I modified senocular’s waitbuttonanimations fla which is basically 3 mbuttons that each play an mc. But when a button is pressed it waits untill the previous buttons mc plays its out animation before it plays its in animation.

Anyway, i modified this so that instead of an animation tween it does an alpha fade. Here it is: [www.s91931107.onlinehome.us/wait%20buttons2.swf](http://www.s91931107.onlinehome.us/wait%20buttons2.swf).

The only problem is that i used 3 onEnterFrame events that are constantly playing even when they are not needed. If someone could take a look at my fla (it should’nt take long to see how it works) and see if they can come up with a more efficient way then that would be great. Thanks!

on the enterframe use an if statement like if u did a fade out include this

if(this.\_alpha\>100){  
delete this.onEnterFrame  
}

But then what if i need the onEnterFrame event to start up again (like if the user clicks the button again.)
