make a white square \> hit F8 \> make MC symbol place MC on the stage in frame one \> set alpha to 0% place the same MC on frame 5 \> set alpha to 100% place the same MC on frame 10 \> set alpha to 60% now tween them all \> select frames \> right click on frames \> make tween if you test \> Ctrl+Enter \> the mc will light up very fast and then soften down to 60% alpha Hope this is what you meant. keep in mind you need a framerate of approx. 31 for good effects. good luck… ---
