//I would like that the movie clip “resu\_mc”  
be with \_alpha = 100 after the movie clip  
“mask\_mc” has the height 700.  
//I trieded the code bellow and it’s nothing working. the \_alpha continuos zero.  
//Thanx in advance.

mask\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (mask\_mc.\_width \< 900) {  
mask\_mc.\_width += 50;  
}else{  
if (mask\_mc.\_height \< 700)  
mask\_mc.\_height += 50;

You should use the AS tags next time 🙂 but from what i can see so far, i don’t think you should do \<900 and \<700, because it would be confusing :-\ I also see you are using getProperty which is old and everything. You should change that to:

dm = \_root.mask\_mc.\_height

and i do’nt think you need Number(dm). Just use dm…

That should be it 🙂

ok i’ll try and write it all out for you since what i said might have been confusin 🙂 I don’t know if this will solve the problem though, it should…

[AS]  
mask\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (mask\_mc.\_width \< 900) {  
mask\_mc.\_width += 50;  
}  
}  
resu\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
dm = \_root.mask\_mc.\_height  
if (dm \> 700) {  
resu\_mc.\_alpha = 100;  
}  
}  
[/AS]

That should work, havn’t tested it though. You havta make sure mask\_mc is on \_root, or else you have to change the code a bit 🙂
