hmmm really nice transitions on that site, but I would think that its not changing bg colour dynamically, but through loadMovie with nice bg graphic in the loaded movie… But, say u wanted to change the bg colour, you could make a new mc that covers the entire stage, give it an instance name of bg. then make a button, and put the following code on the button. This code will make it grey. [AS] on(release){ myColour = new Color(\_root.bg); myColour.setRGB(0xCCCCCC); myMC.color }[/AS] ---

Kirupa recently made a color tutorial that is pretty basic, but explains how to set up this effect. [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/color.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/color.htm) I was wondering if there is a small way to modify this, to allow the color change to be a transition between two colors, and not an instant change… Does anybody have a clue as to how to accomplish this?? ---

Couldn’t you just use ```auto endcolour //or some equivalent as in end_x for movement ``` ---

Im not sure what i could and couldn’t use, as i am an actionscripting bonehead… however… i found this thread by searching [actionscript.org](http://actionscript.org) [http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=25756](http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=25756) In the second post, there is some actionscript, as well as a neat little \*.FLA file to download… it solved my problem… ---

just add the goto command to your buttons, then send it to the appropraiate frame label were there will be a movie clip that loads the backfround hope it helps
