I have a list of twenty sentences (white characters) that I want to fade in from black, hold for (n) seconds, then fade out to black. I can do this by tweening but can it be done in AS2 in one frame?
1) Sentence one (n=3 seconds)
2) Sentence two (n=3 seconds)
3) Sentence three is slightly longer and would take longer to read (n=10 seconds)
4) ...etc
Is there a way in actionscript to search through a block of text and extract certain sentences for example or pieces of information that match a certain criteria. What im thinking of doing is loading in some data from an XML file and searching through to see if it contains a link and/or an URL
View 1 RepliesIn Flex 4 I have a list where every product in it is rendered through an ItemRenderer. Now, when I filter the list I want to fadeout the products that are removed. I can't add the fadeout effect to the hideEffect of the item renderer since renderers are being reused. Anyone a valid (easy) solution on how the fadeout the products correctly.

View 1 RepliesI'm using htmlText property for some text, what I'm doing is 3 images aligned to the left, one under the other, and allow each line of text to be next to one image.Here is the html used:
<img src="image1.png" width="50px" height="50px"/><p>First line to be next to image 1</p>
<img src="image2.png" width="50px" height="50px"/><p>Second line to be next to image 2</p>
<img src="image3.png" width="50px" height="50px"/><p>Third line to be next to image 3</p>
I expect each line to appear right next to the image, but instead of that, when I use the string with textField.htmlText = myString; I get all the sentences next to my image1.png, not each next to their own image. I've tried anything, adding style and putting a height to the p tag, no effect. I'm running out of ideas. This seems rather elementary to achieve, however, it seems very complicate with AS3.

I this file: It's Here (FLA) and it's made me completely lost. When you download it, you can clearly see my intentions, I was trying to get each text box to fade out and then another one to fade in when a button was clicked but for some reason the home text box has a little bit to much fun and keeps appearing every third time you click a button, by the way, I haven't set up the last button yet,
View 5 RepliesI am very new to Flash and am trying to work out how to fade in some text in a text box over a space of about 60 frames (25frs)
Can anyone poiint me in the right direction
I was wondering if anyone has any input on my question.I've been trying to figure out for a few hours now how to make words or sentences animate in and "pause" for a few seconds (for the user to read) and then continue to play. I know I can tween it, but I wanted to do it via actionscript. I got it to animate in and come out but i couldn't figure out how to have it hold for a few sec. I will have more than one sentence animate in and out.

View 5 RepliesI'm looking to use Action Script to fade in and fade it out a number of phrases. All of the phrase will appear in the same location, so only one phrase should appear at a time I would also like to make the phrases appear in random order.'ve been able to make one of the phrases fade in and out using the code below. However I'm not sure how to run it in a continuos loop and set it up so the movie clips (mc1, mc2, .... mc10) are in a random order.
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
var tween1:Tween = new Tween(mc1, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 1, 3, true);tween1.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, startTween2);

do a simple fade in of text with a motion tween. I have entered text, converted to graphic symbol, set alpha channel on frame 1 to 0% and on frame 30 to 100%, the add motion tween. The text simply pops back in at frame 30 with no fade in between 0 and 30 at all. I have text set as static. Is this a Flash bug? I am working with Flash CS3. The same thing happened when I tried to do a zoom with a graphic and I had to break the two objects apart before I got any motion tween between them. This is not working with text, however.

When you click on a hot spot on the image a movie clip fades in - the movie clip is infact just an image of a semi transparent* Inside the movie clip is a text box that loads text from an xml* I want the movie clip / text to fade in when it loads, and out as it dissapears.So far everything is working - except for the text. I can't get it to fade in, mostly because this functionality would only seem to work with OnClipEvent, which I can't seem to accomplish if the movie clip isn't on the stage.
View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip that houses 5 text boxes. I need to fade up/down alpha of everything in it. As a test, using the movie clip that holds the text boxes seg_mc.alpha = 10 doesn't work. Zero is completely transparent or 1 is 100%.

View 4 RepliesI have a problem with a fade over a dinamic text box. I have 2 MC's the MC1 has a button "Btn"with this function
Code:
btn.onRelease=function(){
if(_parent.uno._alpha==0){

everything works fine the mc2 does the fade, but the dinamic text box doesn't. It seems that the script works with everything inside of the mc2 but not with the dinamic text box.
I have borrowed the code from Tiago's web blog. [URL]. I have noticed a few odd things, and have tried to send off to Tiago himself but have not received any response. The first thing I noticed is the code seems to call for the .php file before it can load, so at times it will generate a "undefined" for both the quote and author. The second thing is, which may tie into the first, there seems to be the occasion where the code doesn't load the php file at all. The author and quote will be blank for a duration. And the third question I have is how do I get the text to fade out again after the fade in after an interval.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
var quote:Array = new Array();
var author:Array = new Array();
var totalQuotes:Number;
var rotateTimer:Timer = new Timer(10000, 100); //rotates the quote every 2 seconds for 100 times

I have three buttons on my stage, each with an instance name of USA_btn, Canada_btn, and Mexico_btn. I also have corresponding text with instances names of USA_txt, Canada_txt, and Mexico_txt. When file opens, you see all three buttons on stage and USA_txt. When the user clicks Canada_btn, the USA_txt should fade out, and Canada_txt should fade in. I need to accomplish this with action script as I will eventually have 10 combinations.
I can determine the instance name when a button is clicked with event.CurrentTarget.name. How can I use the instance name to:
1) Fade out old text?
2) Fade in new text?
I assume I will set opacity=0 but I keep getting error #1056: Cannot create property alpha on String.
I have a Text MovieClip and am changing the text colour when the mouse rolls over the movieclip.This is good but I would like to be able to fade in and out the text colour change.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to fade in some text at a certain point in my movie. After reading the tween class tutorial, I grabbed this snipped of code, slightly modified to be:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var fadeIn:Tween = new Tween(myTextMovieClip, "_alpha", Elastic.easeInOut, 0, 100, 2, true);
Now, when I run my movie this works just fine. But the thing is, I don't want it to run until a button is clicked in the movie, and the movie clip will not be visible until that button is clicked. So how would I have this tween fire off when the button is clicked? How do I connect them?
Code:
myButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
myMovieClip.fadeIn;
}
I know I need to embed the font and declare the font in a setFormat string.
Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("cat",this.getNextHighestDepth());
cat.createTextField("txt",this.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,100,50);
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "Times";
cat.txt.embedFonts = true;
cat.txt.text = "cat";
cat.txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
cat._alpha = 50;
I am trying to have a simple swf with a static background image that will have phrases at random locatoin slowly fade in, stay for a few seconds,and then fade out. Then the next phrase, and the next one,and then next one,until it loops arround again. The phrases are coming from a database,and I have already created my asp code to give me a page with &phrase=phrase1,phrase2,phrase3,...&status=1&. My fla file has two layers--one for the background and the other for a movie clip wich contains a dynamic text field. My first frame loads my variables, and my second frame looks to see if status equals 1 (the last variable being loaded). If status is not equal 1, I send the head back to frame 1, otherwise I split the phrases into an array, get the height and width of the swf, and init a count var to 0.
Code:
//Look for a way to test the number of times the loop back to frame 1
//has been doen so that we can set a time out. Additionally, maybe put
//logic in the system to test for a blank services?
if (_root.status == 1) {
[code]....
However, many parts of that code does not work. I broke the math stuff up so that I could see the values in debug. Anyhow, Text_Width and Text_Height are undefined, which causes Text_X and Text_Y to be calculated for positions that may put the text off screen?
