I am trying to make a bunch of thumbnails all load a seperate movie clip when pressed. I made the movie clip an image fading in from frame 1-10 and out from 11-20, and stop action at 1,10,and20. the button I tried to use an if then statement. if onn=2 then play(11) else if onn=3 play(2), and i made the variable onn change at position 10 and 20 in my movie, to recognize if it is visible or not.

I want the image(movie) to fade in when you click it, and then fade out when you click it again. what is the best way to do this and what am i doing wrong, i am able to get it all to work except for the fade out part, it just dissapears or stays there. thanks.
