anyone remember TellTarget?

Hi. What I'm trying to do is avoid dot syntax. heehee. I have 2 buttons, one to left and one on right. The one on the left is basic button, that sends email. The one on the right is a button that activates a "hidden" or "seated" movie clip, that contains two buttons that give the option to email or visit the the site listed. I've got the email button working the way I want, I'm just having a problem with the script for the right button. I want the movie clip to fade in when the button is rolled over, and then the user has the option to pick whether they want to send email or check the site out first. I have the movie clip "seated" with first keyframe blank and a "stop" in the script. I named the second frame, then named the movie clips instance, and used this script for the button:
on (rollOver) {
tellTarget ("movieclipinstance") {
gotoAndPlay ("framelabelOver");
}
}
This works fine. I just can't remember what I should do to make the movie clip fade out when is "Rolled Out." I can't place a button over it because the movie clip is two buttons. And if I give an action to each button in the "seated" movie clip, the movie clip will fade out too soon(when either of the buttons is rolled out.
I can send an fla if I need too...I used to know how to do this...dunno what happened. THanx for any help. Oh yeah the link inserted has the button I'm talking about. it's the "contact seraph sun" button.
