I have just completed my first Flash 8 movie, named chameleon, which is a simple loop tween. I have made an invisible button the size of the image area so a user can click the image to stop it, and toggle click re-start to continue.  
A generous As Guru gave me this script which works fine:

click\_btn.onRelease=function(){  
if(!this.toggle){  
chameleon.stop();  
} else {  
chameleon.play();  
}  
this.toggle=!this.toggle;  
}

Now I want to have the stopped movie image slowly fade to -alpha zero over the span of 10 seconds, then instantly reappear in full colour when click started (100%-alpha).

I have scoured my Flash 8 Savvy book but am finding the learning curve too steep. Can anyone help me with the code to modify this AS to include the 10 seconds fade and re-start please.
