Hey
I’m trying to build a photo gallery. I am setting movie clips within buttons so that i can just click on a photo for it enlarge, and then go back to normal when released again.
Is there a way of making the photo fade in nicely?

Use the alpha in the properties.

thanks - thats great. Is there any easy way of doing it, or is it a case of just adding key frames and changing the alpha levels manually?

I think that it’s possible to do it in AS but then I don’t know how.

```php
onClipEvent(load) {
_alpha = 0;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_alpha += 5
}
```
this is real simple but maybe u can use it.
