i pretty much want a mouse over effect on the “lakes” ie. fire lake and earth lake and water lake, i just want to make it so that when the mouse goes over a lake, i want it to light up, and then slowly go darker then when the mouse comes off i want that process to reverse, then go back to it’s original state. do u understand\>?

o i guess the fla is to big to attach ☹

and my host won’t let me host it …

if u got aim or give me your email and i can send it to you… sorry about this

Use the pen tool and trace out the shape of the lake and fill it with white or something, convert the lake shape to a movieclip.

Next inside that movieclip you just created, place a stop action on the first frame.

Next create an alpha tween on frames 1-10, the alpha tween of it fading out so you would give it a label name of “out” for example. To label a frame, open your properties panel to do so.

Next frames 11-20 would be the alpha tween of it fading back in from 100 to 0 alpha. Also click on frame 11 and give it a label name as well, something like “out.”

Now on the main timeline, drag an instance of that movie you created out on stage and apply an action like this to your movieclip:

```php
on (rollOver){
	this.gotoAndPlay("out");
}
on (rollOut){
	this.gotoAndPlay("in");
}

```

that’s because you’re exporting your swf as **flash 5**  
export it as **flash 6** and the problem should be solved 😏
