One great Effect that can be created in flash very easily is fading text it can make your site look a lot more cooler and gives you the facility of fading between images this tutorial will show you exactly how to do this.
Create a new movie and change the size to 200x50 and enter the text FlashAdvisor. Set the font color to something other than white.
Click on the text so it gets a blue box around it make sure u are on the arrow tool. Then Right click on the text and click convert to symbol or press F8. Convert the text to a Movie Clip and press ok.
A Small circle should appear now in the centre of your text that will be the sign to tell you that the text is a symbol:
Now right click on the movie clip and click on properties you should see a panel appear and at the bottom right you will see a colour section click the drop down menu and choose alpha to the right of the menu a percentage bar will appear drag this down to 0% this will make your text invisible.
Insert a keyframe at about 30 frames in and right click on the clip again and go to properties, back down to alpha but this time change the alpha to 100% then exit the properties panel, highlight the layer and right click and press create motion tween this will add a coloured arrow into the timeline press Ctrl+enter to view the movie.
If you want your text to fade back out like the sample then insert another keyframe at about 50 and change the alpha again to 0%
