Hi,

Still new to this so I my be setting this up the wrong way. I'm loading an
exteral movie (1.jpg) into a movie clip (image1), then nesting it inside
another clip (ref1) where it plays for 50 frames, then fades out (alpha100-0)
from frame 51-75. This is not working for me and I'm hoping someone can point
me in the right direction. The only script I am using so far is-

loadMovieNum("images/group_1/1.jpg", 100);


What really need to accomplish is to make a slide show. To keep the load time
from being to large I want to break the show into a few pieces (4 movies). I
also want the movies to call the images dynamically so the can be switched out
relativley quickly. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

The best way would be to fade via actionscript. There is a slide show example
included with Flash that you can have a look at...but it will probably scare
you off if you are new to actionscript. You will need to learn three things:

1. loading via MovieClipLoader (look in the Actiosncript dictionary)
2. detecting that the file has fully loaded
3. Fading the alpha via scripting

Here's a tutorial that might get you going:
