The refreshing clarity and reliability of ActionScript...a welcome break
from wrestling with CSS!
One way is to build a movie clip (e.g.myMC) to contain the text box
(myTB) and simply control the _alpha property (and any other property)
of the movieclip using ActionScript.
For example, using an anonymous function:
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
with(myMC) {
_alpha -= 1;
x -= 10;
myTB.text = myArray[etc];
}
}
You may want to use setInterval, a named function (which can be re-used
per OOP and different eventhandlers/listener objects) but this may get
you started.
In addition, check out www.wildform.com animation effects for Flash.
Enjoy!

Subject: [ cf-dev ] OT: ActionScript
I have a bunch of text in an array. I am cycling over that array and
making
the text come out and also move.
The thing I now want is to be able to fade it in and out. The problem
is
that I cannot figure out how (in actionscript) to do this.
The text will change regularly, so saying something like "make a graphic
of
the text" isn't going to help.
Any ideas? I'm just banging my head against a brick wall!
