Hi

I have a “strange” problem with a fade function, which I hope someone here can help me solve?!

My Function looks like this:

function fadeIn() {  
mcBack.onEnterFrame = function() {  
mcBack.\_alpha += 10;  
};  
if (mcBack.\_alpha \>= 100) {  
delete mcBack.onEnterFrame;  
trace(“deleted”);  
}  
}

I want to be able to delete the function, when \_alpha is 100 - but as the function is now, I am not able get the trace(“deleted”) to work… Am I going about this in the wrong way??

Thanks in advance 🙂
