the situation:

i have to dynamically generate a movie clip

inside the already created movie clip i have two event controllers which ( SHOULD) set the _alpha state of two instances( which happen to be 2 diff key frames of one animation sequence

turns out im unable to get anything to happen with either one of the instances -- the variables which control the MC are accessible to the function b/c a trace(var); statment will trace the correct value -- but the movie clip wont set its _alpha to that passed value.


any suggestions???

that is correct

the trace statement is directly above the _alpha assignment statement

the newer post i just put up is a little less convoluted -- so it might make a little more sence

do the movieclips exist at the time you're trying to assign their alpha? ie, a trace() statement, next to your (attempted) alpha assignement, successfully traces the movieclip path/names?
