Alpha Tweening?

[barret]

Is there any way of tweening alpha's? Or must that all be done by hand, frame by frame? :confused:

You can use Actionscript to create an alpha tween by changing the _alpha property of the targetting movieclip...

just tween the alpha the same way you would motion tween a symbol.

very easy...
make it a movie clip or image...
do the first few steps of a motion tween... (create the number of frames by "f6'ing" it into the last frame to tween to...
in the last (or first) frame... open the properties box...
select alpha=whatever you wish...
and create a motion tween.

yeah, you can use a motion tween, but you need to adjust the alpha of the object at the beginning or end of the tween...

[barret]

Is it also possible to have it tweening while you shape tween that same object?

[CyanBlue]

I think you can make a movieclip that includes all your shape tweens and have _alpha change over the time to achieve the effect...

[Billy T]

yeah you can do it with just shape tweening...just turn down the alpha for the colours in mixer panel
