Control a movieclip timeline

ok.

what i’m trying to accomplish is on
the rollover of a button, a picture
fades in, and on rollout, the picture
fades out. that shouldn’t be too hard,
but i would like to have one rolled out
and another rolled over, so one picture
is fading out, and another fading in
these pictures are supposed to overlay
so i am thinking that i will need to use
actionscripts to control the timeline of
a movieclip.

so my question is, “How do i control
the timeline of a movieclip from the
base leve?”

any ideas, comments, or help are great
thanks

whatup dude,

just make a movie clip that houses the pics you want to fade and have a button control that clip.

like this:
on (rollOver){
_root.MC.gotoAndPlay(“open”);
}
on (rollOut){
_root.MC.gotoAndPlay(“close”);
}

make sense?
