ok, i’ve got this external image loading in but when it loads in I want it to fade in instead of just appear.

here is the code I have already:

[COLOR=seagreen]mybg.contentPath = “images/flash-bgs/” + \_root.page + “.jpg”;[/COLOR]

Im thinking i’ve got to link it in with this code.

[COLOR=blue]function fadeIn() {  
this.\_alpha += 25;  
if (this.\_alpha\>=100) {  
this.\_alpha = 100;  
this.onEnterFrame = null;  
}  
}[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black]please help[/COLOR]
