Hi all

I’m looking for a simple way increase the alpha of an object, but then stop it before it gets to 100  
I was thinking somehting like

```auto
two_mc._alpha = 0;
one_btn.onRelease = function() {
     _root.onEnterFrame = function() {
          two_mc._alpha += 10;
          if (this._alpha == 50) {
               this._alpha = 50;
               delete this.onEnterFrame;
          }
     };
};

```

two\_mc is a movieClip, I want to increase its alpha but stop it when it gets to 50  
I’m sure its simple, but I tryed a few methods without any results.
