Need help getting objects to fade in and out

I cannot seem to find any information in the tutorials. I am trying to get objects to fade in and out of a scene but so far all I've found is to shrink it down and then expand it out. What I need is for the object to 'materialize' and then fade away.

    As a point of interest, I tried typing "adobe animate getting objects to fade in and out" into Google and got multiple relevant tutorials on the very first page of results.

    I do not know how to do the code so I stick in the timeline. Does it work better or easier in the code? I am not adverse to learning.

    If you want something to fade in as part of an animation, you would usually do that in the timeline. There are plenty of videos that show how to get started, and the videos to do with Flash Pro would still apply to Animate. Here's a short video as an example:

    Creating a Fade effect in Adobe Flash - YouTube

    He does a couple of things different to how I would do it, but the video does show the idea of key frames, the Alpha color effect, and creating a tween.

      Do you want to do that with code or using the timeline? If it's code, are you doing ActionScript 3 or HTML5 Canvas JavaScript?
