I’m new to the forums and to actionscript.  
I’ve been trying to get a simple fade out of a logo to work.  
I converted the logo to a movieclip called logo\_mc  
I click on the logo\_mc movieclip and insert this actionscript.

onClipEvent (load) {  
if (this.\_alpha\>0) {  
this.\_alpha -= 5;  
}  
}

I have also tried putting the code on the main timeline without any success.

If I understand correctly this should see if the alpha is greater than 0 and if it is it should decrease the value by five increments until it reaches 0.

Thanks for any help
