ooops... wrong thread.
Anyway, you can make the background the same color as you faded png (not tiff).

you can use a pict file with an alpha channel

why not tiff? if i import (using QT) it does show with alpha, however when i make that alpha image as mask it becomes a flat rectangle.
The idea is to swap one image with another. One image is wiped off the screen with the other image being revealed as the old one is wiped. I want the wiping edge to be blurry.

i'm not saying to use as alpha (actionscript mask or mask layer). just put it over the movie/symbol you want ot 'mask', with the same color as the background.
because you can't have faded/blurred actionscript mask or mask layers in Flash. they are just going to turn into maks the WHOLE space used by the image (_width+_height).
