So I have six movie clips. When you rollover one I want the other five to fade out. this code that I did works but it has a potential to break with quick strokes. Any help would be great thanks. I also have a button surrounding the six clips that fade all back up. The reason for that is while they are going from clip to clip i dont want them to fade in a out.

Thanks alot everyone.

------And here is my code-------

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

function fadeOut(mc) {
var begin = 100;
var end = 25;
var time = .1;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(mc, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, begin , end , time , true);
}

function fadeIn(mc) {
var begin = 25;
var end = 100;
var time = .1;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(mc, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, begin , end , time , true);
}

btnOff.onRollOver = function() {

Here is some quick code that you can take a look at. You just need to loop through your mc's.

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
 
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip( "container", 0 );
var offsetX:Number = 0;
 
var i:Number = -1;
var n:Number = 8;
 
while( ++ i < n )
{
    var mc:MovieClip = container.attachMovie( "Box", "box_" + i, i );
    mc._x = offsetX;
    
    setupButtons( mc );
    
    offsetX += mc._width;
}
 
container._x = ( Stage.width - container._width ) >> 1;
container._y = ( Stage.height - container._height ) >> 1;
 
function setupButtons( button:MovieClip ):Void 
{
    button.onRollOver = rollOverHandler;
    button.onRollOut = rollOutHandler;
}
 
function rollOverHandler():Void 
{
    var i:Number = 8;
    
    while( i -- )
    {
        if( container[ "box_" + i] != this )
        {
            new Tween( container[ "box_" + i], "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 50, .1, true );
        }
    }
}
 
function rollOutHandler():Void 
{
    var i:Number = 8;
    
    while( i -- )
    {
        new Tween( container[ "box_" + i], "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 50, 100, .1, true );
    }
}

Ill give it a try

[bigpandesal]

Sorry to be a noob....Do I just name my movie clip instances as "box_1, box_2, and so on?"

So I suck at this....Heres a link to my flash file....WHAT AM I DOING WRONG AHHHH!

The next dilemma I have is that I have them placed in certain area of the swf. Is it possible to indiviually manually place them on screen?

[Isocase]

You can move the entire container like container._x = ..., container._y = ... or you can grab each box individually like container[ "box_" + 0 ]._x = ..., container["box_" + 1]._x = ...

Is there any way to make this work inside of XML when you load an XML file and have a group of buttons on the page.
