Flash Tutorial: How to make text fade in and out

Paladin needed some help with this... so here it is.

1. Type the text you want

2. Right click the text - Convert to symbol

3. Select "graphic" and name it

4. Insert Keyframes in frames 15, 30, and 45.
Between 0-15, the text will be fading in
Between 15-30, the text will be fully colored
Between 30-45, the text will be fading out

5. CLICK FRAME ONE
6. Left click the text, and locate the "properties" bar. (usually on the bottom)
7. Under "color", select Alpha, and change the percent to 0

8. Right click anywhere between frame 0 and 15, and select create motion tween

9. CLICK FRAME 45
10. Left click the text, and change the color to alpha again. (0% again)
11. Right click anywhere between from 30-45, and select create motion tween

Done and done

Good point I'll un-accounce it

It was just annoying me, its ok keeping it there for a while, but tbh I think tutorials should be for the tutorials section. Nice tutorial though.
