Hi,

I’m on a Mac and a Flash MX 2004 user. I attempted to do Kirupa’s very basic animation tweening tutorial to get myself going with Flash 8, but I cannot get it to work.

The motion works fine, but when I introduced the alpha part, it started behaving erratically. It just won’t fade IN.

I am familiar and comfortable with animation tweens involving motion and fades in MX 2004…

I tried just doing a fade in for a single letter, not even inside a movie clip (as the tutorial has you do), and didn’t use motion – just a fade in: Can’t even get that to work.

Any ideas? Some silly thing I overlooked??

Thanks!
