FLASH: fading a target using actionscript

[simon mills]

Hi all,


I'm having a problem trying to use actionscript to fade a target animations

alpha.


Basically what I want is when I rollover a button I want an animation (my

target) to fade. Now the script below, a simple loop,  works but works so

fast that the fade is too quick to see. I've tried making the degree that

the x variable is diminshed each loop even smaller than 0.05 but this brings

up an error.




On (Roll Over)

      Set Variable: "x" = "100"

      Loop While (x>10)

            Set Variable: "x" =  x - 0.05

            Set Property ("/ontv", Alpha) = x

      End Loop

End On



What I would like to know is if this is possible and how. The reason I

didn't just but the fade out in a button was that I want the target to fade

out to work for each of several buttons.


Hope this makes sense,


Simon Mills
