So I have two questions that perhaps someone can help me with:
Q#1
I am using the tween class to change the alpha value of a MC upon rollOver and rollOut. To refine the effect, I assigned a variable to the MC’s alpha value so if the mouse moves off the MC before it has reached 100% alpha, it wont start immediatly fading from 100%, but from the value it had reached before the user stopped the rollOver action. Unfortunately, when I leave my mouse over the MC until it goes to 100%, and then I wait a second or two, the alpha snaps back to 50% (the starting alpha value). I can’t figure out why this keeps happening, but I have run into it with other projects and I surmise it is the way I am using the tween class. Below is the code I used to make this happen.
To see the problem, here is a link to the compiled file:

// image 1 Set 2
groupA.group2.image1.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie(“main_resized/1.jpg”, pictureHolder);
pictureHolder._xscale = 100;
pictureHolder._yscale = 100;
var alpha:Tween = new Tween(pictureHolder, “_alpha”, Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 5, true);
};
groupA.group2.image1.onRollOver = function () {
var g:Number = groupA.group2.image1._alpha;
var alphatween:Tween = new Tween(groupA.group2.image1, “_alpha”, Strong.easeOut, g, 100, 1, true);
}
groupA.group2.image1.onRollOut = function () {
var g:Number = groupA.group2.image1._alpha;
var alphatween:Tween = new Tween(groupA.group2.image1, “_alpha”, Strong.easeOut, g, 50, 8, true);
}
Q#2
Is there a way to loop through the instance names of similarly named movieclips? For instance, if I have 10 buttons with the instance name btn1 through btn9 and I want to change a certain property on all of them, is there a way I can substitute a variable for the number and use a for loop to cycle through them?
Thanks everyone :red:
