New here…first post. I’ve built many projects over the years using Flash. In fact I started with FutureSplash 1.0. But I’ve been out of the loop and am trying to re-educate myself about all the new ways of doing things in Flash, for example: actionscripts. I hope someone can look at the attached source FLA and help me understand how to go from the preloader to the “fadegrid” movie (which is an actionscript). I’ve banged my head on this for two days and I’m stuck. Obviously I’m missing something major here: the preloader works, but then when it goes to frame 3 the actionscript which is at that frame doesn’t run. If I remove the preloader frames (there are 2), the fadegrid actionscript works fine. [I’d also like a tip/clue on how to have several “fadegrid”'s one after another with different background images. But maybe this should be another thread.] Really appreciate all the great posts here and the community spirit. Russ rmmcclay
