```auto
// prototype
MovieClip.prototype.fade = function(minAlpha, maxAlpha, speed) {
	this._alpha = this.alpha=minAlpha;
	this.onRollOver = function() {
		this.alpha = maxAlpha;
	};
	this.onRollOut = function() {
		this.alpha = minAlpha;
	};
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		this._alpha += (this.alpha-this._alpha)/speed;
	};
};
// usage
myMovieClip.fade(40, 100, 10);

```

of course, you can change the the minAlpha, maxAlpha and speed values to anything you want 😉 =)

Well, I was trying to encourage you to fish. Kax gave you the fish buffet.

I’m glad you got your answer, but if you want to reach these conclusions on your own, I would still encourage you to start with the turorials.
