Hi!  
I use this code on my page:  
\*  
on(press) {  
\_root.play();  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“studio\_in”);  
}  
\*  
When I press the button, it will play a fadeouteffect that’s positioned one frame after the currentframe.

1.It fades out the current shown image with _\_root.play();_  
2.It fades in the new image, with \*\_root.gotoAndPlay(“studio\_in”);

\*The problem is that it seems that it just runs \*\_root.gotoAndPlay(“studio\_in”); _and skipps the fadeout:_\_root.play();

\*If I just run _\_root.play();_[font=Arial] the fadeout works, but not if I run gotoAndPlay after the play() section. Howcome??

regards, henrik, sweden
