Hi guys!

I would like to ask you how to achieve this effect, found on [www.akqa.com](http://www.akqa.com) where when the mouse is over the navbar, the background image goes dark. By flash file consist of a movieloader component which randomly choses a background. can i somehow with actionscript refer to that background when mouse is over a symbol?

I hope I explained this properly. appreciate some help!

thanks,  
Marito
