I was wondering if you could help me out with :

on (press) {  
\_root.fade.gotoAndPlay(1)  
}

I am using this to load a movieclip on the press of the button. I can get the movieclip to fade in. But my question is how would I go about making it fade out. When either the button is pressed again, or another button on the menu is pressed?

I made my tween to fade it in and out. I have a stop on the first frame, and it stops again right before it fades out. I just need help with the actionscript part.

I do think he means ‘upload’ your .fla

Don’t download one… because we haven’t offered you one!

umm…the .fla won’t help you because it doesn’t work.

So i’ll try to explain it better:

Press a button, a movie clip fades into the center of the stage.

When you press the button again it fades out.

How would I go about doing that?

put a stop on the first frame of the movie, and a stop in the middle where it is faded in. After that have it fade back out. then instead of gotoAndPlay(); just use play();

</div>

So do this?

on (press) {  
\_root.fade.gotoAndPlay(1);  
play();

}

That won’t work…
