\_root.drew.\_visible =false;

</div>

how would i write this code

```
if (_root.drew._alpha=100) {
	_root.drew.onEnterFrame = function() {
		_root.drew._alpha -= 15;
	};
} else {
	delete _root.drew.onEnterFrame;
}

```

to use it on a frame with a fade in on entry of a frame that is loadign a external swf and then have it fade out when leaving the frame?

THANKS! 🙂
