You can fade the object behind the mask using an alpha tween. I always do my
alpha tweens using the motion tween, it probably is not the correct way to do
it, but it works best for me.
Hope that helps!

Hi,
Have you tried to convert the mask to a graphic and then apply an alpha tween to that? Don't know if it will work, but it might.

i think u can't fade the symbol in mask layer. u can rotate, tween, shape
tween... thts all
even 0% alpha will work as a MASK.

so better u can try alpha on the layer behind ur mask, as Heidi mentioned.

Hello --

use actionscript:

yourMC.setMask(maskMC);

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

if (maskMC._alpha > 0) {
setProperty (maskMC, _alpha, _alpha-=10);
}
}
