Hello! I’m working in a photogallery inside a mc (ex. movie\>menu\>gallery). There are 6 thumbnails in this gallery and I would need this: clicking on a tb i would open the bigger image in a mc in the root with alpha effect (fade in).

I started using this code:

```auto

this.thumb1.onRelease = function() {
	_root.contenitore._alpha = 0;
	_root.contenitore.loadMovie("immagine1.jpg");
			onEnterFrame = function () {
				if (_root.contenitore._alpha<100) {
					_root. contenitore._alpha += 8;
				} else {
					delete this.onEnterFrame;
				}
			}
}

```

The first click works fine but the crossfade between images is impossible because my mc container has set to \_alpha = 0 after the first click.

Any suggestions?
