How can you fade an image in form left to right? I’ve seen it done on a few sites and I can’t figure it out. If anyone knows can you please post it here.  
thanks

you can either motion tween a mask (which both eat up processors) -or- you can motion tween a shape (like a rectangle) that has a custom gradient.  
One side of the gradient is a solid color the same as your background and the other side is a custom color with a 0% alpha.
