## I have this code on a button that tells a mc to play when the variable fade is active.

## this code is in the timeline

next\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (fade) {  
next\_mc.nextFrame();  
} else {  
next\_mc.prevFrame();  
}  
};

* * *

## on the button i have this code

on (rollOver) {  
\_root.fade = true;  
}  
on (rollOut, dragOut) {  
\_root.fade = false;  
}  
on (release) {  
nextFrame();  
play();  
}

* * *

What i want is to have multiple buttons use the fade variable, the only way i found to do this was to duplicte the timeline code everytime changing the name of the mc i want to target, and keeping the button code the same.

can i write it like this:

next\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
previous\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (fade) {  
next\_mc.nextFrame();  
previous\_mc.nextFrame();  
} else {  
next\_mc.prevFrame();  
previous\_mc.prevFrame();  
}  
};

or do i have to write this everytime:

next\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (fade) {  
next\_mc.nextFrame();  
} else {  
next\_mc.prevFrame();  
}  
};

previous\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (fade) {  
previous\_mc.nextFrame();  
} else {  
previous\_mc.prevFrame();  
}  
};

thanks to anyone who can simplify my fade in fade out code.
