    Changing Alpha on a Symbol

    andrewmcgibbon Community Member
      I am trying to create a symbol and over the course of several frames have it go from 0 alpha to 100. Shouldn't be hard, or so I thought. I am doing the following:

      Open a new document, by default there is a keyframe in frame 1;
      Then I Draw a Box and convert it to a graphic symbol;
      I then go to frame ten and enter a keyframe;
      I confirm that in frame 10 that the alpha in the color panel is set to 100;
      I then add a motion tween;
      I then go to frame 1 to change the alpha to 0 but when I do, it changes the alpha for the symbol in both key frames.

      If someone could tell me what I am doing incorrectly, I would be very appreciative.

      Thanks,
      Andy
