Hi there  
I have a button and I would like to add a movie clip for the “on mouse over” stage. However, I would like that movie clip to fade in from alpha 0% to alpha 100%.

Is there a way I can do this without having to touch the layers of the movie itself?

For example, can I put some actions on the “on mouse over” layer on the button rather than touching the movie clip?

Thank you!
