would it be too wrong!?

[lonelyplanetwanderer]

frame 1: base/background movie
....roll on to frame10: loadmovie @ level 1 with setproperty alpha = 60
........roll on to frame20: loadmovie @ level 2 with setproperty alpha = 40
.............roll on to frame30: loadmovie @ level 3 with setproperty alpha = 20

i want to be able to see the BackGround movies too to get that motion trail effect...the movie plays and the various movies do get loaded but i don't see anything behind them!...where am i going wrong?

I don't know if you can set the _alpha of a level, try to do the same thing ; not with loadMovieNum for a level, but with loadMovie into an empty target clip, then attach an onClipEvent (data), this._alpha = 60 to it, so the property change gets executed only when the content is fully loaded in.
