Can it be done? I need soft edges on my mask.
Anyone got the know-how?

www.kirupa.com has tut on soft edges, or you can hit soften edges in one of the flash pull-downs.
you could use a png over the top of an image to get a gradient? potentially...

Cheers.
I've tried to 'soften the edges' to no avail. Can't use a png either as the player I'm using won't support it.
humph!

Anyone else got any ideas?
Perhaps it can't be done then?

The best thing to do it create what you want in Fireworks, then save as a PNG and import as a flat bitmap. You can achieve that feathered gradient look that way.

you cant do it as a mask, the values are either true or false (or visible || not visible)
you CAN make a png or something with a hole in it an plop it on top, but that;s probably a little different than what you're looking for....

you can make a rectangle(or whatever shape) and throw a gradient on it...but instead of the gradient being two colors, make the one side transparent, thus fading from a color to nothing. i've done it, it's hot.
