Hi – I don’t have the AS3 wherewithal to figure this out on my own, unfortunately. I’m using the below code to call up external jpegs via thumbnails placed on the stage (“guatTnails.boatAtDuskTh” being a sample thumbnail). I’m calling them into a component loader (“loader”).

I slapped the tween fade code into the function to see if it would work, and lo and behold it did. But only when I preview the swf in Flash, where it works nicely. When I run “simulate download” or when I upload to the web, it’s as if the code isn’t there – no fade-in at all.

Any idea why it works in Flash but not in real life, and/or is there another simple way to achieve a fade in for each image in my photo gallery?

Thanks!!

import fl.transitions.Tween;  
import fl.transitions.easing.\*;

guatTnails.boatAtDuskTh.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, ldr1)  
function ldr1 (e:Event) {  
loader.load(new URLRequest(“pictures/boat at dusk.jpg”));  
var myFadeIn:Tween = new Tween(loader, “alpha”, Regular.easeIn, 0, 1, 1, true);  
}
