I’ve created a simple menu that fades in with a key press and fades out on releasing the keypress. It seems to be working but it only works once. If I press again - nothing happens. Can anyone help? Please? I’ve uploaded the file.

You solve it - I bring marshmallows! No, I make joke - you like laugh?

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_root.menuin.\_alpha = 0;  
}  
onClipEvent (keyDown) {  
if (Key.isDown(32)) {  
\_root.menuin.\_alpha += 10;  
}  
}  
onClipEvent (keyUp) {  
\_root.menuin.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (\_root.menuin.\_alpha\>0) {  
\_root.menuin.\_alpha -= 10;  
}  
};  
}
