how do i fade a mc, on when rollover a button then make it come back on rollout

i used this....
// on button
on (rollOver) {
_root.fade = true;
}

//on mc
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.fade && this._alpha>0) {
}
this._alpha -= 5;
}



but when the mc appears it fade straight away, n not when rolled over, i know that is due to the onClipEvent (enterFrame) {, but i dunno wat else to put instead

any help?

I think I'd go this way..

the movie clip should have this.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (_root.fade=true&&this._alpha>0){
this._alpha--;
}else if (this._alpha<100){
this._alpha++;
}
}

Then on the button have this

on(rollOver){
_root.fade=true;
}
on(rollOut){
_root.fade=false;
}

what is the ms?

[gezzus234]

ummm

like 4 secs

[upuaut8]

no I mean.. what is "ms".. I know not that term :)

[upuaut8]

Sorry I was off

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (_root.fade==true&&this._alpha>0){
this._alpha--;
}else if (this._alpha<100){
this._alpha++;
}
}

The == is used for comparison. If we use only one = then it actually sets the fade to true, instead of comparing it.

when i play the mc again

it doesnt work, like doesnt show
as in i think i might still be at _alpha 0

Well.. I made test for this script and it worked for me. I'll send that one to you if you provide me an email.
