My wishes to Flash move for an awesome community. I am a New Media enthusiast and an Architect by profession.

While making my portfolio i am facing a few problems in As.
This is an image gallery. I have placed 4 holder-movie clips on stage, and 16 buttons get loaded into each dynamically.

my coding wont be as clean as yours, So plz bear..!!

Script for holder-movieclips is

Actionscript:

for (var i = 0; i<16; i++) {
	newThumb = this.attachMovie("th_bl", this._name+"-"+i, i);
	trace(this._name+"-"+i);
	newThumb._x = ((i%4)*16)-26;
	newThumb._y = (Math.floor(i/4)*16)-26;
}
this.hitArea = a_state;
stop();
this.onRollOver = function() {
	if (!selected) {
		for (var i = 1; i<6; i++) {
			var ax = "a"+i;
			_root[ax].selected = false;
			trace(_root[ax]._xscale);
			_root[ax]._xscale = _root[ax]._yscale=75;
			_root[ax].gotoAndPlay("out");
			_root[ax]._alpha = 50;
		}
		selected = true;
		this._alpha = 100;
		this.onEnterFrame = function() {
			//if (this._xscale<199) {
			this._xscale += (200-(this._xscale))/4;
			this._yscale += (200-(this._yscale))/4;
			//} else
			if (this._xscale>199) {
				this._xscale = this._yscale=200;
				delete this.onEnterFrame;
			}
		};
	}
	//gotoAndPlay("over");
};
//----------------------Define rollout
this.onRollOut = this.onDragOut=function () {
	for (var i = 1; i<6; i++) {
		var ax = "a"+i;
		_root[ax]._alpha = 100;
		_root[ax].selected = false;
		_root[ax]._xscale = _root[ax]._yscale=100;
		_root[ax].onEnterFrame = function() {
			if (_root[ax]._xscale<199) {
				_root[ax]._xscale += (200-(_root[ax]._xscale))/4;
				_root[ax]._yscale += (200-(_root[ax]._yscale))/4;
			} else if (_root[ax]._xscale>199) {
				_root[ax]._xscale = this._yscale=200;
				delete _root[ax].onEnterFrame;
			}
		};
	}
};

The AS for the buttons is

Actionscript:

stop();
//----------------------Define release
this.onRelease = function() {
	if (!selected) {
		for (var a = 1; a<5; a++) {
			newSet = _root["a"+a];
			//trace (newset);
			for (var clip in newSet) {
				newSet[clip].gotoAndStop("out");
				newSet[clip].selected = false;
				newSet[clip].useHandCursor = true;
			}
		}
		state_mc.gotoAndStop("visited");
		selected = true;
		this.useHandCursor = false;
		// create place holder movie clip
		_root.createEmptyMovieClip("PH_mc", 0);
		// create mc that image is loaded into
		_root.PH_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc", 0);
		// create mc that has enterFrame event the constantly checks the status of
		// the image download and alpha
		_root.PH_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("updater_mc", 1);
		// load image into the image_mc
		_root.PH_mc.image_mc.loadMovie("images/"+this._name+".jpg");
		// set initial alpha of image_mc to zero
		_root.PH_mc.image_mc._alpha = 0;
		alph = 0;
		_root.PH_mc.image_mc._alpha = alph;
		_root.PH_mc.updater_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
			_root.PH_mc.image_mc._x = 100;
			_root.PH_mc.image_mc._y = 100;
			alph = alph+20;
			_root.PH_mc.image_mc._alpha = alph;
			if (alph>100) {
				alph = 100;
				delete this.onEnterFrame;
			}
		};
		//_parent.content_mc.loadMovie("images/"+_imgLoad+".jpg");
		gotoAndStop("selected");
	}
};
//----------------------Define rollover
this.onRollOver = function() {
	if (!selected) {
		_parent.a_state.gotoAndStop (this._name);
		gotoAndStop("over");
		trace(this._name);
		//state_mc.gotoAndStop(this._name);
	}
};
//----------------------Define rollout
this.onRollOut = this.onDragOut=function () {
	if (!selected) {
		gotoAndStop("out");
	}
};
//----------------------Define Mousedown	
this.onPress = function() {
	if (!selected) {
		gotoAndStop("down");
	}
};

if i remove any interactivity(rollovers) from holderclips, the buttons wrok perfect.

Also i would like to fade images into each other, i saw a few scripts but could not see any for dynamic loading of images.

thanks a lot in advance..
