I'm making a banner for a personal site that cycles through a set of images loaded from XML (makes it easier to add/remove images whenever I need to) and I have used the slidshow script located here:how.htm for the base.What I have so far is working as expected, my images load with a fade in effect pause for a moment then cut off and the next image loads with the fade in effect (loop).My problem is that I would like the images to fade out (quicker than the fade in) after the short pause but I cant work out where in the script I need to execute this.Here is the script so far:
I have the following file which creates a really simple slideshow... At the moment you currently have to click to fade out and then fade back in to the next image... I just want it to run and play 10 images continuosly fading in and out...
I have an XML file that is updated every three minutes. The amount of records in the file can and will change. What I want is to load the XML, fade in 6 records, pause 5 seconds, fade out then in the next 6 records until the end of the file is reached. At that point, reload the XML file and repeat the process till infinity.
I have the XML file loading. I am able to count the records, parse the XML, and manually place XML data into dynamic text fields. I cannot get my FOR loop to function properly or get the script to pause between pages. I have not even attempted the fade in/out yet. I think I should have it parsing data properly before I add the cosmetics.
MY CODE:I do not get any compiler errors, but I do get an ouput error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at xml_data_fla::MainTimeline/processXML() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I think it is throwing this error as soon as it tries to display an empty record, if that makes since. Say there are 17 records. 17 / 6 = 2 with 5 remaining. When it tries to display the 3rd incomplete page the error is thrown (I think). When I test the file, it only displays the last page before an incomplete page. Here is what I have so far:
ActionScript Code: // *** XML LOADER *** // var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var xml:XML;
The client requested a simple slideshow with 8 images. I was able to piece that together, but only issue left is how to add a fade-in fade-out effect. The images I'm using on not embedded in the flash file but are ref from an xml file so the basic method is out of the question.
[]---XML FILE -----------------------------[] <xml> <images> <a title = "_0000_shiny_wristlets.jpg" /> <b title = "_0001_LSSRT.jpg" />
I'm trying to analyze the sample file load_images.fla which is delivered with flash mx... and here's my problem:there's a line in the first frame in the actions layer which is as follows:if (whichPic<5 && !fadeIn && !fadeOut) {.........}now what is "fadeIn" or "fadeOut"? I thought it might be a method of the MovieClip-Object, but it's not listed in the actionscript-reference. then I thought, it could be a method defined within the flash-movie itself, but it isn't (at least i couldn't find it). so what is it?
I like to think i have a decent knowledge of AS, but this silly little problem has evaded me... Check out my FLA. I'm trying to make a very simple function that will fadein/fadeout a MC whenever run.. you should understand from the FLA.
I'm building a website with fadein/fadeout transitions between sections. On button click, a white rectangle on the very top layer (filling all the screen) is faded in. Once ended, the section changes and the rectangle fadeout is started.
It technically works, but I've noticed that the first transition is not fluid, while the next are fluid. Does exist an efficient technique to achieve the goal?
I want to do the same effect of time line like the link below, did any one know how to do that! [URL]I know the script for changing photo when you slide the bar in the slidebar!But can I add a fade in fade out effect between photos? Below are the script
I'd like to build a fairly simple website where the pages fade between each other, after looking around and remembering what I could from having Flash MX (can't remember which release) all those years ago I figured the best way would be something like this:
Pages as movieclips, these would be placed inside the stage, i.e. with space around them, and buttons along on side which, when clicked will fade in one 'page', and fade out any others where the alpha is at 1.
That way, using only one frame in the main timeline and not having to create fading tweens in each movieclip I can navigate freely between the pages in any order.
I managed to get to the point where I have two buttons and to movieclips, when the first button is pressed a 'page' fades in, and when the next is pressed the first 'page' fades out as the second fades in. However the fade out is delayed and much slower than the fade in, rather than faster as it should be.
Here's the AS page2btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_4); function fl_MouseClickHandler_4(event:MouseEvent):void {
[code]....
how I might restructure this to get a the visual results I want in the most efficient manner?
I am dynamically loading images into a blank movie file. I would like if the images fade in as they load. Remark, I am not using a slide show effect. All i would like to do is load image and make it fade in. When the user clicks to go to the next frame the image should fade out. How to do this?
I have found some code on the web that loads a picture from a folder into a movie clip, and cyle with fadeOut and fadeIn to the next picture by using left and right arrow. I have made some changes to this code by having the pictures cycle with a timer and I also added a group of 6 movie clips for a total of 7 with their own set of picture arrays. So far so good however I am trying to get the fadeOut and FadeIn with a small delay from each other but always in the same order. In other words I want to have clips 1 to 7 fadeOut with a small delay of maybe .5 sec. between each and same thing when the next picture fades in.
I need to produce a photo review show (basically, a photo slide show), which incorporates still photography, and numerous video clips. We will have music playing in the background (not on the timeline - in the actionscript). The full presentation will run automatically - no user interaction, and therefore, I need the background music to automatically fade out when the video starts, and then fade back in when the video ends.
1. Is Flash CS5 the correct software to do this in?
2. code to tell the sound to fade out when the video starts, and fade back in when the video ends?
I coded a xml slideshow with the pictures fading in but I cant seem to find the right technique to hold a picture and fade in the next. I read up on swap depth but cant seem to implement it through the use of a xml file but I have seen exaples using an array.URL...

I am using this tutorial to do a slideshow intro and need the ability to change the speed at which the fade occurs. Currently you can do this by changing the frame rate, but if it stays this way it will be overwritten once it is housed in the main flash movie.
each frame on the main movie pulls in an external jpg. on entering that frame.this movieclip ( slideshow timer) is associated with a play button.frame 1 (slideshow timer)just has a stop.once the play button is pressed then the following code in frame 2.(slideshow timer) begins to switch through the frames on the main movie.but if i want to stop the slide show it doesn't seem to do anything.i suspect that a function cannot be removed but have not found anything to say whether it can or can't.
I have been working on an xml based flash slideshow. However, I am now running into some problems as I try to create a pause button. Is it possible to pause/continue the slideshow? The main functionality code for the slideshow is below:
delay = 5000; function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild; image = []; [Code] .....
I built an XML based slideshow, but need to delay the actions of it for 10 seconds. basically, I want the first image to come up and pause for 10 seconds, then resume with the original speed. Everything works, except I can't figure out how to pause it. I tried using a separate function to call the first image, then a setTimeout for the main slideshow function, but when the main slideshow came up, it had already started and first two slides were already gone. so I removed the setTimeout and have tried a few different things, but nothing seems to work how i need it to. [code]...
I have a slideshow with 3 sections. The slideshow loops automatically as well as when being prompted by a button to go to a particular section. I also added a play/pause button which works initially, however, when clicked on one of the buttons to go to another section, the slideshow resumes looping..I"m assuming I need to check weather the pause button has been clicked to resume/or not resume the slideshow... but I'm unable to figure out how to do that.head of time! Here's the code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;import fl.transitions.easing.*; //Timervar tl:MovieClip = this;var slideDuration:uint = 12000;// or use whatevervar slideTimer:Timer=new
I need to create a slideshow that allows me to pause movement onRollOver and resumes movement onRollOut. Ive tried using onEnterFrame to control the speed of the movieclip but it seems to run infinitely. Also, the slideshow should run on a continuous loop.
Having some trouble with a slideshow flash file. The snippet of AS is attached below. The play functionality is working fine, but when the slideshow is running, the pause button won't work.
NextFrame = function(){ if (whichPic<NumCount) { bLoad = true; whichpic++; } else { if (whichPic==NumCount){ [Code] .....
The slideshow on the left is the one I'm talking about, not the Flash video on right.
Anyway, to make it work, I added a whole bunch of frames between the moving images to pause it - to give reader time to see pictures and words - then it goes on to next one. instead of doing it this way, I am wondering if I can just put an action of some kind on a frame to tell it to pause for X number of seconds, then play again?
I'm very new to Flash and actionscripting, I work in CS3 with as3. I want the sound to fade out smoothly (volume gradually decrease) when clicking on the stop-button. I have really tried searching the Internet for topics on this, but can't manage to implement anything in my prodject that works. [code]...
I have a menu set up so that when you rollover a button it brings an image to the top that corresponds with that button. This is currently set up by using swap depths. The problem is that I want the layer to fade to the top instead of just popping to the top. I turned the layers into MCs and put fades inside the MCs and that works with the code to bring the layer to the top and fade in. But when it does come to the top and fade in, it's deleting whatever layer was previously on top rather then fading overtop of it, so when the new layer comes to the top, you can see the very bottom layer is it fades in...
I am working on using AS3 to do my tweens, rather than working solely on the timeline.
Just a quick question, say I have a logo... when I get to frame 5 I want that to fadeIn. I have the AS3 to tween it in, however, I am not sure what I assign my function to?
I am just trying to get my as3 tweening skills locked down around the basics. So, for this example, I have a logo / home button fading in, this code is working for that... however, is there a way to addChild (home in this case) via the tween code, so that I do not have to add the child at alpha0 "then" fade it in?
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*; var home:Logo = new Logo();addChild (home);home.x = 400;home.y = 300;home.alpha = 0; var fadeIn:Tween = new Tween(home,"alpha",None.easeNone,0,100,200,true);
