Hey Guys, I need help with something real click…

I made a movie clip and a button, when I click on the button I want the movie clip to fade out. I did the tweening for the clip and gave it an instance name, but I can’t remember what action script I used to play a movie clip. So how would I get the movie clip to play by clicking on the button?

If it is just a tween this is simple…

[AS]on (release){  
movieClipInstanceName.play();  
}[/AS]

Theres also an AS way 😉

the actionscript way 🙂

```auto
on (release) {
	mymovieclip.onEnterFrame = function() {
		(this._alpha<1) ? delete this.onEnterFrame : this._alpha--;
	};
}

```
