Playing MC from hitTest result

[Craig Paterson]

Hi all,


I know that someone out there will be able to help me with this one.

I have 2 MC's, one called "line" and the other "mc1". mc1 contains a

piece of text fading in from orange to white and then back again, I have

stop actions for the first frame, middle frame and then a go to frame 1

and stop action in the last frame. I have set up the labels "fadeIn" &

"fadeOut". Following me so far? OK.


Next I have the MC "line" following the cursor horizontally acrross the

stage. What I want to be able to do is have the text in "mc1" fade in

when the line touches it, and fade out when it exits the "mc1". What it

does at the moment is go from the solid orange to the solid white,

but does not play the tweens.


Here is the code I'm using  (I'm pretty new to F5) :-


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	_root.line._x = _root._xmouse;

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	if (this.hitTest (_root.mc1)) _root.mc1.gotoAndPlay ("fadeOut");

	else _root.mc1.gotoAndPlay ("fadeIn");

}


Reply to me off list if you would like me to send the .fla


Thanks for your help in advance,


cheers,


Craig
