PLEASE help-Fading images in & out

I know this is really simple…but I completely forget how to do this & when I tried playing around w/ it, it didn’t work. I need to figure out how to make images fade in & then fade out in flash mx…any help would be appriciated! thanks so much!
Love Always,

Howdy…

Import the graphic image into the Flash…
Click on that image and press F8 to create a movieclip with it…
Change the _alpha property of that movieclip over the time…
(Or create a tween over the time if it is easier…)

For more information, open up the Using Flash and follow this path…
Using Symbols, Instances, and Library Assets > Changing instance properties > Changing the color and transparency of an instance

Good luck…

Thanks for replying!! I have no idea what I’m doing wrong…but I get the image to just go from 0%-100%, but not fading. I pasted the image in, converted it to a movie clip, clicked on the image & changed it to alpha>0%…then I created a new keyframe at like 30, clicked the image again & made it 100%. Do I need to use a motion tween somewhere? I did this before & I had to do that…I dunno, I’m lost! LOL…anybody?
Love Always,

select the all frames associated with the fade and slap on a motion tween… that should do it
