The last keyframe in the motion tween moves to frame 40, so the motion of the
cityscape proceeds quicker.
Animating transparency
In the previous lesson, you learned how to change the color effect of any symbol
instance to change the transparency, tint, or brightness. You can change the color
effect of an instance in one keyframe and change the value of the color effect in
another keyframe, and Flash will automatically display a smooth change, just as it
does with changes in position.
You’ll change the cityscape in the beginning keyframe to be totally transparent
but keep the cityscape in the ending keyframe opaque. Flash will create a smooth
fade-in effect.
1 Move the red playhead to the first keyframe of the motion tween (frame 10).
2 Select the cityscape instance on the Stage.
3 In the Properties inspector, choose the Alpha option for Color Effect.
