I have a movie clip that is simply a big white “shape” that fades from 0% alpha to 100% alpha…

all I want to do is have my movie play the “shape mc” when someone presses the “next” or “previous” buttons in my “powerpoint style” presentation in order to create a smooth fading transition between screens.

how can I link the fading in of the shape to the press of the button?

🙂

thanks in advance!
