[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Hi There,[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]If someone could help me with this problem that would be great.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Inside a mc on the first frame I have put the following alpha AS fade in;[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=red][FONT=Verdana]this.\_alpha=0;  
this.fader=1;[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=red][FONT=Verdana]this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
if (this.fader==1){  
this.\_alpha+=6;  
if (this.\_alpha\>=100){  
this.fader=0;  
}  
}else if (this.fader==2){  
this.\_alpha-=6;  
if (this.\_alpha\<=0){  
this.fader=0;  
}  
}  
}[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]On the very last frame I would like it to fade out so I thought I would reverse the code?[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=red][FONT=Verdana]this.\_alpha=100;  
this.fader=2;[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=red][FONT=Verdana]this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
if (this.fader==1){  
this.\_alpha+=6;  
if (this.\_alpha\>=0){  
this.fader=0;  
}  
}else if (this.fader==2){  
this.\_alpha-=6;  
if (this.\_alpha\<=0){  
this.fader=0;  
}  
}  
}[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]But this last bit of code gets totally ignored and it doesn’t fade out. I know it works because I have tested it in the first frame. Does the last bit of code in the first frame set the alpha for the rest of the mc and override anything else? [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana][/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Cheers for any help? (new to AS)[/FONT][/COLOR]
