I’m making a scene where all my layers have to fade to black. After they’re faded, a red screen quickly fades in and fades out to black again. I’m not sure how this can be accomplished, because when I use timeline effects, the screen fades to white. Does anyone know if this can be accomplished with actionscript? Or any solution will helpfull. Thanks in advance.
