i want to fade in and out like the flash on the top of this page.

how do you do this?

[http://www.authenticstyle.co.uk/#work](http://www.authenticstyle.co.uk/#work)

do i just make the background colour of my flash file to black before doing the alpha fades?

also, if i want to do other types of fade ins other than using alpha, is there any tutorials out there?
