ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX]_alpha Crossfade Between 2 MC's ?
Apr 22, 2003
I have 2 movieClips that I want to fade.mc 1 fades out while mc2 fades in. I want to do it in AS to keep my file size down, 'cause I will be having quite a few of this happing.I know how to have one mc fade in using:(I know this is a fade in and I can fadein/out individually)
speed = 10;
bigCalendar_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha<100) {[code]......
So, the idea is, to have this mc's (dnk0-dnk6) fading one after the other in a sequence. Which happens as it is supposed to, but what I am trying to do now, is reverse it. With no luck, as you can see from the top script .I was thinking about a solution in a way of telling when _alpha is below 0, than the _alpha would start to rise, until it reaches a hundred, then it would start to fall again.
I have looked up the tutorials on tween class etc. but can't figure out if I can crossfade images using nextFrame. I have a dozen images placed in their own frames and a button using nextFrame (and prevFrame) to navigate between them. How would I crossfade these images smoothly?
I'm trying to do a crossfade effect, and I have [code]Which makes the image fade in, but I also want the image to fade out which it doesn't do, when I change direction:Transition.IN to direction:Transition.OUT
I've been working with Scotty's XML Crossfade (attachment link on bottom) and I'm trying to publish it in Flash 8...his version is in MX.I'm wondering (Scotty, if you know this, chime in!) if anyone knows really WHY I get an error message saying it can't find an undefined item in the folder I have the files in...yet the slideshow still works (with exception to the preloader).url...
I have an XML image gallery that works great, but I'm not satisfied with how the images transition. I'd like the old image to fade out while the new one is fading in whenever the viewer hits the previous or next button, so that way there's no blank background space between the transitions while the new image is being loaded. Below is my code[code]....
I'm trying to do a cross-fade transition in Flex between two states, both containing a VideoDisplay object. The problem is that the default CrossFade effect takes a bitmap snapshot of both states and blends between the two. This means that the movies appear to be frozen for the time of the transition. Does anybody know of a solution that uses a PixelBender (GPU-accelerated) method of fading between two movies? My other option is to manually re-order the video objects and change the alpha of the top one, but this uses a lot of CPU (in my case ±300%)...
I've been looking into how to crossfade externally loaded .jpgs.So far everything I have found deals with slideshows and seems more complicated than what I need.I have created a new Loader that will load a .jpg when the thumbnail of the corresponding image is clicked.I am trying to get the currently loaded image to crossfade upon load completion of the new image being loaded.I'm thinking I can define a variable that is the current image in the loader and then on completion of loading of the new image run a function that fades out the current image and fades in the new image simultaneously.I am having problems trying to identify the currently loaded image of the loader into a variable.
I've been trying to combine Rhamej's wonderful XML gallery with Scotty's Crossfading gallery. I understand both of them separately and have modified both of them for fun, but they use such different functions that I'm having a hard time melding them together.
I have two different background images for my navigation bar. I want the two images to crossfade between each other incrementally depending on the position of the mouse cursor. I was thinking I could do this with an OnClipEvent (mouseMove) and an attach movie command, but I'm not really sure how that works... like I said, i'm just starting out, and I'm thinking I've bitten off more than I could chew.
I am building a modified version of a slideshow, using the code from a tutorial: [URL] What I am wondering is if it is possible to cross fade the imagery so that the images don't just fade in, jump to the next image and fade in. Here is the code I'm working with from the tutorial.
im making my portfolio website and i was wondering if its possible to make 2 things:
1) crossfade transition effect between photos like: [url].... (i know site isn't flash) (when loaded click on f.ex. editorial location, left side click is previous and right side next)
2) first photo on category as a preloader (filling up from top to bottom). i got my photos in category too (on different swf files) and for now im using simple strip preloader.
I'm not having luck setting alpha values with _parents that contain child textFields created dynamically. The text filed doesn't change its _alpha with the other objects in the movie clip.
Does setting _alpha levels to values less than 0 or greater than 100 cause problems?I know I can program these out but I am trying to make some code as efficient as possible.
I'm trying to do something fairly simple. I have a movieclip that when clicked with change it's alpha = 0.This is the script I'm using for the movie clip:
I'm using AS2 (Flash 8), and I created a subclass of MovieClip - Card and attached an instance to the stage using attachMovie. However, I can't seem to make it invisible using _visible. Using _alpha works, however, but I would like to use _visible instead. where the problem might be? Here's the relevant code:
[Code]....
One more thing, what are the events for when the mouse cursor enters or leaves a MovieClip? I've tried onRollOver and onRollOut, but those are apparently not the correct events...
I have created a movieClip and placed two dynamically created text fields within it. These fields use embedded fonts and work when I first add text and the format to themThe issue I'm having happens when I change the _alpha of the containing movieClip to 0. After that I can not get the text to appear again, even though the _alpha on the containing clip traces out to 100.I am not using the tween class on the textFields or containing clip to achieve the _alpha. I am however using the tween class elsewhere.
I was trying to make a menu for a game, (and I succeded, it works fine) when I noticed that if I store a clip name in a string var I can't I acess it's alpha with varName._alpha (?) or some other ways I tried.
Is there anything wrong in my code, or is there a way to do it that isn't the one I'm trying?
The way I'm doing it, I have a MovieClip for each screen, that in turn contains all the MovieClips and Buttons, etc, that each screen must contain. So sometimes I must specify the path to things with "_root.MovieClipName.thatThing._blah". Although I think this has nothing to do with my problem there, since the vars are all declared in the stage's timeline...
If you don't quite understand how the functions work, here's a call swapScreen function example: swapScreen("overlap", "OptionsScreen", "options");
If "swap", it removes the screen I'm in, and attaches another one in place. If "overlap" it overlaps the current screen with an overlaper screen (like opening the Options menu ingame). restoreScreen() restores to the previous screen that has been overlapped.
ActionScript Code: function swapScreen(swapType:String, ID:String, screen:String):Void { if (swapType == "swap") {
I'm trying to fade a piece of text that I'm loading via XML in and out (as well as moving it's location in and out).* The fade out part is working fine, and as long as I have a _alpha.100 command where I'm currently calling my "slidein" function (really the fade in function) it works fine. No idea why! I've tried about 100 different placements and I'm stumped.. It's very perplexing.*
ActionScript Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) {
I have a dynamic text box and i want to mask it but its not working. i remember once someone was showing me something that had to be done to a dynamic text box to get _alpha effects on them and I wonder if its the same thing. Problem is, I don't know what that "thing" is.
have a big Flash (AS2) book, with a small button that, on zoom, disappears (_alpha = 0)This is working either when i run the swf directly, in Firefox 4 and Chrome.
