Hi all I am wondering if anyone can explain or help me code this effect as seen
here on this http://www.ronmacphoto.com/# When you click on one fo the images
in teh scroll bar you will see the image burn in from white to the true colors.
I ahve been trying to re-create this effect with the brightness tween but
still am unable to get the overall effect as dramatic.

The effect takes a picture and when the image comes in it burns in from a
bright white to a soft even fade to the true colors. I would be gratefull to
anyone who could either explain the process or help me with an FLA that I could
break down.

Again the web site up top ronmac.com will show an example of it.

Thank you in advance.

Looks to me like they just did a motion tween , with the starting brightness
all the way up, and the alpha at about 80-90%, and then tweening it to a 100%
alpha and a 0% brightness - does that answer your question?

Get a jpg of something, make it a symbol with a motion tween, and start it at
frame 1 with the brightness set at 100 and hte alpha at 85, then 10 frames
later change the color to none. See what that does

If you read through the posts you will see we figured it out using the rgb mode
cranked up to 100% on each color then tweened it back to original state. Works
like a charm. Brightness and alpha do not accomplish the same effect.

or try this:
say you have this image tree, open it in Photoshop then CTRL+L for levels, and
drag the white arrow of RGB all the way to the left or 1/2 as you wish, in your
movie put the original image under the edited image in a different layer, and
tween the edited image from alpha 100 to NONE or 0
