Hey folks…  
having a bit of trouble sorting this one out…  
I’m just doing a little test.

Bascially, there’s a holder\_mc in the “main.swf”, which is there to load the 2 external swf files…

2 buttons…

when I click the ‘about’ button, it loads the ‘one.swf’ in the holder\_mc with an “\_alpha 0 to 100”.

when I click the 'news button, it load the ‘two.swf’ in the holder\_mc with an “\_alpha 0 to 100”…

now…  
what I’m wanting it to do is…

if the one.swf is loaded in the holder\_mc, and I click on the ‘news’ button, I want the one.swf to go from alpha 100 to 0, and then it would load the two.swf alpha 0 to 100, and vise versa.

does that make sense?

here’s the code I got at the moment…, It seems to be skipping the if statement and going directly to the loadMovie… what do i need to do so it goes through the IF statement first before entering the loadMovie.
