I’m new to Actionscript 3.0 and I’m having trouble with this code. My external swf is loading fine, it’s the alpha tween that does not seem to be responding. I thought if I tween the holder movie clip that would affect the imported swf but it’s not working. If anybody has any solutions that would be much appreciated.

import fl.transitions.Tween;  
import fl.transitions.easing.\*;

var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();  
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“work.swf”);

hold\_mc.addChild(swfLoader);

swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);

swfLoader.load(bgURL);

function loadProdComplete(e:Event):void  
{  
trace(“file loaded”);  
}

function fadeIn(e:Event):void  
{  
var tweenfadeIn:Tween = new Tween(hold\_mc, “alpha”, None.easeOut, 0, 1, 1, true);  
}
