Is the background a bitmap? If so, a bit of it can be placed above
the scroller and have it's edges faded to transparent. Make the fade
in Photoshop or equivalent and save as png to allow the transparency.
Import into flash. If it's a solid color you can do the fade in
Flash. Your scrolling motion will not be as smooth if you Alpha fades
over bitmaps though.
