Hi  
I really can’t work out why this isn’t working  
Once i take the tween out of the function it works  
[AS]  
container.alpha = 0;

container.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, tweenUp);  
function tweenUp(evt:Event) {  
if (folder.currentFrame == 11) {

tweenInGallery()

}  
}  
function tweenInGallery() {  
var alphaTween:Tween = new Tween(container, “alpha”, None.easeInOut, 0, 1, 5, true);  
}  
[/AS]
