ok now I post.
Actually I never expected a great debate to come out of my little thread. But it's interesting to read about everyone's opinion.
HOllow, I don't think you are rude, you said that you will post the code when you get home and you did, that is real awesome. most people say things they don't mean!
thanks for everything.

oh, sorry kpl - i must have hit the 'b' key accidentally :-)
Okay, I found one article that states that tweening *adds* to the file size:
"Motion Tween, however, requires Flash to create in-between keyframes (even though you won't see them)."
- http://atl4.hostvelocity.com/~pr…---
But I found quite a few more that state tweening *reduces* file size:
"Tweening not only saves time but it reduces file size."
- http://www.mtsu.edu/~rnewman/wor…"As Flash creates the transitional animation from the first keyframe in the animation to the last, these frames do not take up additional space. They just change values. Only the Keyframe information is stored in the Movie."
- http://www.cuckoografik.org/teac…"A frame-by-frame animation has an image for every frame and it increases file size much more rapidly than tweened animation. In tweened animation, you create starting and ending frames, called keyframes, and let Flash create the frames in between."

hahhahaha..piperboytoy..ur comments r hilarious dude.. ;P
i wont comment on this one but :P
hey piper, how did that interview go??
- kpl0
mmm...
I always thought that the flash player never did the actual tweening, but instead when things are tweened, each and every frame is drawn out and specified. flash (authoring) does the tweening and writes it all out for flash player.
thus timeline tweens are larger in k size but faster to process since the cpu doesn't need to figure where to place things.
that would explain why when you import swf files, they never show tweening, just only a series of keyframes.
am I right or wrong?

i couldnt be bothered reading all the posts so this may have already been posted. Just make the fade-out movie clip and put this in the up state of the button. Is that what you mean?
- kpl0
agentfour: that has the added side-effect of the mc playing when the movie loads.
