Fading Graphics - Flash

This flash animaion involves two panoramas and text. The panorama of the San Gabriel Mountains is in the transform layer which is on top of the panorama of the CSUN campus. By selecting the transform track one can see its properties.

Click on the edit feature to see the effects that have been applied to the San Gabriel Mountains. Note that the final alpha has been set to zero, meaning that the graphic will fade to totally transparent by the end of the sequence. Since the panorama of the campus is below it, one will see the campus when the animation is complete.

To show on the web, the flash file must be exported from a .fla file to a .swf file. You can then insert your flash file using the insert/media/flash command. If you do not see the animation, read the note here.
