Can anyone tell me whats wrong with this code. The nav\_mc is set up to fadeOut when the frame is entered…which works. but when nav\_mc leaves the the frame the nav\_mc is not visible anymore.

```auto
 nav_mc.[color=#000087]_alpha[/color] = 100;
nav_mc._fadeDirection = [color=#993300]false[/color];
nav_mc.[color=#000087]onEnterFrame[/color] = [color=#993300]function[/color]() {
	 [color=#993300]if[/color] ([color=#000087]this[/color]._fadeDirection == [color=#993300]false[/color]) {
		 [color=#993300]if[/color] ([color=#000087]this[/color].[color=#000087]_alpha[/color]>0) {
			 [color=#000087]this[/color].[color=#000087]_alpha[/color] -= 5;
		 } [color=#993300]else[/color] {
			 [color=#000087]this[/color].[color=#000087]onEnterFrame[/color] = [color=#993300]null[/color];
			 [color=#000087]this[/color].[color=#000087]removeMovieClip[/color]();
		 }
	 } [color=#993300]else[/color] {
		 ([color=#000087]this[/color]._fadeDirection == [color=#993300]true[/color])
		 [color=#993300]if[/color] ([color=#000087]this[/color].[color=#000087]_alpha[/color]<100) {
			 [color=#000087]this[/color].[color=#000087]_alpha[/color] += 5;
		 } [color=#993300]else[/color] {
			 [color=#000087]this[/color].[color=#000087]onEnterFrame[/color] = [color=#993300]null[/color];
			 [color=#000087]this[/color].[color=#000087]removeMovieClip[/color]();
		 }

```
