    Line Fades

    Hi all,

    Is there a way I can make a line goto from a colour and fade until it is totaly transparent, I managed to get it right with shapes but no luck with lines

    Any help would be great

    try making the line its own movie clip then put it on its own layer and tween it. go to properties and turn alpha down all the way at the last fream it should work.

    I think I worded my question wrong... I want a static line that looks (graphically) like it goes from one colour to the transparent, gradually getting less opaque untill it is gone completly. I dont want/kneed an animation.

    make a rectangle, but make it really thin without borders. Then do your usual gradient fills with that.

    You need to open your mind

    (i think thats what you need to do....)
