it’d have to be like this:  
you’d have an instance in Movie1, which i will call obj1  
and in Frame1 of Movie1, i’ll have this code:

```auto
obj1.loadMovie("movie2.swf");

```

then, one movie 2 has finished loading, you’d execute this script:

```auto
obj1._alpha --;

```

if you want it to fade out completely, just repeat that over a number of frames. 🙂
