On macromedia’s site, the form elements have this really cool fade in effect. [http://www.macromedia.com](http://www.macromedia.com) at the top the search form element. My attempts at this effect look very cheesy…Does anyone know how this effect was achieved? a tut or a fla will be very nice. ---

I think they have that text field in another mc with that fade in effect. Try that! ---

If you are using MX, there is a component for this… [http://www.flashcomponents.net/component.cfm?nav=2&id=124](http://www.flashcomponents.net/component.cfm?nav=2&id=124) You can get it there. ---

You can do that using layer masks. I have done something similar but have that file at home. Can post it once I am back home! ---

Oh!!!..I never really go there because it says for help or somethinglike that. I did not know you could use that area for a “hey check me out and look what i have done” section. I will go there more often. Too get opinion b4 I drop something. Thanks…Oh I will post that file in a while here Hey Beta you have the coolest footer ---

Yeah, the D&D section is for both asking for help and showing off your “mad skillz”. The section is great 🙂 Not too many people post in there though :-\ Thanks for the compliment on my footer :beam:
