Using a paint program to adjust the transparency is what I'm currently doing to
achieve the result that I want but it's not a perfect solution because of the
number of images involved. I'm using the "transmit all" feature to animate some
elements of a website mockup animation that fade in and fade out, such as
buttons and pop-ups and such. Images that don't require different levels of
transparency work great and I can use "transmit all," and only one copy of the
image needs to be made. But images that require part of the image to be fully
transparent exhibit the problem in the image posted above, so I can't use
"transmit all" and I have to make many copies of the image with the varying
levels of transparency which is very tedious. That's why I was curious if there
was a better way so I just thought I'd ask. I should have a sample animation
ready to post soon that will make this more clear. It's a fun project.
