Hi everyone,  
I just got a simple question but it seems abit complex for me… I’m trying to create a menu which has 4 buttons, and each button indicates to a section…  
ex. Button A indicates Section A  
Button B indicates Section B…etc.  
Now I want that when I hit button A, then the current section (whatever section it is) fades out and section A fades in to be replaced in the field.  
Then if I hit button C, the current section (section A) fades out and section C fades in…

Hope someone can help me to answer this question! Thanks!

If I understand correctly, you’re trying to create a transition between the sections when buttons are pressed. Take a look at this thread, it would come in handy. =)

Nice!! Thanks alot eg.! Even though I don’t quite understand how it works, but the FLA file helps me to solves the problem anyways!! 😉

Just study the FLA, it may seem a bit tricky at first, but you’ll get it after awhile. =)

transitions are difficult to conceptualize…
