```auto

import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var _old:Event = e.currentTarget;
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function _fade_action (evt:MouseEvent):void {
 var _new:Event = e.currentTarget;
 var _tween_out:Tween = new Tween(_old,"Alpha",Strong.easeOut,1,0,1.true);
 var _tween_in:Tween = new Tween(_new,"Alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,2,true);
 _old = _new;
   }

```

Why doesn’t that work … to fade out old target and fade in new one ?

Thanks in advance
