i have a series of movieclips(profileHolder) added in a loop from the library:

var profileholder:profileHolder = new profileHolder;

in that loop i also define the eventlistener for the over and out states. also inside each profileHolder movieclip there is another movieclip with an instance name of infoBtn. What i want to do is perform and action on infoBtn(set the alpha to 1) from the mouse over event listener of profileholder. here is what i’ve tried:

function profileholderOver(e:Event){  
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;  
//var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;  
[//item.infoBtn.alpha=1](https://item.infoBtn.alpha=1);  
}
