at a wild guess, Intialised is when you want it not complete

loadClip is better than loadMovie for this sort of thing as it has own listerner

_reaches for suicide pill_

from the code you want a button which loads an image with a transistion effect on it

nothing to do with xml really,

as long as the images load 😜

you load them with loadClip(), and when its “Int’d” you run your tween effect
