The below function goes through once, increments the _alpha of picture1 and then exits....wont loop until _alpha is greater or equal to 100.
function delaytext() {
if (picture1._alpha >= 100) {
picture1._alpha = 100;
trace("complete" + picture1._alpha);
} else {
picture1._alpha += 1;
}}
I was wondering if someone knew or has one of those accurate speed tests could test "not less than" versus "greater or equal to" speed in Actionscript 3 (Air 2.5 if that makes a difference)?I have virtual machines running on this computer and I am getting very inaccurate results.
Using it as such
if ( !(__index < _vector.length) ) return;
or
if ( __index <= _vector.length ) return;
I would have thought the first one, since all its doing is 1 test and then reversing it, but actionscript 3 has some of those quirks where you can never be sure.

i'm trying to get it so a MC1 on top of MC2 slowly fades in. It starts with alpha of 0 and i put it in a while loop (on MC1):

I need to dynamically increase and decrease the alpha value in a "for loop" like shown belowfor example if the 'for loop' is for 5 times and the alpha i need to change is "x" then
loop 1 --> x = 0.3;
loop 2 --> x = 0.5;
loop 3 --> x = 1.0;

I've been trying to put together a function that I can reference through various symbols in a movie to fade their alpha properties. So far all I've found is code that forces me to reference the specific symbol in the function, however I have to do this to a BUNCH of symbols over different periods within my timeline, part of which will be triggered by a loaded movie. Any function that will fade up or down that can sit on the _root. and be referenced by any symbol whenever needed?

Why would

NOT work if the value is a decimal value between 0 and 1?The trace only works sometimes. I didn't note though at what value it worked..STUPID ME...forgot and plus, it was 2AM.I am reading in an array ..byteArray, and then passing readFloat to vol.
I am new to AS3 and writing classes and keep having a hard time with these error messages I am getting. I have the following AS:

back_next_nav.next_btn.alpha = .3

The class works fine, except when I try to set the alpha to 30% in the constructor function, I get this error in the output window.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have just found out that flash wont let me create a movie with width or height greater than 2880. The thing is I have an image of the stage which has a height of 3568px so some clipping has occured and I cannot see the rest of the image when I publish the movie. Is there a way to somehow adjust my movie to this height so that I can see the rest of the image? I have assigned a little AS2 to resize the stage:
Code:
Stage.height = 3568;
However this doesnt work!
I am trying to loop through a bitmap and determine if each pixel is lighter or darker than gray using getPixel(). Problem is, I am not sure how to tell whether the value returned by getPixel() is darker or lighter than gray.
Neutral gray is about 0x808080 or R:127, G:127, B:127. How would I need to modify the code below to accurately determine this?

I have a scrolling flash gallery. On mouse hover over a thumbnail, a popup with more description is shown. The problem is that my stage height is 200px but the popup requires additional about 200px to show properly. When I embed this in an HTML page with the object tag height set to 200px, i see the scroller completely but the popup get cut from the top. If i change the object height to 400px, it show me the popup fine, but this inserts extra blank space in the html page.
