I’ve searched and searched for this, but couldn’t find it… I have the following code (thanks to a post from a few years ago on here),

```auto
MovieClip.prototype.Increment = function(maxAlpha, speed) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha += speed;
if (this._alpha>=maxAlpha) {
this._alpha = maxAlpha;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
with (clip) {
_alpha = 0;
Increment(100,4);
}

```

but I have a question…

What I want to do is fade in a MC, then say 5 seconds later, fade in another, and then another 5 seconds after THAT, fade in a third, so on…Can anyone tell me how to achieve this w/ AS?

PS-I know how to do it w/ motion tweens, but I really would like to do this w/ AS.
