You can make symbols disappear using the Alpha effect and motion tweening. To fad an entire movie out to the background color create a rectangle of the same colour as your background, which is the same size as your movie and therfore covers it up in a new layer and in a keyframe (press F6) you want the fad to start from. select your rectangle and Press F8 to make it into a symbol then go to color effect in properties and apply 100% alpha. All you need do then is allow some frames for the fad down to take effect and add another key frame. Again select your rectangle in the second keyframe and apply 0% alpha to it in color effects so it is now opaque. You will then need to click on one of the frames between the first and second of the keyframes and go to properties and apply frame tweening (motion). This should do the trick, all you need to do then is add a few frames at the end of your movie so that the screen will be blank for a few seconds. Hope this helps :) Nick
