Hi Ramesh,
What I had done a while back was make something like the color balance tool
that Photoshop provides. You could control the RGB percentage of an image
by dragging sliders around. Might've had worked for you, if I had the file

How about, for example:

You could make two film loops, with one being the fade-out
animation. Then, when you click it, simply swap out the
cast member with the fade out film loop.

ie. your first Q.
in a movie script put this:

Then on a keyDown script you can process the events (key pressed)
by issueing a stopEvent command
Example follows:

Off the (very) top of my head!
Could something like this work?
Make a 'blend' from 0 to 100 of the background and put it in a loop.
Using a dummy sprite in front of your animation you can then
toggle the visibility of your fade.
Just a crazy idea. Totally untested andperhaps even ..shhhsh!

Hi Colby
You need to include the QT3Asset Xtra either within the projector or in a
folder called Xtras sitting next to the projector. In Shockwave, you would
need to ensure the download if needed box is checked under
