Creating the Fade Graphic
Step 45.
This is the 6th part of this flash tutorial, where we'll be creating the graphic for the fade transition. First of all we need to create a new layer called "fade". On the new layer, make a rectangle large enough to cover the content area. It also needs to be the same color (#181D1F) as the background.
 
Step 46.
Convert the rectange into an MC called "fade_mc"
 
Step 47.
Convert "fade_mc" into another MC called "fade_move_mc"
 
Step 48.
The fade will need an instance name, so that we can use Actionscript to reset the transition. So, click on the "fade_move_mc" and give it the instance name "fade"
 
Step 49.
Go into the fade_mc, but make sure not to click on the rectangle
 
Step 50.
Open up the "color mixer" panel (Window > Color Mixer) and cahnge the "type" to Linear. Double click on the slider on the left hand side (a) and enter the color #181D1F. Click on the slider on the right side, and reduce the Alpha to 0% (image b)
a)   b)
 
Step 51.
Even though the right hand side is transparent, it still needs to be given a color, so double click on the slider and enter #181D1F for it also. So now that the gradient has been set, create a gradient with a similar width to the one shown in (b)
a)   b)
 
Step 52.
Rotate the gradient, by clicking on it and going to Modify > Transform > Rotate 90 CCW. Then move it to the X & Y position shown in (B)
a)   b)
 
Step 53.
Enter the width shown in the image below
