Hello all,  
Hopefully this is just a simple problem with my code.

I have a container on the stage. When the loaded clip gets to the last frame it triggers the decreaseAlpha() function on the root level. This fades the current container out and works fine.

However I also want it to load the next clip(which it does) and fade that clip in. This doesn’t work. It doesnt’ fade in, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!!

```auto

function decreaseAlpha(boxName, clipName){
	boxName.onEnterFrame = function(){
	if(boxName._alpha > 0){
		boxName._alpha -= 15;
	}if(boxName._alpha < 5){
		delete boxName.onEnterFrame;
		increaseAlpha(boxName, clipName);
	}
}
}
function increaseAlpha(boxName, clipName){
	loadMovie(clipName, boxName);
	boxName._alpha = 0;
	boxName.onEnterFrame = function(){
	if(boxName._alpha < 100){
		boxName._alpha += 15;
	}if(boxName._alpha == 100){
		delete subboxName.onEnterFrame;
	}
	}
}

```
