fading an external swf into view

  • hello

    can anyone direct me in the right direction what i would like to do is fade in the contents of an external swf

    i use the following on a button to load my external swf

    on (release) {
    _root.news.loadMovie("news.swf")
    }

    what i then have is the external swf has a pre-loader before it shows the contents but i dont get how i can then fade in the contents of the swf once it has finished loading, as it contains static txt fields and a scroller section and a movie clip, im well and truly stuck in the mud.

    could someone please help

    i have looked at the transitions between external swf's tut that helps with if i was animating between clips but i just dont know how to fade the stuff in

    thanks in advance


  • Have you looked at this? (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tween_as_preloader.htm)

    This is kinda similar. What you need to do is just replace the animation out section with a piece that fades....You have 4 options.
    1-Tween each piece as individual movieclips from an Alpha of 0 to aplha 100% (Convert to movieclip then at the bottom u can select alpha)
    2-Add all pieces to a 1 movieclip and do the above.
    3-Create a movieclip identical to your background and fade it out.
    4-Learn how to code it.

    Personally if your a beginner you should probably do it way number 2 (add all into 1 big movieclip and tween). Number 1 is a bit messey and 3 is a bit of a cop out, althought will work.
