How do I get my movies to be not transparant

[Sahi]

I want to load a movie from another movie. I want it to be on another layer. I can do all that no problem, but here comes the problem: the movie that is on top is transparant! I can see the movie underneath it. I don't want that.

Does anybody know how to prevent it?

A quick simple answer to this would be to use the retangle tool and cover the stage of the movie you want to load with a block shape the same colour as your background. This will prevent you from being able to see what's underneath the loaded movie. This, of course, will be the bottom layer of the movie so the contents will still be visable.

use the rectangle tool and draw a rectangle or square whatever it may be over the entire movie on the first layer..use it as your background..

next you'll be coming in how to cut of the buttons underneath..see ya then...

I'll just solve it by loading the movie on the same level then.

if you load the movie on level0 then ther will be no need to add the rectangle to take away the transparency..there will be nothing there to cover up..

to cut off the buttons underneath when you on(press) to load your movie with the same button, add the actions that will send the _root movie to a dummie frame where all the symbols and instances are the same only you deactivate the buttons so they doen't work..looks like the original timeline only a dummie frame..something like:

on (press) {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
loadMovieNum ("yourmovie.swf", 1);
}

Sahi, you could do that but beware that when you load (if you load) your main movie again it will start from the beginning. funkymonk B-)
