Alpha fade on mouseover

1

would anyone know the AS way to make a button fade from say 40% alpha to 100% when the mouse rolls over it?
thx!

Put this on a Movie Clip (yes, MX allows Movie Clips to be used as buttons, which totally rocks!)…

onClipEvent (load) {
	this._alpha = 40;
}
on (rollOver) {
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		this._alpha += 5;
		if (this._alpha>=100) {
			this._alpha = 100;
			delete this.onEnterFrame;
		}
	};
}
on (rollOut) {
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		this._alpha -= 5;
		if (this._alpha<=40) {
			this._alpha = 40;
			delete this.onEnterFrame;
		}
	};
}

wow thx that did the trick. btw, how would i make the mc go somewhere on release? i tried adding some simple code but it did not work.

Same way as on a button…

on (release){
_root.clip.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

For example.
Just put that at the end of all the other code.

Just like on any button.

No problem. In the future you will find that using movie clips as buttons is SOOO much better than using buttons… as … buttons…LOL.
