Im SURE I am not doing this right because the movie does not play…im trying to have 5 backgrounds fade in as the previous one fades out…I have 1 scene with 5 layers (each with a movie clip action on the first key frame) after i turned each one of the backgrounds into a graphic where I was able to play with the alpha of each. When i try to play the movie it only plays the first layer…i dont know how to get all of the layers to play…plz help!

What actionscript U used?  
Simplest way, no scripting: tween your bg’s, and towards the end of the 1st one, insert the 1st frame of the 2nd one on another layer and so on…like:  
…----layer 4  
…---- layer 3  
…---- layer 2  
— layer 1  
(dots are empty frames, ezboard removes blanks…)
