Hi guys… hope i can explain this well enough so you know what I’m trying to do. I want to make a “sweeping color fade”. In other words, I want to take a b&w image, and have the color fade in and out from, let’s say, left to right, over a period of time. I figure I’ll need some kind of actionscript to do this effect, being that if i use a b&w and color version of the image, I would have to use some alpha fades in which case the edges of the trandparent color image would be seen as it moves across the b&w image… thus ruining the effect. If anyone coud help i would greatly apprecaite it!
