** conceptual question **

All the images have to be in timeline 1 on different layers
(they all have to be in timeline one…)

I have a frame, it has a lot of images on it, with them all set to _alpha = 0;

on a button press the required image has its alpha set to 100;

however this means there will be a lot of images on the screen at once…

If alpha is set to 0 does flash have to still draw the object, is there a better way ?
