i have a “movie.swf” that contains a movie clip box “window” which will have a alpha of 0 when first loaded,  
when i click on a button, “window” will appear with a alpha of 100.

this works fine when i launch it on it own, but when “movie.swf” is being called from the main swf, there will be a quick flash of the “window” before it goes back to normal.

anyone experience this before, how to solve it, its very irritating…
