Can you enlighten me as to what an alpha fade is?
As far as tinting goes....the background movie is a scene with trees and water and the screens are an opaque yellow so you can see a bit of the trees etc......so I'm not sure if I could tint yellow evenly so it fades out nicely to all the colours in the background.....or am I not understanding tinting?? (I assume you mean to change the tint of the yellow until it matches the background....problem is the background is multi-coloured)

ah ok!
well alpha + gradients is a killer :)
taking out the gradients would help loads - even it meant adding more
non-gradient alpha movieclips to create the required effect.
also if u can - dont have the screens as alpha fades - instead tint the
background movie the same colour as the background
