Well its been a while since I used flash but... What I have is a movie clip consisting of one frame. THe action layer is stop(), the second layer is the graphics/MCs i want to alpha (I wanted to use just graphics here but needed to make them MC in order to name the instances, correct?). The third layer is a controller with the following...

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.d001._alpha = 0;
_root.d002._alpha = 0;
_root.d003._alpha = 0;
_root.d004._alpha = 0;
_root.d005._alpha = 0;
_root.d006._alpha = 0;

}


Now when I test the scene for this it works. When I drop it into the main timeline? The alphas are bypassed or something. Not working. full 100%... I have been playing with this for two nights now and I am just really needing help.

Thanks, Rich

Seems to me you don't want a _root there. Because _root tells Flash to look from the main timeline, but you said it should be from within the MC. So, just use:

d001._alpha = 0; instead of _root.d001._alpha = 0;
likewise with the rest.
