I need an actionscript that brings up a coloured circle on a stage and then fades it out again using alpha.

i know its easily done using tweening but surely there has to be a simple piece of actionscript that can control this.

any ideas…?

DuplicateMovieClip() should bring up a circle, or you can use the drawing API. To make it fade, you just need a loop. Set it reduce the \_alpha property of the circle clip until it’s down to 0%. 🙂
