ok - I have a listner set up with a mouse event so when i move my mouse over an area, a MC fades in.

problem is, it behaves erratically, sometimes i have to keep my mouse over the area for a few seconds before it finally fades in, but sometimes it fades in quickly (as intended)

i have other animations going on in the _root timeline, would this hender the mouse listener?

thank you

yes, there are times when both fadeIn() and fadeOut() are being called repeatedly and sequentially. when one loop executes, the other should be stopped.

one more time, thanks again kglad,

though i dont really get how the code is working, i placed:

myListener.onMouseMove = function() {
if (aHitArea.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
fadeOut();
delete fadeIn();
} else {
fadeIn();
delete fadeOut();
}
};

and it is giving me what i want.
