fade

How do i tint the whole movie to white, or change to 0% alpha, over 10 frames from a button?
I want the whole movie to slowly change to white when i click a button, from the frame the movie is currently playing..

What's your experience level? Do you know how to use Action script?

Depends on how interactive the Flash Page is:
there are a few differnt methods to do this I will show Basic Basic Basic way to do it.

I will show you whats called "Frame by Frame Animation" for one button only.

create a new movie add 10 Key Frames
on Frame 1 and Frame 10 put a "stop action" (only frame 1 and 10).

create a "Button" (track as button) on Frame 1
right click it and where it says "Actions" paste code:

on (release) {
play();
}

Now click on Frame #2 (your button should be highlighted as well) go to the "Effects Tab" and set "Alpha" to 90%

Now click on Frame #3 (your button should be highlighted as well) go to the "Effects Tab" and set "Alpha" to 80%

Now click on Frame #4 (your button should be highlighted as well) go to the "Effects Tab" and set "Alpha" to 70%

Now click on Frame #5 (your button should be highlighted as well) go to the "Effects Tab" and set "Alpha" to 60%

Get the picture ?

Now click on Frame #10 (your button should be highlighted as well) go to the "Effects Tab" and set "Alpha" to 0%

You should know this is just Frame by Frame Animation and I am sure someone else will show you a better method.
With a name like Helpmenow You should recive alot of help :)

Good luck.

OR you can do that with Actionscript, because your method is quite long and as Supra would say, this is not reusable. I'll tell you how to trigger the fade with a button. It can pretty much anything else.
So create your clip, bla bla bla, put it on the scene and give it the instance name "myclip". Create a button and put it on the scene (NOT in the clip) and then right click it to open the Objects action panel. Write :

on (press) _root.check = 1 ;

Open the actions panel of your clip and write :

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_alpha > 0) {
if (_root.check == 1) {
_alpha -= 5 ;
}
}
}
This is not very reusable either, but I don't have the patience to make it a function.
