ok, i'm trying to animate an object's alpha by as...
thats what i thought was corect:
itm3.onRollOver = function() { itm3.gotoAndPlay("over");}itm3.onRollOut = function() { itm3.gotoAndPlay("out");}itm3.onPress = function() {var newsFade:Tween = new Tween (_root.newsMc,alpha,Regular.easeIn,100,1,2,true);
}
not working...
[URL] i want the object to fade out but in the object there's a lot of overlapping pictures and each becomes half transparent. how to make the movieclip to change the alpha as it was without objects?

Does anyone know how to go about animating a movie clip that would go behind another movie clip?
For instance: A stack of photos, that on click, the top photo would animate to the left (or right) and then animate to the back of the stack. My only problem is that i don't understand how to change the order of things, or if this is even possible (as essentially eveything is on layers), the only way i can think of is to have everything on one layer, but then this would interupt the animation of each photo
I have a straight line that converges to a point which makes the line curve. I want an arrow to follow the converging line. Motion guides seem to only work with a defined non moving path. How can I get my arrow to follow the moving curving path?
View 2 RepliesIs there a simple way to animate the color of an object using actionscript in Flash?I found a simple way in Flex,it uses the spark.effects.AnimateColor class.I try to find something similar to Flash,is there a way or a library that i can use,or can i somehow use the Flex libraries?[code]...
View 1 RepliesI need a script which can animate an objects resize through AS. I know that
on (rollOver) {
_root.reBox._width = 100;
} on (rollOut) {
_root.reBox._width = 50;
}
Will jump my MC "reBox" to 100px on rollover and to 50px on Rollout, but how do I get AS to animate the transition - basically a tween!

View 1 RepliesI am struggling to find a way to animate a fill of text in Flash CS4. The concept I am looking for is that over a time period have the color rise from the bottom to the top. My initial attempt was to have 2 objects, one filled with the color and the other filled with white. I was hoping to just adjust the borders of the object or text to have it disappear, but that just reshapes the object, not cropping it. If you know how to crop into objects and reveal the object beneath, let me know.
I am very new to Flash so hopefully it is a simple answer, but I am not seeing it yet.
i want to animate an object entering the stage when a button is clicked but when another button is clicked i want the object to exit with an animation..I can do it in the timeline but idont know how it is done with code....

So I have so parts of actionscript which I am figuring out on how to make them one. What I am wanting to do is move an object to the right and fadeout. Here is my code to animate right 10 pixels, this works perfectly.

I recently bought an mp3-player coded in Flash and it works great, except for the fact that I do not want it to appear constantly on the timeline.
The mp3-player is generated throught code, so I was wondering if there is a way to control the alpha of a variable named mp3playerContainer and set it to 0? I have navigation points on frame 25 and 55 where I want this mp3player to not be visible. Could it be an idea to use "currentFrame", so that if currentFrame equals 25 or 55, then alpha of the variable mp3playercontainer will be set to 0?
I'm not sure what is causing this but I have objects that are transparent on the stage till they are called (object.alpha==0). The background image is of a room with fairly bright light.But when the background changes to a dark room the transparent items in front of it have white outlines around them...making the file unusable.
View 1 RepliesI want to have an object start off with an alpha of 0 but then opacity in to 100% later on the timeline BUT I have to use Actionscript.
View 6 RepliesI am very new to Flash and I have the following script:
mouseInterval = setInterval(changeAlpha,10);
function changeAlpha(){ fader_mc.alpha = Math.round(root.mouseX/550*100) }
This is simply to change the Alpha of my object as I change the X value of the mouse cursor. I keep getting the following error message:
1120: Access of undefined property mouseInterval
I'm creating pages with text supported by wav files for training. on the bottom of the page is a progress bar. I want to make a button that when clicked will permenantly
raise the alpha of a movie clip (on a different layer) to 100%. (it is currently set to 0) within the movie clip (hazpop) is a button that will turn the alpha to zero (click to close window) so in theory (not as2) it should be: on mousedown alpha.hazpop=100 I've been combing the forums for days and no-one is talking about alpha.
for a periodic table tool I'm making, I've incorporated an effect that changes the alpha value whenever I hover over an element (pretty standard). I've noticed a mysterious gain in memory when hovering over my elements; using SYSTEM.TOTAL_MEMORY - there would be about 0.005MB increase in memory usage when I hover over an element, which isn't relinquished when I move my mouse off. However, if I move my mouse back on again, there isn't a second memory gain.
[Code]...
Does anyone know why this memory gain is happening when the alpha value is changed? And curiously why it only happens once? Some extra info: my Element class is a MovieClip, with a couple of TextFields, primitive variables and a MovieClip in it. It has had its mouseChildren property set to false (and buttonMode property set to true).
I'm building a custom UI for a program and I'm having trouble with a mouse event on an object that is visible, but is |. Imagine the top object being a frame and the lower object being a photo. I want to detect mouse events on the photo. So what happens currently is that only mouse events on the top object are detected. Thoughts on how to get around this?
View 3 RepliesI want to achieve the effect on [URL]. The effect on the left on the about page in which when the mouse moves over the alpha of the object goes to 0%. I have all the layers set up with masks and all but need the action script. I tried applying the following code to a mask which I converted to a movieclip.
on(rollover){
this._alpha--;
}
But this did not work for some reason.
I have an interval problem.
Code:
//function for fading in objects
function fadeIn(theMc:MovieClip, fadeParam:Number) {
if (theMc._alpha < 100) {
theMc._alpha += fadeParam;
trace(theMc._alpha);
[Code] .....
I made a small function for fading in objects. Once the object its alpha is larger then 100, it should stop that interval, but it doesn't.
I want to alpha tween (ease in from 0 to 1) an object on stage over 25 frames. And after the tween is over i want the object to persist on the stage and in the timeline. How can i do that?afaik i have to extend the tween in the timeline beyond the keyframe with 1 alpha. But when i do that this also extends the time of the tween from 0 to 1 and it actually lowers the alpha 1 in the keyframe automatically to some figure that fits with the ease in which apparently spans the entire tween.
View 8 RepliesAll the images have to be in timeline 1 on different layers(they all have to be in timeline one........).I have a frame, it has a lot of images on it, with them all set to _alpha = 0;
on a button press the required image has its alpha set to 100;
however this means there will be a lot of images on the screen at once....
If alpha is set to 0 does flash have to still draw the object, is there a better way ?
I want to mask an object which will contain text and images. I want the mask to be feathered at the bottom end, for a nice smooth effect when it animates into place. For my masking object, I've created a movie clip with a gradient, using a matrix fill. When I apply the mask, it works, but only as a rectangle. The feathered area (the grey bit) still masks completely. I'm stumped with this one. I've searched around for an explanation, but can't get it to work. Does anyone know of any examples of this working?

i have this: object1.addChild(object2); object1.alpha = 0,5; How can object2 preserve it's initial alpha?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying (and struggling) to get my head around AS3 and am building a flash webpage. I have 2 layers in the timeline, each containing a movie clip matching the page size with instance names backgroundDay and backgroundNight. What I'm wanting is for the background to change for the day and night, so that from 18:00 to 06:00 the alpha of backgroundDay becomes 0 to show backgroundNight behind.
View 5 RepliesI have a button I am creating from 2 movieclips in the library. One is the button body (shape converted to MC). The 2nd is a series of button logo PNG's for an additional visual button state change.I add the logo MC with addChild to the button body. Then I add the button body to display/stage container. ll is layered correctly.If I add alpha or transform the color to the button body, it goes to the top - covering the button logo.Not applying the color or alpha to the button body and applying a color or alpha to the button logo has not effect (displays correctly).
View 4 Repliesjust spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;
[code]....
using AS, on loading a movie a solid shape is there with alpha at 100% then over a period of 5 secs its alpha is reduced to 0.
i'm new to this......please help if you want to if you don't have a good weekend but think of me struggling onwards and upwards...
