| Here's the concept. A button on the main timeline will load a movie clip called
'aoc' with an instance name of thumbs_aoc_mc. In the loaded movie clip, there
are 10 small 75X75 buttons which will contain thumbnails loaded from an images
folder on the site using loadMovie(). Each of these boxes is an instance of a
button called thumbnail. Each instance has a name such as thumnail1_btn.
When the aoc movie clip appears (fades in, whatever) I want each button to do
a little blink thing using the tint or alpha, etc.
Should I animate each instance of the button on the aoc timeline or should I
create another animation within the button that would cover the loaded
thumbnails and then fade out to let the thumbnails show through? It seems like
I would be doing the animation only once if it applied to the thumbnail
movieclip.
I guess the bottom line question is this: when using loadMovie(jpg), how do I
make the loaded image fade in instead of popping in right off the bat?
