Hello Dudes and Dudettes,

Here’s one for you… :beam:

I have 6 buttons in a movie.  
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.  
Nothing too complicated so far.  
I also have 6 background images  
that I want to associate with each button.

When I click on a button, let’s say #3, I want this to happen :

- the current background fades out while background #3  
fades in.  
If I click on button #5, the background #3 has to fade out  
while background #5 fade in… and so on.

Any ideas would be truly appreciated.

You can do it using a method shown on this thread, there’s a sample FLA posted by Sorcerer that will give you an idea.
