Flash Valentine's Card III

Fading Text and Conclusion

Last but not least, create another shape tween just like the one that you used to fade in the hearts; the only difference is, you're only going to use two keyframes--one transparent, and one completely opaque, so that the text fades in over however many frames you choose and then stops at the last frame (held there by the Stop you inserted) while the clouds and hearts still continue to animate in the background while the message is static.

It's a very basic card in appearance, but requires use of many different tools and functions that we've covered in various lessons, making it a good practice exercise. I've added audio to my e-card (clicky clicky), using a royalty-free looping audio clip from the small library of completely free clips at royaltyfreemusic.com; if you don't remember how to add audio, review this lesson.
