Is there a way to add an swf file to a timeline and have it fade in with an opacity while it is already playing? I tried creating a symbol adding a loadmovie code to the symbole timeline, and then adding the symbol to main timeline...but this did not work...it did not fade it at all, or play.

I also tried just adding the swf to the main time line and adjusting the opcity like this, but the movie would not play at all...I think there needs some code to get the movie playing...I dont want the movie to be static while it fades in, I want the movie to already be playing while it fades in.

you can load the swf into an empty movie that set to _alpha 0 via actionscript. when the movie finish loading...begin to increase the _alpha gradually.

Or you can create an empty movie clip (manually) and import the swf file in that empty movie clip.
