mc fades in uneven at 100 alpha- it blinks not fades

[rickarooni]

the word "communications" in the flash logo fades in, but it sort of bumps into full transparency right at the end. I'd like the fade-in to stay consistent. this was done in AS2.

here's the code for the last frame of the animation:

stop();
(comm_mc is the instance name)
comm_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(this._alpha < 100){
this._alpha += 2;
trace(this._alpha);
}
}

the trace statement shows that the rate it's fading in is at @1.95/frame and not the 2. what's with that? I tried using Math.round to no avail.
ex:1.953125, 3.90625, 5.859375...
as soon as it crosses 100 it's popping full brightness.

i think it is better you use tewwn class for this type of use it is more better and cool one too.

Your code is just more or less working but it wastes ressources and your logic is also a bit beside the point try this instead:

comm_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._alpha += 2;
if(this._alpha>=100){
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
