I want to make a site that is all flash. I was told that the best way to do it is by making different movies and linking them together with Frames. But I would like to know if anyone knows how I would get the pages to fade in and out going to the other movies? Like have one page fade in and if you hit a button in the other movie to link them together, the page that faded in would fade out and another one would fade in. I tryed making one big flash movie but it didn't want to work right. Any suggestions?

hi
When you load in movies, as you know, they come in on a separate layer. All you would have to do is create an alpha tween say in the last ten frames of your movie, giving the first frame of the tween a label, say "out".
Make your second movie, with a tween at the start (for loading in) and at the end (for unloading). Label the starts of the tweens.
When you want to move between movies, just use the actions to go to the "out" frame when the new movie is loaded. In the loading movie, create an invisible preloader which makes sure that the movie doesn't start until it is fully loaded. This prevents the timing of the "out" and "in" tweens being mismatched.
Worth a go.

Who the hell told you to use frames kid?
I'm still working on my tutorial... But not there yet!
Hope I get to finish it before Dave cooks one up! If he's not done it and posted it up already!
Will keep you informed!

That is what I want, but how do you do that? I downloaded the samples to see, but I can't figure out what actions I need to put on the buttons to get the movie to fade out while the other fades in. On yours (which by the Thanks) you don't have any actions on the button that I could see. Also it said in the object window:
Automatic conversion performed to update your ActionScript to Flash 5:
* The old equality operator '=' was converted to '=='
Automatic conversion performed to update your ActionScript to Flash 5:
* x op y was converted to Number(x) op Number
for operators +, <, >, <=, >=, =, and <>
I take it that your not useing flash 5. Should I go out and see if I can find an older version of flash? I knew that I got in over my head when I bought this....
I just want to make sure. I make 1 movie and have all the pages in defferent movies. In each movie I have a 4 second emtpy gap in the front, get each movie to fade in & put a "stop ();" action at the full view. Then get the buttons to link to each one right??? I tryed making one movie and have all the pages in that one movie. It's here:
