Has anyone ever experienced a call to onEnterFrame not completing?

By this I mean, I am calling onEnterFrame on a picHolder movieclip. Inside the onEnterFrame I am fading in the image like:

\_root.currentHolder.picHolder.onEnterFrame = function() {  
trace(“in onenterframe”);  
if(\_root.currentHolder.picHolder.\_alpha \<100){  
\_root.currentHolder.picHolder.\_alpha +=10;  
}

};

The trace statement prints (only once) but the alpha doesn’t get incremented.  
What could be happening here?
