Hello all, n00b here with a question. I’m having trouble with fading a image in, then have it fade out. All I can accomplish is the fade in with out the fade out, or vice versa. Any help would be nice. Thanks!

Hello, n00b 😛
Hehe, sorry…couldn’t resist 😃
Well… here’s a Kirupa tutorial about fading in and out. It’s for text, though, but ought to work the same way!

If you can’t get it work…then attach your .fla here and I guess someone is kind enough to take a look at it. [size=1](I would, but I’m not using mx2004)

there is a totally easy way to make fading, create a mc with what you want to fade in and out, on it select Actions and write (or copy/paste ;))
>
onClipEvent(load){
fadespeed=10;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this.\_alpha+=fadespeed;
if(this.\_alpha\>=100||this.\_alpha\<=0)fadespeed\*=-1;
}
note: play with the fadespeed variable…
