I would tell you this would be the perfect case to move away from the timeline instead of managing frames, but that's a whole other huge discussion on OOP development in AS3. But something to consider if you are up for it.

Code: function changeFrame(e):void { if (_txt){ new GTween(_txt, 0.3 ,{alpha:0}); } var timer:Timer = new Timer(300, 1); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, function(){ e.target.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateFrame); gotoAndStop(e.target.frameLink); }); timer.start(); } function updateFrame(e:Event):void { if (_txt){ _txt.alpha =0; new GTween(_txt, fadeDuration ,{alpha:1}); } e.target.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateFrame); timer.reset(); } problem: when it changes frame, the actual movieclip or textfield will be there with alpha 1. so it blinks, between the two alpha animations. conditions: the fade should function with many movieclips, some of which won't exist in every frame, that's why the verification ( if (!_txt)... ) But for the moment I'm doing it like this. I surely don't want to write scripts in every frame, so that's the reason I wrote the code like this. And anyway, I somehow feel that I shouldn't do it that way. What do you people think about it ?
