I’m trying to duplicate the fading sequence of text like in the example. I’m not sure where to look. Is this a graphic image that’s revolving or text?

Thanks

It is a Flash movie.

Try the one of the following actions

Target Show/Hide with Sequence Timer

News Cycle

I’m pretty new to this. I’ve never used Target Show Hide Layer before and am having a few issues. For my fading text, I’ve created files in Photoshop with my text and a transparent background.

When I import these into a graphic box in FW6, the graphic box is actually on top of another graphic box which contains a jpg.

The Show/hide effect is also affecting the jpg which is in the background. I only had the fading text graphic box selected when I applied this action.

Also the transparent background in my photoshop image, isn’t 100& transparent in FW. I’ve tried using PSD and GIF image formats.  
Any ideas?

Use Html layered containers with real text (better for SEO) then there wont be any image issues.

Dave,

Thank you for your help. It’s working now.

I watched the Freeway Video tutorial for this action over and over again. Since he used a graphic box in this vid, I thought that was the correct choice. As soon as you suggested using an html, everything worked.

Best,  
JT
