A conceptual inquiry:

I’m planning on creating a slideshow with cross-fades.

I’ll be placing this as a .swf (as a movie clip) in another .fla .

I’d like to be able to click a button in this new .fla and have the slide-show MC fade out independently of where this MC is in _its_ timeline.

I’d also like to be able to do this on _one_ frame (i.e., without having to add extra frames/outtros).

Since I’m basing this on a click of a button, I’m assuming I can’t use an onClipEvent (enterFrame) {} as a loop for this.

Is there AS that will somewhat slowly, smoothly change the alpha on an MC or is there a way to create a loop that won’t run so quickly as to “snap” the alpha from 100% to 0% faster than the eye can see?
