Loading swfs, Alpha Effect Fade In/Out

programming flash
1

I have looked and looked for some code or tutorials on this…but have been unsuccessful.

Here is how I have set up a site I am building…real basic I know.

Level 0 - Main Navigation - contains background images, nav, etc
Level 1 - Subpages - (loaded ontop of Level 0) - some of which contain actions to fire other swfs that are loaded onto Level 2 and above (such as scrolling text boxes).

So Here’s my question…when you use the load movie command…in this case, I am using buttons on my main nav (level 0) to fire the load movie command for subpage swfs located on level 1…is there a script that I can write that would make the level 1 swf fade (dissolve) on using the _alpha command instead of just appearing (from thin air…like a cut in videospeak)???. Is there a way to create a similar transition for unloading the swf as well? Can you tell that I come from a video background and not coding???

Help me please. Thanks.

Why not make that directly in the clip you’re loading ? It should be easier.

yeah… that’s tough… I’d say that Pom is on the mark.

Create the fading effect in the movie itself so that it performs this before reaching the loadMovie(); command.
