Put the button in a movie clip. Then use the \_alpha property.

Lost just showed me this, apply this to your button.

```auto
on (release) {
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		//if the alpha is greater than 0, decrease by 10, else delete the onEnterFrame
		this._alpha>0 ? this._alpha -= 10 : delete this.onEnterFrame;
	};
}

```
