I’ve read thru the tutorial, however, my transitions between SWF’s have nothing to do with buttons or navigation.

I have a 39 second presentation that is in 3 parts. Each part is a separate SWF file loaded into a main movie. The main movie contains a narrative soundtrack and all 3 movies must synch to the narrative.

Everything works great, but the transitions are little rough around the edges between sections, a little too sudden. I really would prefer to smooth it out, but I’m no actionscript wiz, not by a long shot. I’ve tried adding fade-outs and fade-ins, but I invariably end up with an ugly pause of black background between movies :(.

Any suggestions on how I might adapt the tut from here to work in my scenario ??

Thanks in advance 🙂
