Big, big problem for me but maybe not for you!  
I have a number of buttons that have to load images into another area of the page.  
Yes, it is easy enough using loadmovie and putting them in a clip.  
But! - this method immediately removes the previous image. I need the effect to retain the previous image so the new one loads and appears over the top of the previous one. In that way my images change in a much more fluent eye catching way.  
I am getting good at designing but my actionscript is still poor. I have even tried loading into levels and using swapdepth, but unfortunately I cannot swap between levels.  
I pray someone can help me - this is all getting rather frustrating.  
Thanks in advance.
