ActionScript 2.0 :: Background Cross Fade When Button Is Clicked?
Aug 13, 2009
I know some basic actionscript but this one is a bit more challenging (to me at least), as (i believe) it requires setting variables...anywho, here is the swf:
[URL]
As you can see, right now when you click each button the respective background image comes up. Now what i need is for them to crossfade, not switch. And preferably at a variable speed. Here is the (simple and obvious) actionscript so far:
Each button is labeled button1, button2 etc. and each image has an instance name of simply "1", "2" etc....Can anyone help me and let me know what the actionscript would be for them to crossfade ? keeping in mind that the user might click button 1 then 4 then 2 then 5, meaning they cannot simply crossfade in order.

I have 5 buttons that need to, when clicked fade the image in the background out and fade a new picture in. each of these buttons has a specific image related to it. how can i achive this smooth transition in and out for all of the buttons?
I am working on creating an interactive map. When a button is clicked a circle graphic fades in. When the same button is clicked I want the graphic to fade out the same way. I can only figure out how to make the graphic instantly disappear instead of fading out. I am following a tutorial and changing it to my needs. The tutorial can be seen here: [URL] The steps for the animation start at step 8. Here is the code I am using:
[Code]...
I am using Flash CS3 and Action Script 2.0. I would also like to have the circle graphic have a small photo pop up by it when the mouse hovers over it. What do I need to look into to make something like this happen? I haven't been able to find anything similar to doing this.
I am currently doing a project that involves animating a background image up/down when buttons are pressed.
1.) It will need to check if a button has been pressed and then animate the background up.
2.) It will also need to check to see what the position of the background is. If it has been animated up already, it will need to be animated down.
3.) Finally it will need to contain if and else statements to animate the background movie clip. If, will animate it to y = 180. else will check the position, if it has been animated up, the background movieclip will be animated down to y = 330
I have a menu animation where my background changes colour when clicked by a button. > This works fine. But when I click the button the second time it doesnt go to that colour, it goes to another colour.
I'm trying to cross fade between two frames using action script. I can fade a frame out with the following script but I can't figure out the cross fade part.
/* Fade Out Movie Clip
Fades out the symbol instance by decreasing its alpha property within an ENTER_FRAME event until it is invisible.
Instructions:
1. To change the speed at which the symbol instance fades out, change the 0.01 value below (valid values are in the range 0.0 - 1.0). Higher values cause faster fade out.
2. The '-=' operator is a shortcut to typing 'Spread1.alpha = Spread1.alpha - 0.1'.
3. Because the animation uses an ENTER_FRAME event, it progresses only when the playhead moves to a new frame, and the speed of the animation is also affected by the frame rate of the FLA file.
Spread1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolOut); Spread1.alpha = 1; function fl_FadeSymbolOut(event:Event)
The AS3 script below is a cross-fade that is time-based with no user control. How do I keep the cross fade and control it with the "before" and "after" buttons? And with the API opening in its "before" state? And for users to be able to click and/or hover between the two. The link to what I'm trying to set up is:
I am trying to edit the code from o that the effect will look more like a cross-fade. So what I am trying to do is have the next image pre-load, the previous image alpha fade from 100-0, while the new one fades from 0-100
I don't know why, but this has always been a problem for me. What is the best way to cross fade images in an array? Say I have 10 image and I want them to fade over each other and just loop through the array indefinitely (also taking the preload into consideration).
What I've done is taken a Cross Fade and tried to mix in some dynamic image loading using some script posted by Claudio elsewhere on this forum (Cheers!!).However, nothing seems to happen????take a look at the script and offer a fix??
I am trying to do simultaneous cross fade of images in a slideshow. The script here seems to have a very elegant method for cross-fading movieclips: [URL] However, I cannot get this script to work for images Anyone have a clue as to how to make this work with images? Let's say I have done: this.createEmptyMovieClip("photo", 200) and done a loadmovie of an iamge into the the MC. Here is the actionscript that I want to alter so that it will cross fade the iamges...
I'm trying to do a simple image gallery with a previous and next button. I have it working nicely with a little crossfade, however I know that I need to remove old instances of my class after they are done being used - I just don't know how to do it. Especially because I want to wait until the top image/instance is fully faded in before deleting the one below it and what if someone clicks the next/previous button before the image is fully faded in?
Here is my main movie: [AS] function nextImage(evt:Event):void{ currentImage ++; currentImage = (currentImage < imageTotal) ? currentImage : 0; addImage(); }function prevImage(evt:Event):void{ [Code] .....
I'm trying to do a cross-fade effect for my gallery. To do that, I'm using two movieclips, one that holds the image currently displayed, and another one that holds the image that should be displayed next. When the coming image is loaded, the cross-fade effect should happen, the container that holds the image that was on stage should be cleared out, then the image in the other container should be displaced to the former container.
Here's my code so far: function loadFirstImage():void { imageLoader = new Loader(); imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addFirstImage); imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(myImages[0].url)); currentImage = new MovieClip(); [Code] .....
I'm current trying to create a slideshow with images loaded externally, and then crossfading between one another.I've achieved how to load the images one after another, but however I'm having problems with achieving a crossfade.Do I need to have 2 seperate image loaders? Because I do not want to have the first image fade out, showing the background for even a minute of a second before the second one fades in.
how to use if/else and setInterval statements on the cross fade slideshow. I am trying to edit the code to have the xml slideshow loop back to the first image and play continuously. I am ok following existing code, not great at writing/editing my own. I thought I needed to work within the nextImage function, and add a slideshow (); function. I haven't been able to get it right. Here is the code minus the xml loading part:
Im working on a project and I dont know how to even think through the problem, as I've only worked through Flash through AS3, and the following needs to be done completely in AS too.
I have two pieces of content - some flash video, and an mp3, both loaded dynamically with loaders etc. All this I think I have fairly well in hand. What I'd like to do make the 'hick-up' as these tracks loop, disappear by cross fading the video and mp3 across it self in the loop - if that makes any sense at all. I suspect that I'll have to delve into the timeline, but perhaps strangely, never done so.
Is there a cross-browser solution to making a flash players background invisible? I have a swf movie that I want to sit on a faintly stripped background. I could place the same background in the Flash movie and sit it with CSS - using hacks for i.e. to make the backgrounds match up, but wondered whether there was a simple way of turning the background off?
I have 4 navigation button and like home, about us etc.... And i want to disable home when it is click and cannot clicked it until the user click another button first. means if a visitor is at home page then home navigation is disabled, and all other are active, and when they click at aboutus button then the pages goes to the about us page and the about us button is disabled and other get active. I want this solution in AS3 with oop concept.
I've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?
I have 2 buttons on the stage whose each MouseEvent load a different external swf when clicked. In an attempt to get the current swf to fade out and new swf to fade in on button click, I vainly added a Tween to the function but to no avail.
As it is now, when the movie starts, the button 1 swf fades in, however, when button 2 is clicked, the new swf is loaded but the old swf does not fade.
Code: import fl.transitions.Tween; import fl.transitions.easing.*; var image:Loader = new Loader();
Does anyone know how to do this rollOver effect? [URL] Enter flash site and look at the rollOver buttons. I have the bar moving over each button but can't get it to fade out.
This is what I have so far. [URL]. My problem is trying to code the menu: I've managed to get the services link to do what I'm after but that is because it is positioned straight after the opening animation in the timeline - that is to have the banner fade out and the bottom line drop down to allow room for the content. From the home page I want each of the links, when clicked, to fade out the banner and drop the banner line down......THEN.......if home is clicked from any of the other pages I want the banner line to move back up and the banner to resume (in my case this is frame 279)
I'm creating a portfolio site with a handful of thumbnails. I want a short description of each thumbnail to appear when I rollover the thumbnail. I've got it set up to appear, but I want them to fade in. I can't seem to figure that out. In addition, I want an image to appear and move to the front when the thumbnail is clicked. I can get it to appear, but if it's not on top, then it will just show under the other images visible. I'm thinking that a simple command would solve all these issues, but I cannot seem to figure it out. I've included the action script for one thumbnail.
Ideally, I'd like for the clicked image to fade out and the next clicked image to fade in, but I think that that is beyond my Actionscript understanding for now.
I have a background I want to fade out. It has multiple colours so as far as I can tell I can't just use Alpha to fade it out (because it changes the whole background to the same colour). Is there anyway I can fade it out to about half-transparent?
I have a flash website where I would like the entire browser window to fade to black when viewing various thumbnails. It seems that Flash's background color setting will bleed through the entire browser, but when I try to add a graphic to create the background fade it only goes so far as the flash stage.The stage size is 780 pixels wide - do I need to create some sort of dynamic stage that scales to whatever the web browser size is? Otherwise, if the web browser goes bigger then 780 pixels the stage boundary is obvious.
Tutorial or an easy to follow example of flash being popped up over an html page and the background of the page fade to a slightly darker colour so that the flash is more prominent.
I've seen it done and would like to know how its done. An example of what i'm speaking of is here[url]...
I'm creating a website and I want the background to change when the user presses a different button. I've been trying to create this effect but haven't been able to yet. I used the post here and built from there, [URL]. I had it working with two images and two buttons but adding the third kind of messed everything up. I've attached the fla.
