I’m trying to get an effect similar to the buttons on this page, where the image fades in on roll-over.

[http://www.digital-assault.com/](http://www.digital-assault.com/)

however, when inside the movie clip, flash doesn’t seem to let me adjust the alpha setting on the .jpg that needs to fade in.

what am I doing wrong?

thanks a ton in advance!!!
