Opps,
I missed your first sentence.
var fadeEffect:TweenEffect = getStyle("fadeEffect");
// you might have to cast it if it is not a Fade instance or do an is check.
But, getStyle() is what you want.

Hi,
Really all mxml are actionscript classes.
So in your extended component;
- create
private var tween:Fade;
In createChildren() or something like it;
tween = new Fade(this);
tween.alphaTo = getStyle("fadeAlphaTo");
tween.alphaFrom = getStyle("fadeAlphaFrom");
// any other defaults or initializations
Then in a handler or method, trigger it.
private function fadeTrigger():void
{
tween.play();
}
Remember, you can also add update and end handlers to the tween instance.
You could reset this instance, play it in reverse(). Just check out the
ASDoc's on Fade.
Peace, Mike
