing..at keyframe 10, add a stop action by double clicking on keyframe10 > select the actions tab > click the plus sign and select STOP. This will stop the movie from repeating it self.

Hope I was of some help.

Peace

 
Okay, I'm assuming it's much the same with fading out graphics then. I can probably figure that out myself.
