I'm still having problems with Fade in AS3. Here was my original icon (before I realized I slightly misquoted Galadriel (*grin*):

I liked the slowness of the fade, and how it seems to drip into the next line, but it was like, 188kb! Well, today I reworked it a little, speeding up the fade, and came up with:

which was done with a transition length of 0.7 seconds and six frames per second, and the size is still 118kb. Is there a way to get it more like the first one that isn't a massive file size? Grrr. Could it be that I'm putting the fade in the wrong positions? I don't think that's it, though... hrm.
