Hello,

If you go here: [http://phayzed.com/idfw](http://phayzed.com/idfw) and click the first movie, it calls in an external swf. A dark gray overlay appears, and the text and buttons fade away.

I did this using a pretty newb method: by simply fading in the background in the external swf.

Makes me cringe though, 'cause it adds an extra 300kb to the file.

There was to be a non-newb way to do this. (-: Perhaps using Actionscripting? I am a relative newb and am willing to learn. Would appreciate any insight.

Cheers  
Thuan
