Its much easier to just use the motion tween that imageready provides, it does the exact same thing just alot less work.

As OrionLeingod sais: Make a black image with the rose layer on. Create a new frame in the animation pallete and hide the rose layer. Press "Tween..." press enter and its done =)

But it's a good tutorial for animation other things, this tutorial shows a techniqe, not how to make a fading rose.
