Bruce,

I suggest the following solution:

Create another MC with the text (MCtext) with an empty first keyframe

labelled park, your text in the second keyframe labelled start and

the same text some frames away with it's alpha set to zero.  Create a

motion tween between these last two. The number of frames in between

determine the speed of your fading.

Name an instance of MCtext MCtext_1


Now assign the following action to your button instance:

On (Press)

   Begin Tell Target ("/MCtext_1")

      Go to and Stop ("start")

   End Tell Target

End On

On (Release)

   Begin Tell Target ("/MCtext_1")

      Play

   End Tell Target

End On


This should do the trick provided that MCtext_1 is on the main

timeline and available.

http://www.moock.org has great tutorials.
