Fading an external swf into view

1

hello

can anyone direct me in the right direction what i would like to do is fade in the contents of an external swf

i use the following on a button to load my external swf

on (release) {
_root.news.loadMovie(“news.swf”)
}

what i then have is the external swf has a pre-loader before it shows the contents but i dont get how i can then fade in the contents of the swf once it has finished loading, as it contains static txt fields and a scroller section and a movie clip, im well and truly stuck in the mud.

could someone please help

i have looked at the transitions between external swf’s tut that helps with if i was animating between clips but i just dont know how to fade the stuff in

thanks in advance

Have you looked at this?

This is kinda similar. What you need to do is just replace the animation out section with a piece that fades…You have 4 options.
1-Tween each piece as individual movieclips from an Alpha of 0 to aplha 100% (Convert to movieclip then at the bottom u can select alpha)
2-Add all pieces to a 1 movieclip and do the above.
3-Create a movieclip identical to your background and fade it out.
4-Learn how to code it.

Personally if your a beginner you should probably do it way number 2 (add all into 1 big movieclip and tween). Number 1 is a bit messey and 3 is a bit of a cop out, althought will work.
