I A M L O S I N G M Y M I N D . . .

I've been trying to figure this effect out for three hours.

The link below shows a tutorial that involves three similar alpha effects. I'm only concerned with the first one, the "alpha state change". It can look really cool when implemented .

It looks fairly easy to figure out. When you download the .fla, you can pretty much take everything apart and see how it is done.

I swear I have a file that I've created (strictly out of pure enjoyment with a twist of challenge) that is identical in every way to the tutorial. Nothing I do WORKS! I think I've tried everything, except pester our good friends here on the Flash Forum forsome help.

Here's the link: http://www.virtual-fx.net/tutorials/html/proximity.htm
If you'd like, I can email you my file. That's if you like to solve puzzles.

my email is spacerocket@earthlink.net

I'm using flash 5

cheers,
Jen
