Hello, I am new to Flash, but have been reading everything I can find. I am trying to create a header with a menu bar that will be embedded at the top of each page of the site. I have it looking like I want it, but I am having trouble making it do what I want it to do. I have three text areas that I have made into movie clips. I want them to “fade in” one after the other, then stop with all three visible, then wait for a click on the menu bar. I can make them fade in, but not stop. I have tried several different things, but no success. If anyone is willing to try to help me, I can attach the fla. Thanks.
