Fade effects

1

i am making a page, and i am wondering how i would add a fade effect so that when i press the button to link it to another page, it would fade out, then fade back in. currently, all the different pages are set up as frames, and the button that links to them is a simple go to and stop command. how would i do this? any help would be very umm, helpful

Are you trying to fade the buttons or the pages itself? And if you could, could you describe what you want a little bit more? How are your pages set up?

Sorry for the slow response Glassman, I did take a look at your page and I know what you mean. I was wondering if you could zip up your fla file and post it here so I can take a look at it? It will help me if I can actually play with it.

here is the .fla file of the page. it is quite small, so i didn’t find the need to zip it.

wow your fla was a mess, but I cleaned it up and applied the fade tweens. You should start the habbit of making things on seperate layers. I noticed you had a bunch of stuff on the same layer so it’s really confusing. Here is your fla, I hope that’s what you wanted. =)

well, thank you, it does work nicely, but now for me comes the hard part of figuring out how u did it. Thanks.

No problem Glassman, what I did was just place each section you had on seperate layers of their own and converted each group to movieclips so that I could alpha fade tween them. It’s pretty straight forward so I’m sure you’ll figure it out. =)
