one more question, ok i like to tell u, exactly what is the concept, everything is fine , what i have to do, there 10 thumbnail on the stage of different category, if u click on one category, a big image will be open on click event, the whole jpeg file should be called externally plus along with the big image i have to integrate the text file below the big image.

the whole thing is completed, but the problem what i am facing is that i have to give a transition effect the each externally called jpeg file say on click whenever a image is called it should be come as fade in, plus the background of the movie should change automically,

so if u got the solution plz suggest something

```auto
next.onPress = function() {
    if (myPic<6 && !fadein && !fadeout) {
        fadeOut = true;
        myPic++;
        input = myPic;
    }
};
back.onPress = function() {
    if (myPic>1 && !fadein && !fadeout) {
        fadeOut = true;
        myPic--;
        input = myPic;
    }
};
container._alpha = 0;
myPic = 1;
// initiate change to new image when buttons are clicked
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    // when a new Photo is selected, fade out, load new image, and fade in
    if (container._alpha>10 && fadeout) {
        container._alpha -= 10;
    }
    if (container._alpha<10) {
        loadMovie("images/your_pic"+mypic+".jpg", "container");
        fadeOut = false;
        fadeIn = true;
    }
    if (container._alpha<100 && fadein && !fadeout) {
        container._alpha += 10;
    } else {
        fadeIn = false;
    }
};

```

This is the fade in fade out effect. Save your images in a folder called “images”, save them as “my\_pic1”, “my\_pic 2” and so on.

I want to create this same fade in and fade out effect for a portfolio. Not using a next and back button but several thumbnail buttons. How would I go about doing that? I’ve searched and can’t find the answer. Thanks for any help.

Thanks a lot Scotty. That’s exactly what I wanted to do. What is the .DS\_Store file?

i’m not sure. i think it’s a little file that the mac creates to know where he has stored something.  
you can just ignore it(-:
