N00b requiring assistance

I only recently started doing AS in flash, and i am having some trouble with the code.

Basically what I want to do is make the buttons fade out onRollOver and fade in onRollOut. All my buttons are on different layers and are buttons.

The code I have on the buttons is:

on (rollOver)
{
_alpha = 50
}

on (rollOut)
{
_alpha = 100
}

Now when I go to preview the whole page fades out and fades in rather than just the button. Can someone please help?

Just put this code on your buttons

on (rollOver) { 
    this._alpha = 50 
}

on (rollOut) { 
    this._alpha = 100
}

ahhh theres a much much much easya way, graphical infact!

double click on the button, and you will see in the timeline 4 'chunked up' frames

from memory (you will see for yourself anyway), the first frame is normal, the 2nd frame is when the mouse is over it, the 3rd frame is when the mouse is clickin, and the 4th frame is what happens on click (i find the 4th pretty useless)

so in the 1st frame the alpha is 100, 2nd frame is 50. simple.

let me know how you went!

I finally fixed it. I had some stupid coding on the frame and the right coding on the button, and coding on the frame is what caused the error messages. I fixed it.
Thanks for the help.

lol for arguments sake which one of our ideas was better for you to understand???

just saying in my way you can do way more then just alpha.....
