Hi everyone,

I’m trying to apply a fade-in effect to a jpeg that is being dynamically loaded into a movieclip. The problem is, the fade works only when I do a refresh in page. The first time it shows no fade, just the image.

Here’s the code I’m using:

```auto
fita.loadMovie ("img1.jpg");
 
fita._alpha = 0
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (fita._alpha <= 100) {
fita._alpha += 10;
}
};

preloader.onEnterFrame = function () {
	var loaded = fita.getBytesLoaded ();
	var total = fita.getBytesTotal ();
	var percent = Math.round((loaded/total)*100);
	if (loaded != total) {
		this._visible = true;
		//this.l1.text = Math.round (loaded/1000) + " kb";
		//this.t2.text = Math.round (total/1000) + "kb";
		this.p3.text = percent + "%";		 
 	} else {
		// fully loaded
		this._visible = false;
	}
};

```
