4 In the dialog box that appears asking for confirmation to convert the selection

Flash creates a Tween layer and adds one second worth of frames to the movie
clip Timeline.
5 Drag the end of the tween span back so the Timeline only has 10 frames.
6 Move the playhead to frame 1 and select the instance on the Stage.
7 In the Properties inspector, select Alpha from the Style pull-down menu in the
Color Effect section and set the Alpha slider to 0%.
The instance on the Stage becomes totally transparent.
8 Move the playhead to the end of the tween span at frame 10.
9 Select the transparent instance on the Stage.
10 In the Properties inspector, set the Alpha slider to 100%.
Flash creates a smooth transition between the transparent and opaque instance
in the 10 frame tween span.
11 Insert a new layer and rename it actions.
12 Insert a new keyframe in the last frame (frame 10) of the actions layer.
13 Open the Actions panel (Window > Actions) and enter stop(); in the Script pane.
Adding the stop action in the last frame ensures that the fade-in effect plays
only once.
