Whenever we apply a fade "action" to a movie clip (in this case to cause the clip to fade to alpha=65% for a URL rollover on-press), then the "in" event if it includes any type of fade (fade, mask reveals, etc.) will strobe once on load alpha=100%, then drop to 0% (the desired starting point) and then perform the correct "in" event. Is there a way to prevent this? We keep changing our designs to eliminate any fade oriented "in" animations so that we can produce the necessary rollover action, providing users with feedback that there is a clickable object on the stage. Along those lines, is it possible to add the useHandCursor = true function in Flash as an alternate way of indicating there is a link on stage?rnrnExample: http://216.122.130.180/extendstudio/swf_whitbycatering_600x480.swfrnrnYou'll see in this example the left and right photos as well as the text above them have this strobing issue. All four elements have url, on-press, "fade" alpha=65% "actions".rnrnThanks in advance for your help. Matt

Hello,

To use the hand cursor you can put the movie FX component inside a container movieclip. About that fade problem, i will discuss this with the development team and we will see if we can make some modifications to the effects to prevent that from happening.
