I think I’d go this way…\r\rthe movie clip should have this.\r\ronClipEvent(enterFrame){\r if (\_root.fade=true&&this.\_alpha\>0){\r this.\_alpha–;\r }else if (this.\_alpha\<100){\r this.\_alpha++;\r }\r}\r\rThen on the button have this\r\ron(rollOver){\r \_root.fade=true;\r}\ron(rollOut){\r \_root.fade=false;\r}

Sorry I was off\r\ronClipEvent(enterFrame){\rif (\_root.fade==true&&this.\_alpha\>0){\rthis.\_alpha–;\r}else if (this.\_alpha\<100){\rthis.\_alpha++;\r}\r}\r\rThe == is used for comparison. If we use only one = then it actually sets the fade to true, instead of comparing it.
