Cinema-styled presentation?

[FoxCoon]

I need text to fade in/out for a nice movie-styled credit sequence.

And with Flash being a newfound treasure yet to be plundered to it's fullest, I need help.

Any and all techniques that apply to creating opening and ending sequences would be greatly, GREATLY appreciated. Cheers!

I'm with you. I love making cinema-style credits. If you're looking to simply fade each credit in and out, its relatively simple...

-Put your text in a separate layer.
-Highlight the text or just select the fram, then go to insert>create motion tween.
-If you know how to use a tween, this should be easy. Drag the last keyframe of the tween for about as long as you want the text to come up.
-After setting the length of the tween, go about 5-10 frames over from the first frame and convert it to a key frame.
-Now go back to the first frame and click it. Then click on your text. If you have the properties bar open, there should be an option called "color" with a little dropdown menu next to it. Click the dropdown menu and select alpha. Set the alpha to 0%. Now by the next key frame, it should fade up.

-To have it fade out, just do pretty much the opposite...
-Go to about 5-10 frames before the tween ends and create another keyframe. Keep that one as it is.
-Now go to the last frame and set that alpha to 0%.

If I explained this well enough, you should have a fade in and out. If you need further help, let me know.
