Flash Intro - Suggestions Needed

Hi Guys and Gals

I am trying to create a Flash intro of flying through clouds and then you see buildings below and then as you come down, the buildings materialize into the clients logo.

Any suggestions on how I can do the clouds bit? Bit of a newcomer to Flash so would like any suggestions you are willing to offer.

Thanks

Kazz

Your easiest bet would be to create the clouds in Photoshop (or another graphics program) and export it as a PNG with transparecy so the partially transparent areas will still be partially transparent when imported into Flash (image must have a transparent background, meaning no background when being made or saved)

Your secondary method of doing this would be to use a radial gradient in Flash (white to silver or something) and then after creating the shape you want the cloud to be, convert that shape into a movieclip symbol and open the properties panel to adjust the Alpha settings as reduce it's opacity so you can see through it.
