Hey guys,

I’m working on a flash site where the background of the movie is transparent. I want to do a fading scroll menu of thumbnails going horizontally. I did a fading scroll similar to this before however it was a black background and it was basically a gradient with 0% alpha to black, that is not working this time.

Any tips?  
Thanks a lot.
