The following handler generates a frame that has the transition cast member Fog assigned in the transition channel followed by a set of empty frames. The argument numberOfFrames sets the number of frames.

-- Lingo syntax
on animBall(numberOfFrames)
   _movie.beginRecording()
      _movie.frameTransition = member("Fog").number
      _movie.go(_movie.frame + 1)
      repeat with i = 0 to numberOfFrames
         _movie.insertFrame()
      end repeat
   _movie.endRecording()
end animBall

// JavaScript syntax
function animBall(numberOfFrames) {
   _movie.beginRecording();
      _movie.frameTransition = member("Fog").number;
      _movie.go(_movie.frame + 1);
      for (var i = 0; i <= numberOfFrames; i++) {
         _movie.insertFrame();
      }
   _movie.endRecording();
}
