Sup guys…its been a while since I’ve last posted…during the summer I haven’t had much time to work with flash…been doing a lot of print work. I just have a quick question that can probably be answered very easily…I’m a little rusty so bare with me…

ok…I have a movie clip, I want faded out on rollover…

**on (rollover) {  
this.play();  
}**

ok…so I got that…and on rollout I want it to fade back to the original state…

**on (rollOut) {  
this.play();  
}**

It works alright, however, if you move the mouse over it quickly it gets stuck in rollover state. Any suggestions??

\*\*I posted my .fla just in case I didn’t explain it well enough.

🙂
