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
