I’m loading a txt file that I use to load jpg’s(no PHP):

```php
<a href="asfunction:_global.loadMovie,flag_1.jpg">flag 1
</font></a>

```

It works lik a charm, but now I want the “container” to fade in  
the jpg’s.

```auto
_global.loadMovie = function(url) {
    container.loadMovie(url);
    fadein();
};
function fadein() {
    container._alpha = 3;
    container.onEnterFrame = function() {
        this._alpha += 12;
        if (this._alpha>=100) {
            this._alpha = 100;
        }
    };
}

```

The container fades in, but not 100% \_alpha(about 40% I guess)!  
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
