You may also apply key-frame animation to properties such as Alpha. For example, the following excerpt from the provided custom XML file demonstrates how to linearly interpolate the value of the Alpha property. In this case, the Alpha element takes on several Point child elements.

...
  <Alpha type="float" evaluation="Linear">
    <Point time="0.000000" value="1.000000" />
    <Point time="0.966667" value="0.000000" />
    <Point time="1.000000" value="0.000000" />
  </Alpha>
