Fading a movieclip using ENTER_FRAME

1

Hi there,

I’m sure this is really obvious but I am trying to fade out a mc using ENTER_FRAME but not getting anywhere, here is the code I have so far:

teaPotMC.alpha = 0;

teaPotMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, beginPour);

function beginPour(evt:Event):void {
    if(teaPotMC.alpha > 100){
        teaPotMC.alpha += 10;
    } else {
        teaPotMC.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, beginPour);
        
    }
}

the trouble is that when i set a trace going it seems to be increasing the alpha, but the actual mc does not set itself to 0 it stays at 100%

What am i doing wrong?

Cheers,

Bob
