I am trying to create multiple buttons that have roll over and  
roll out animations that are independent from the main movie  
clip so that as you roll out of one button the animation will continue to play in its entirety(i.e. to an 0% alpha)  
as you roll on to another. I am still very green with action scripting so any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks

David

that is no problem. Just leave the "on(rollout) portion empty. Also, if you’re going to load multiple movies, keep in mind processor utilization and that that perhaps you want those movies on separate levels. (look into swapdepths, it may provide the effect you seek.
