Masking, can we get alpha below 100?

[ScreaminJesus]

Hi,

Ive noticed when working on masks, that even though u set a mask alpha to below 100%, it still shows through at 100%

Is there any way to mask an object with varying alpha?

Im workign on an effect, wanna make it like the star wars one, but I need to make the edge of the exposed picture faded out as it rotates.

U'll know wat I mean when u look at the swf.
It looks too harsh at the moment, if I could fade it in I bet it would look topps!

See the pic on the right, it shows the picture slightly exposed, but the edge is faded in. Thats wat I want to do to the mask, so that the edge is smoother, not such a sharp contrast between orginal pic and new pic.

Wow, that will be a very cool effect when it is pulled off.

I am not sure, but I'll help you find the answer.

Maybe one of the many wiser members could help you out...

Yeah, I was watching "Attack of the clones" and I thought, "man, thats a cool affect, I wonder if I could duplicate that in Flash"

So, Ill keep dabbling, and keep u posted
