alpha fade

it is pretty simple, you could just tint it to white, and the white looks like it flashes...
avoid alphas, unless you are on a color background.

No it's not a simple fade, or tint.
You can clearly see that the image itself actually changes, u need to create a second image, that is kinda dodged, like use levels to make it real bright. Then in flash fade from normal image to dodged and then to white.

The following example creates an instance of the Color object called myColor for the movie clip myMovieClip and sets its RGB value:
myColor = new Color(myMovieClip);
myColor.setRGB(0xff9933);

Could have been done with Robert Penner's color functions. Sorry, no link but google or go to robertpenner.com

Use a color transform object. Thats how I did all the flash modules for www.chrysler.com/crossfire

Haha weird! I posted that same site last week asking how. Search for "Flash This" in the PV-AN and you'll see my thread.
I was super easy to do using the advanced settings method that someone described in that thread. Come out pretty nicely...

Sorry, you're all wrong!... and it's my secret how... MWAHAHAHA! Don't believe I really know? Here's some of my own work, the same effect, and then some...

J that's cool man....you are steppin it up another level with the image blur in there. ;)
Yours are well done... I like.

Cheers fella! I actually did that a few years ago now too! I'm a pioneer and no mistake! Heh. ...and that effect still grabs people by both eyes :) In that example, I used a combination of the advanced fade effect (to get the bleaching / darkening), and a simple alpha fade between two versions of the same image (sharp and blurred) for the defocussing part of the effect. Ba-da-bing...

Aside from just tweening from alpha/brightness/tinting I was unaware that you can use negative values in the advanced settings to give a photo negative effect. (film burn)
So using this and creative tweening you can achieve the bmw effect.

Hahahaha! I saw a MONKEY!

pull everything on the right all the way to the top. (thats in the advanced controls.
is that easy.

you just have to play around with fading and what not in Flash. However, I can see how Adobe After Effects would do the same thing.

You can do it using the Color.setTransform object.
It allows you to control all those settings in the advanced panel.
