Hey all,

I want to change the alpha of a thumbnail after it has been pressed, to indicate that the user has clicked it.

However, I also am changing the alpha when the user hovers over it and On Mouse Out. I’ve tired this:  
[AS]on (press){  
this.\_alpha -= 50;  
}  
[/AS]

What seems to happen here is that if the user clicks on it again, it can’t be seen.

A problem with the below code it, On Mouse over, it fades it by 50. Then, On Click, it disappears. Then, on mouse out, it fades back to 100.

[AS]on (press){  
this.\_alpha -= 50;  
}

onClipEvent (load) {  
this.\_alpha = 100;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
function fadeOut() {  
if (this.\_alpha\>50) {  
this.\_alpha -= 50;  
} else {  
this.onEnterFrame = null;  
}  
}  
function fadeIn() {  
if (this.\_alpha\<100) {  
this.\_alpha += 50;  
} else {  
this.onEnterFrame = null;  
}  
}  
this.onRollOver = function() {  
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;  
};  
this.onRollOut = function() {  
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;  
};

}[/AS]

Thanks for your help. I’d be shagged if it wasn’t for this forum, you are a great help. I appreciate every reply,

Cheers,
