Hi,

I’m making a simple menu, and I was wondering how I could fade colors on an onRollOver event, and back on an onRollOut.  
When I mouseover, the bg of the menuitem-movieclips should _ease_ to the other color.  
I managed to do it with two overlapping movieClips and then changing the \_alpha values, but that just feels dirty 🙂

Thanks
