Fading Grid Help

Just a quick question:

When creating a fading grid, how do you change the background colour the image fades into?

For example in my .fla the background colour is a reddish colour - however before the image loads, and the fading is taking place, there is a white space where the image is supposed to sit - can I change this colour at all??

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I changed the box to that reddish colour - but that doesn’t seem to be the problem.

The problem is, the space the image that is fading eventually takes up is white until the image loads - I want to make the space coloured.

I’m sorry if I’m not making myself clear, but if you check out my .fla you can see what I mean.

Thanks
