It's because _alpha is stored internally at 255 levels, so it's the
dodgy floating point accuracy and conversion from the internal value
to a percentage that causes the inconsistency. If it causes problems,
I usually have a separate value for storing the current alpha.
myClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("appClip",1);
myClip.modifier = 5;
myClip.currentAlpha = 100;
myClip.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.currentAlpha-=this.modifier;
this._alpha = this.currentAlpha
}
Hope this helps!
