I have my parent MC instance name “legend”- within the MC I have a button “info\_btn”

I want the MC “legend” to start with alpha value 10. Then when you rollover the MC legend it fades into 100. Then when I rollover the MC info\_btn it makes over\_mc appear.

I am a newbie, why doesn’t his code work?:

```auto
#include "lmc_tween.as"

legend._alpha = 10;
legend.useHandCursor = false
legend.over_mc._visible = false;

legend.info_btn.onRollOverHandler = function(){
	legend.over_mc._visible = true;
}

legend.info_btn.onRollOutHandler = function (){
	legend.over_mc._visible = false;
	
}
// delegate to all children
legend.onRollOver = function(){
	onRollOverHandler();
	legend.alphaTo(100,1.5);
	
}

legend.onRollOut = function(){
	onRollOutHandler();
	legend.alphaTo(10,1.5);
	
}

```
