Hello all… brand new to [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com)… Also sort of new to action script.

I’ve got to believe there is a line of code to solve this…

the contents involved:

- (3) buttons … about\_btn, menu\_btn, & daily\_btn
- (3) .swf files named about.swf, menu.swf, & daily.swf
- i have reserved layers 2 and 3 to load these ".swf 's " into (other layers are in use w/ backgrounds)
- all 3 .swf’s have a “lead-in” of 20 frames that fades from transparent to opaque  
i use this code for each one of the buttons:

_**[COLOR=blue]on (release) {[/COLOR]**_  
_**[COLOR=blue]loadMovieNum("\ sub\_categories\ menu.swf", 3); [/COLOR]**_  
_**[COLOR=blue]}[/COLOR]**_

problem:

- i am trying to move the current “.swf” on layer 3 to layer 2 and then load the new .swf that is called to load on layer 3 . (this way the new one will fade over the previously loaded movie) but i don’t understand code well enough to know how to get this to happen.

the rest of the buttons and code work fine… just the transitions don’t look so hot

anyone know a quick and easy solution to this?

thanks in advance
