This code is on fame one of my buttons mc…
When I click on the first and then the second button everything is great.
As soon as I stop clicking… let’s say… 5-10 seconds of non-clicking time… there is a dramatic delay when displaying a graphic…
Why is this?
I dont understand why this is happening… after the images are loaded, they should just pull right up again… (My thoughts…)
Pleas help.
The code is…
[AS]
but.onPress = function() {
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);
\_root.container.loadMovie(“images/full/Fogged Eye v1.jpg”);
\_root.container.\_alpha = 0;
\_root.container.\_x = 290;
\_root.container.\_y = 10;
accel = \_root.container.\_alpha+8;
onEnterFrame = function () {
\_root.container.\_alpha += accel;
\_root.container1.\_alpha -= accel;
};
};
but2.onPress = function() {
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container1”, 2);
\_root.container1.loadMovie(“images/full/Precious Lightning v1.jpg”);
\_root.container1.\_x = 290;
\_root.container1.\_y = 10;
\_root.container1.\_alpha = 0;
accel = \_root.container1.\_alpha+8;
onEnterFrame = function () {
\_root.container1.\_alpha += accel;
\_root.container.\_alpha -= accel;
};
};
[/AS]

it may be because of that onEnterFrame function. Flash probably thinks you are trying to give that button an onEnterFrame, which it can’t do. try changing your oEF function headings to
```auto
_parent.onEnterFrame = function() { ... }
```

I did that… No change…
Thanks for the effort though.
Im not quite sure why this code is having this delaying-- problem…
I will post more code if someone wants to try to help.
* * *
I updated the pictures being loaded… I thought it was maybe the filesize of the full pictures. But it wasnt… It’s something with the way things are loaded/AS/objects… Something isnt right…
hhmm…
???
any thoughts?

here’s something you may want to look up in the flash help:
```auto
setInterval
```
i would go into detail but i have to go. i’ll check back later.
