The Fade effect animates the <code>alpha</code> property of a component.
If played manually (outside of a transition) on an object whose
<code>visible</code> property is set to false, and told to animate
<code>alpha</code> from zero to a nonzero value, it will set <code>visible</code>
to true as a side-effect of fading it in. When run as part of a
transition, it will respect state-specified values, but may use
the <code>visible</code> property as well as whether the object
is parented in the before/after states to determine the
values to animate <code>alpha</code> from and to if <code>alphaFrom</code>
and <code>alphaTo</code> are not specified for the effect.
