Leave that tree, but if you want to see one of that kind of tree then you can visit golkonda fort,hyderabad where you can find a tree named ‘elephant tree/hatyan ka jahad’. I’ve been there and its not a fake. Please click on the link below for more details and how to reach there.

One can make “transitions” and easing-effects by just assigning different alpha values to sprites and then change the alpha value of their parent. A child with starting alpha 10 will not visually fade before parent has reached alpha 0.1 (or so I believe).

When trying to fade complex sprites (sprites with many children/shapes) the result can be messy. Setting high alphas for some of the children may help to control unwanted effects.

package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

public class AlphaTest extends Sprite
{

public function AlphaTest ()
{
var spr:Sprite;
for ( var i:uint = 0; i < 10; i++ )
{
spr = new Sprite();
spr.alpha = i;
spr.graphics.beginFill( 0xff0000 );
spr.graphics.drawCircle( i * 40 + 30, 300, 20 );
addChild ( spr );
}

addEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler );
}

private function enterFrameHandler ( e:Event ):void
{
alpha -= 0.01;

if ( alpha <= 0 ) removeEventListener( Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler );
}
}
}

Processing is not exactly new though, it has been around for almost 10 years!
