HI

I’m clueless how/if this problem can be solved, I have a swf that is loaded with moviecliploader class onto a container empty mc.

The problem is, some stuff on the loaded swf contains a blend mode overlay + alpha animation. When it’s loaded … the overlay mode is just aparently ignored! \>\_\<

I guessed it’s maybe because the overlay thing is in one swf and the background is on the other, so i tried setting the overlay with with onLoadInit … :

```auto
content.menu.background.blendMode = 'overlay';

```

this had no good result, my alpha animation on the mc would just not happen and i got no overlay blend at all =((.

Thanks forward i someone can help me =D
