Step 4 - Fading the Title Sequence

The title scrolls up the page, which is a bit plain. Now we want to add a fade-in and fade-out as the title moves.

Select the 9th cell in the score and add a key frame. Now do the same for the 27th cell. It is at these points where we fade-in and then fade-out the title.

two key frames

Select the first cell in the score. Open the property inspector to the sprite tab and select the bend value of 0% as shown.

fading in

Similarly, do the same with the last cell in the score. This now gives the title the fade-in / fade-out effect, the title being at 100% between the 9th and 27th celss.
