Is it possible to gradually increase the alpha of a movieclip using actionscript?

I’m trying to do a fade in , fade out effect and I was wondering if I could code it all rather than using multiple frames?

I was thinking of doing something like

mc.\_alpha = 0;  
mc.\_alpha ++;

but that doesn’t work, any suggestions or am I just dreaming?
