Hi guys,

Adobe has some cool animation techniques, at any of their products webpage

For example:  
[http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/main.html](http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/main.html)

see how the leaves smoothly appear? How can I accomplish that? When seeing that (before buying studio 8) I concluded that Flash 8 supports now alpha masking, but I was wrong. How do they do it?
