[_][size=3][font=Times New Roman]Is there a way to have the movieclip “fade” not to exist until “database\_btn” is mouse’d-in. Then removed after it returns to \_alpha = 0?[font=Verdana][/font][/font][/size]  
[_][size=3][font=Times New Roman]Why aren’t the button rollovers working within the fade clip?[font=Verdana][/font][/font][/size]  
[/list][color=black][font=Verdana] [/font][/color]
