dissolving effect for image in Flash

[mr_newbie]

in Flash, how do you make an image appear with a dissolving effect? basically, ive got a picture, and i want it to appear on the screen in a dissolving way.
im using ActionScript 2.0.

thanks!

One of the simplest ways would be to convert the image to a symbol, change the alpha to 0 in the first frame, and 100 in the 10th (or whatever duration you like) and create a motion tween between the key frames.
You could also fade out to a black screen, or have a cross dissolve with the first image fading out as a second is fading in.
Have fun and experiment!
