In the best of Kirupa forum you can find several techniques to fade with Actionscript.  
Other than that, this little tutorial should show you the basis : [www.kirupa.com/developer/textfx.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/textfx.asp)

To make an “A” turn into or shape into an “E” is called morphing. To do this you do not turn these into graphics.

frame 1:  
create the A and break it apart…"modify\>break apart

frame 5: (on same layer)  
insert a keyframe and type “E” next to the “A”… So on frame 5 you should have A and E but on frame 1 you should only have A…

On frame 5:  
delete the A so now there’s only the E, break the E apart…

So now it should be,  
frame1=A and frame5=E

Double click on the layer between these 2 frames and a dialogue should pop up. Go to “shape” and that should do the trick…

Does tha answer your question?

Well, if you want it to \*\* fade\*\*, you’ll have to use motion tweens at some point, Jak. I would tween the A out in one layer, and tween the E in in another layer.
