ActionScript 2.0 :: Function To Fade Movie Clip In And Out
Apr 20, 2010
I have the following functions that fade a movie clip in and out
Code:
fadeAmount = 1;
function fadeIn() {
this._alpha += fadeAmount;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
[Code] .....
And then I call the movie clip to start fading in and appear on stage
Code:
contentMC._alpha = 0;
contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
What I need is some way to tell the movie "after you reach alpha 100, stay there for x seconds and then fade out" and execute this code:
Code:
contentMC._alpha = 100;
contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;Aafter it reaches alpha = 0 it should stop and stay there without looping back and starting to fade in again.
flash version: CS3 AS2 Im having trouble making the pages for a website im working on. I have a row of buttons, and I want each one to open its corrisponding page ie. contact_us_button to open contact_us movie clip. the thing is I want each page to transition in and out. so when I click contact us, the contact us movie clip fades in and stops. When I click about us, the contact us movie clip fades out and about us fades in.
Is the way to do this to make each page movie clip have a fade start and fade end, and have it stop before the fade end, and on another page click continue playing the current clip to get the fade out and then open the new page movie clip?
There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
I am looking for a way to fade in a white movie clip over my main movie when a button is pressed.
(i.e. When you press a button, a white rectangle will fade in over all other layers and then fade out after a couple of seconds. This is to make it look like the different pages are fading in and out without having to build the transition over and over again.)
Have been fiddling around for some time now and just can't seem to fade out my movie clip, the same way that I have faded it in. I have this AS already on it, am not sure if I should set the alpha or if I need to do something more complicated.
I will be loading a movie clip, into a container just to the left of the portfolio elements.What I want to happen is, in my Loaded MC I want to be able to click on the thumbnail, and in the parent movie clip ( the one you select the portfolio elements from).I want a Movie clip to fade in on top of everything. but Im having a few errors.IN my parent file Ive created and named a blank movie clip .the script inside of the satellite MC is :
but it unloads the satellite MC and replaces it with the swf, rather than inserting it in my target movie clip in the parent page.I cannot use _root in this instance, and Ive tried adding "_parent._parent".. im at a loss here.....
How do you make a movie clip fade out when the cursor enters the stage, but then fades back in once the cursor has left the stage? Is the same method then used with buttons?
movie clip's alpha to fade to 0 when the cursor enters the stage, and then when it leaves the stage to blend back up to 100% (or do you say '1'?)So far this is the code and FollowTxt will fade out but not back in:
var myFrame:Frame = new Frame(); var myHelp:Help = new Help(); var myFollowTxt:FollowTxt = new FollowTxt();
In simple terms, the first page loads and the movie clip fades in. Then once one of the navigational buttons is clicked, i need it to wait 3 seconds while the fade out animation plays before proceeding to the next page. There may be another way to have the fadeout animation play before it proceeds to the next page, as im fairly new to actionscript, im not totally sure.
I thought of making each phase inside "content" a movie clip, adding all the even listeners in the main actions layer and also adding the transitions there too.
When X even listener is pressed in X movie clip pointing to Y movie clip, fade out X using an e.target tween and somehow fetch the Y info and fade that movie clip in.
I really have two questions: How do I affect both a movie clip and its child movie clip in the same function? and how do I pull info from one component into a function for another? My basic setup is a movie clip of font choices, one on each frame: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frames has a child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText" with alignment choices for the font. For instance, the user picks "Script" in the first ComboBox and then picks "Align Right" in the second. (All of this text is static because I need more design control that I can get with dynamic text.)
First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from frame to frame on movieclip "bodyText_mc." This works nicely:
The question is, How do you apply a function to a movie clip inside a movie clip inside a movie clip. So there are three mc and I need to apply the function to the inner most one.
Here is what I have. The 'a' is in 'spin_4' wich needs to be in 'portal'.
I'm trying to make a bubble movie clip, instance name storeBtn, grow in and out and fade in/out. I understand now that I can't use more than one prototype object because their onEnterFrame's replace each other? On their own each of these protypes work, although the scaling one isn't contraining the movie clip, it squishes the bubble in and out a bit. Is there any way to combine alpha and scale in one prototype? I tried adding more parameters but that didn't work. Or is there some other way?Here's the code I'm trying to work with.
Is there a way to fade a movie clip out based on the proximity of the mouse? Basically if my mouse is greater than 100 pixels away from a movie clip, I want the movie clip to fade to 0 and stay invisible.
I have a movie clip that is a motion tween with a shape with fade... Now I want to put this mc as a mask .. and showing a part of an image with lot of this mc's I know that I have to use duplicate movie clip, but the mc as mask isn't working
Whenever someone clicks on a nav button, the corresponding .swf file loads into a blank movie clip I have on my home page. What I'd like to do is have the content on the current page fade out before the content on the new page fades in. I've used Flash for years, but this is the first web site I've built entirely in Flash, and I don't quite know how to approach this. I'm assuming ActionScript would be the easiest and most efficient way to produce this effect, but I don't know how to go about doing it. Is there a way to tell the current movie to go to a certain frame in the movie and play it before loading the next external movie clip?
I have a simple text fade movie clip that will "play" but won't work when I "Test Movie." What am I missing? I don't regularly use Flash as of yet, and have been successful before, but this is ridiculous - and I know I'm probably missing something very simple.
I want to loop through a movie clip and assign a function to each of the clip's child movieclips. when i do a for...in loop and then do a typeof() trace I get "string" and obviously it won't let me assign lets say 'onRollOver' functions to the children.
I have a tweened movie which plays on a loop. A click on the image area stops the movie and the image fades nicely from alpha 100 to alpha 0. A second click brings the image back immediately to alpha 100 and the clip continues. I would like the movie image to fade back in from alpha0 to alpha 100 before it re-starts; (the reverse of the fade out). At the moment the re-appearence of the image is a crude jump. So far my ill informed tinkering has not worked.
how to do this effect.I have a movie instance named "sparkles_mov" as in internal movie, not loading externally.It's placed multiple times on the stage.I need an AS code for the first frame of the entire stage that makes all instances fade in at a specific frame number (5), last for XXX amount of seconds and then all of the instances to fade out at a specific frame number (70).Is this possible? I have all instances fading in using this AS code placed on the frame that they enter on but the fade out never works, the just abruptly disappear:
This is very Newb. I'm having issues using Tweener, AS2, AS3. I'm trying to have 3 movie clips fade in and out sequentially, each one fading in over 2-3 seconds, staying on screen for 6 seconds, then fading out. I would like all 3 clips to loop. Im trying to use Tweener for the first time.
I have a menu (mc_menu) with 6 button mc's (btn_home, btn_about, ..........btn_contact) I also have 6 containerson the stage (content_home, content_about, ..........content_contact)Right now I'm loading different external swf's(home, about,......contact) with the following AS code:
I have a movice clip of a container "traveling" down a conveyor belt. I duplicate this movie 30 times (to simulate 30 items moving down the line). The code I'm trying is below.My problem. When the 2 duplicate clip item is created - I want to pause the duplication, (stopping items on the conveyor belt) play a movie clip (next to second item to explain what has happened), then continue duplication, stop duplication again at eighth item, (do similar to #2) play another movie clip - then continue all duplication until I hit 30. At which point they all start falling off the conveyor belt.
// NOTE, this is a movie clip, not on the main timeline...so all control needs to happen in this movie clip's timeline delay = 1 count = 0 i = 0
This is a "is it possible question". I have a series of buttons that navigate within this flash file. Although the entire project has a screen movie clip on a seperate layer over top of everything. This screen contains rollover event listeners that change depending on where you move the mouse. Is it possible to have the mouse pass through the first movie clip and control the button underneath as well as the rollover event listener on top?
