[FONT=Arial]I am in need of some assistance here, I have a website created in Flash/AS3 which is very simply done, but I’ve always had a problem fading (or any other effect) one movie clip to another by use of an event handler (Click, mouseOver, Mouse, **etc**.)

On the first frame I have the following code …of course modified for all my frame labels (“home”), (“about”) for starters …

++|| bn\_logo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reportClickLogo);  
++||  
++|| function reportClickLogo(myevent:MouseEvent):void{  
++|| gotoAndPlay(“home”); [SIZE=1] **// I don’t want it to just go to the label, I want it to do something and go to the label** [/SIZE]  
++|| mc\_quote.gotoAndPlay(“home”);[SIZE=1] **// This too!!** [/SIZE]  
++|| }

And on the timeline I seperate all the pages that I have content for in frame 5 which is labeled (“home”) and 20 (“about”).

So… When I press a button to go back n forth between these pages, it just gotoAndPlay(“the\_designated\_label”) I hate this way, and want a better way. When I leave a page it just disappears, and the new page animates in, but it doesn’t animate when I click…

I know I am a bit redundant, if you need examples you can go to a web site I’ve created for a company that has recorded a CD and wants to link it to pay-pal (eww) **[Nate and Kate Productions](http://www.natenkateproductions.com)**
