Alden, if I could just add a little "tweak" to your "60 frames FLC, first half pure white last half pure black. If you look at a light when it goes off, you will noitice a glow-down right after the click and a shorter glow-up when it is turned on. So in my opacity masks for lights going on to off I have a brief drop off from White to Black through a grayscale, the length of which I determine depending on the kind of light that is going off. The resultant glow-down is appreciated by the viewer, particularly if the light is a blinking one. Also, depending on th ekind of light, I sometimes put a little up-ramp as well, naturally much shorter. Jeffrey
