[flash8] background colour tween?

hi there, i’m a new member on this forum, but hope someone will be able to help me out.

i’m trying to blend the background colour of a movie from one colour to another when the mouse hovers over different images. i have studied the tween class tutorials, and some other posts on here about fade but as yet have not had the skill to apply this to my needs. i’ve set up a very simple actionscript where when the mouse hovers over an image, it enlarges like the mac dock. i’m creating an image gallery, i’m trying to alter the background to best represent the image.

thanks in advance,

christian
