there should be a fairly neat & clean way to duplicate movie clips and alpha fade them, etc…

all depends on how intense your movie is I guess as well.

Just don’t ask me how to do it…

:-\ yup

Its not too terribly hard to do though, to an extent… For simple graphic animations, you simply layer a bunch of copies on top one another and have each start on an offsetted frame. Then have those on frames ahead and frames behind just have more transparency using the color effects.

I was thinking that there might be a way to do this thru AS?

might be a kinda cool effect for a flaming logo…

AS would do it too, but it can get complex there as well. And in any situation, a hit in performance.

The basic answer is, no, there is no [easy] way of doing it.
