hey again…

so here’s the scenario…

I’ve got 5 images that i want to display in flash, when i click a button 1 i want image one to show up then when i click button 2 or 3, etc. i want a mask to play over the image currently being displayed, which would be image 1, before displaying image 2 or 3 or whatever, then the same goes for that image so when i click any other button a mask plays over the current image selected before displaying the new image? is there a simple way to do this, i’ve been trying eerything i can think of but no luck :crying:

thanks
