What did i just do? fade effect

1

i nwas just playing around with the fading grid effect when i somehow made the thing have a memory.
First thing i did was of course create a grid covering the whole stage but instead of running the fade function from the timeline i placed a rollover function on the original square
(oh by the way the grid occurs within a movie clip called mbox)
within mbox that would decrease its alpha by 50 per frame
however after a while the boxes that faded start reappearing in the same order as they originally appeared
maybe my Flash is messed or my computer (i doubt) or i did a cool effect by mistake
anyway i am attaching the .fla for u to see whats wrong(or rather whats right) with it its called memory.fla
any help is appreciated coz i would like to repeat this again

Well, this is whats happening, you are assigning an onEnterFrame event to the box like this


_root.mbox["box"+mcnr].onEnterFrame = function() {
		_root.mbox.box._alpha -= speed*2
		_root.mbox["box"+mcnr]._alpha -= speed;
		if (_root.mbox["box"+mcnr]._alpha<=smoothness) {
			_root.mbox["box"+mcnr].onEnterFrame = null;
			continueFade(_root.mbox["box"+mcnr], speed);
			mcnr += 1;
			fadeOut(mcnr, speed);
		}

and it just keeps subtracting the alpha until you go over the minimum alpha, and then the box pops back into visablity. I would check your code for removing the onEnterFrame event or something.
