Hi Skye


Setup a movie like this,


fishPond (movie clip)

    |

    |

    Button

    fish (movie clip)

         

// script for button which is inside fishPond MC

on (release) {

	_root.fishPond.reduceAlpha = 1;

}


--------------------------------

//script for fish MC which is inside fishPond

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

	if (_parent.reduceAlpha == 1) {

		this._alpha = this._alpha -1;

	}

}


then run the movie, click on the button.. watch the

fish reducing its alpha...Good luck


regards

Ramesh C T
