dynamic transitions

[ivraditz]

I am trying to figure out how to make the transitions between movie clips smooth. For example, a user clicks the about button which takes them to the about section. Next they click the portfolio button which plays the "exit" part of the about mc before moving to the portfolio mc. I have been trying to do this with conditionals, and all those if statements are getting crazy, never mind that it's not working...
I apologize if this if covered in another post, I didn't find anything. I would really appreciate a push in the right direction, are conditionals the way to go? Maybe I'm just not setting them up correctly.

Thanks much,

Ivan
