possible to use a gradient mask?

[mrand01]

I want to mask some text, but when it comes into the mask, I want it to fade in (like a gradient, or a alpha blend). Is this possible?

Don't forget this site's super handy search function.

Maybe this thread (http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=22910&highlight=gradient+mask) will help explain some things.
