2 questions about animation

[Happygrounder]

1. How do I make my an image slowly zoom in or out in flash? If you don't know what I mean, here is an example.

2. How do I make something fade in or out, in flash? Like an image, fading out or fading in.

1. Either set it as a symbol and tween it or use a Vcam

2. Shape tween a box from black to a box with an alpha of 0

Grab the symbol and expand it, create a tween from there. You could also use Vcam

If I remember correctly, if the item you want to fade is already a symbol, click on it and change the color to "alpha" (properties panel) then set the opacity to 0%
on the next keyframe set the opacity back to 100% and create a tween connecting the two. The item should fade in. To fade out just do the opposite, start with 100% opacity and fade it to 0%

You just repeated everything blounty just said...

if you want everything on the stage to fade in/out you can also use the vCam in AS3 and do the same thing as blounty said. I think...

Well jeez the guy needs a more in depth explanation!

1.Basically, create a symbol, create another key frame with the same symbol. Hold SHIFT (so that this creates an even scaling) and grab one of the corners of the box (created by selecting the Free Transform Tool and then the symbol). Then drag the corner to either enlarge or shrink the symbol's size, Afterwards go to the first keyframe and create a motion tween. The amount of frames in between the two keyframes you have converted will then determine how quickly the symbol will grow or shrink in size.

2.Same idea in regards to creating a second keyframe. Basically if you want the symbol to fade out, you must change the alpha setting of the symbol in the second keyframe to 0. If you want fading in, just change the alpha of the symbol in the first frame to 0 instead. Then of course create a motion tween on the first keyframe. Just be sure to insert frames in between the two keyframes to determine the length of the fading.

Hope that helps. I know this is basically a reiteration of what others have said but I think that should be a little more in-depth.
