pic\_place.\_alpha = 0; [COLOR=“Red”]\<–(The picture is loaded into pic\_place)-alpha = 0[/COLOR]

if (pic\_place.\_alpha\<100) {

if anyone is interested here is a way to do it:) :

pic.place.\_alpha = 0;  
setInterval (fade, 500);[COLOR=“Red”](the function, every what period of time to recall the function)[/COLOR]

function fade() {  
if (pic\_place.\_alpha\<100) {  
pic\_place.\_alpha += 10;  
}  
else {  
clearInterval;  
}

}
