My brother ~InsaneShane is going through a phase where he likes to do vampire photomanips - and once he has done them, he likes to present them as a flash-rollover that when you run your mouse over the image, you see the manipulated image appear over the original.
Now the method he was using was the same as Nocturnal-Devil's tutorial: [link] which just flipped from one image to the other.
While skyping one night, my brother mentioned to me that he wanted to do one which has a nice fade from one image to the other. So that night we think-tanked and brainstormed and had only a slight bit of success (neither of us have ever done anything major with flash).
The next day I made it my goal to research it and see if I can work it all out, and this is the final result of that research! A nice (relatively) simple tutorial on how to make your own fancy fading rollover in Flash!
It is a pretty simple tutorial, but it does require some code entry, so at the end of this description I have pasted the code you need. Hopefully this will save you a lot of typing!
I know this is a really simple piece of code and all you flash experts are probably going to laugh at it, but for us non-flash savvy folks it's a pretty major milestone! lol.
If you use the tutorial to make something and you submit it to DA, feel free to post a link to it in the comments!
Here's the code snippet you need to paste into the Action script panel near the end of the tutorial:
I was getting mad in try myself to get a rollover done in Flash (never used before), then I found your tutorial that has saved me sleepless nights! You are exactly right saying "but for us non-flash savvy folks it's a pretty major milestone!" Here is my first ever rollover [link]
