</div>

try

```auto

b1.onRollOver = function() {
    if((_alpha <= 100) || (_alpha >= 55)){
       this._alpha -= 7;
        }
   else{
        this._alpha = 100;}
}

```

double check my syntax, I may be missing a () or {} 😉

This may make the clip jump right to \_alpha = 100 once \_alpha goes below 55 (i.e. it won’t fade in, just fade out then suddenly 100). If you want it to fade back in then you should +=7 back up to 100.

your welcome mate 😉

don’t know too much about tellTarget. Read up on it in reference or post a new thread. Or better yet, do a thorough search THEN post a new thread . . .

[AS]  
b1.onRollOver = function() {  
if(!direction){  
direction = 1;  
}  
if((\_alpha \< 100) || (\_alpha \>= 55)){  
this.\_alpha += direction \* 7;  
}  
else{  
direction = -direction;  
}  
}  
[/AS]

That will make it fade out and then in

Hope it helps,  
Shawn

work your magic here Voets, I don’t have flash available right now to work this out. And you’re right I would need something that was called repeatedly, either enterframe or interval, oh well, sorry tom’s I don’t mean to drop the ball but I just don’t have the time today, if Voets doesn’t have it figured out by tomorrow I will give you a working solution.

And \*\*\*\* Voets born in '88 that makes you like six years younger than me and about 4 times smarter, I love the younger generation, smart so I don’t have to be. 🙂

Uhh… shouldn’t you just tell it to behave as a movie clip? I didn’t read this too thoroughly but that appears to be the problem…

That’s not fading in and out, that’s shrinking an growing. It is possible, let me work on an example fla for you.
