Playing with Opcaity

Hey guys, I was wondering how do you make a menu slider with menu sliding in and out to edges that had low opcaity giving it a fading affect as it moved off the screen? Bascially like if you see the inifinite menu slider in the tutorial section. I tried to play with the edges by using gradient fill and opaciaty changes to a certiain color in the gradeint so that the menu seem to fade in and out on the edges dependant on the way you moved the mouse curser or kind of blurry at the edges in basic terms. I was wondering how would it do that. Does someone have a sample of something I can look at?
