Could someone please help me.
I’ve designed a movie whereby each section is a movieclip that is set to visible when a button is clicked (the some button sets all other section movieclips to invisible).
i would like the visible movieclip to play an exit animation and then have the specified movieclip play.
thnx in advance

not beeing an actionscript expert here is what I did on my website;
for each of my “Sections”, I have a mask layer that covers the text and images contained in those movie clips. That mask is a square symbol with an animation tween that makes it grow to “unmask” the content.
All in all, I think it gives an interesting transition from one movie to another.
You can look for yourself on my website…you’ll understand what I mean.
