How do you make text transparent in flash?

[glw6160]

I have my basic movie elements set up and have created my motions for each element, but I need to make my text start out transparent and then become solid as it reaches the end of its path. Is this possible?

select your text.....insert/convert to symbol then use the effects panel to set your alpha. 0 being transparent and 100% being solid Ya' Gotta Love It!

after converting all your text to symbols....just like you did the motion...put your text on a separate layer...(only 1 symbol per layer)

on the first frame make it 0% alpha and then make it 100% alpha on the last frame or wherever you want it to become fully solid. Ya' Gotta Love It!

Hi,

Select the first keyframe of your tween, and select the Effect tab in the Instance panel. Select alpha and bring it down to 0%. Your text will start off at 0% transparency and go up to 100% (default) at the end of your tween.
