ActionScript 2.0 :: Three MovieClips On Stage - Fading Loaded Images
Jun 9, 2010
I'm still new to flash and I'm working on image transition. I have 3 movie clips on the main stage, frame 1. The 3 clips are called 'mc1', 'mc2' and 'mc3'. I've managed to load images in to the 3 movie clips by calling a php script (Select.php) to pass the image paths back to my flash movie in an array. This is all the actionscript I have on frame 1:
Code:
myVars = new LoadVars()
// Load the vars from the external Php file
myVars.load("Select.php")
myVars.onLoad = function(success) {
// Split the variables
[Code] .....
This seems to work ok. Now I want to fade the images in rather than have them just pop up. I think I'll need to put in some kind of pause to wait until the images are loaded before I try any fading but I don't know how to do that. What I need to do to fade my images in once they have loaded rather than just have them pop up?

my Flash file loads 1 of 6 random images onto the stage when it loads using the following code, how can I make the random images fade onto the stage? Starting at alpha 0 and ending at 100?
[code]
var myClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mcl", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var myLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

I'm still an amateur at flash (more precisely, actionscript), how to do a simple gallery with static thumbnails which, when clicked, dynamically load an image into an empty movie clip, fading in and out (using actionscript)? By that I mean, click on a thumbnail, main image fades in, click on another thumbnail, loaded image fades out, image of clicked thumbnail fades in. Is it possible? I have successfully achieved thumbnails that load an image externally using both XML and using the ordinary loadMovie function, opting in the end for the loadMovie function and modifying AnaS' [URL] code (some of his comments are still in there). The reasons being that I'm not particularly concerned if I can't use XML for this, but I do want the images to load externally to save space.
I figure that the thumbnails are small enough in file size for me to afford to put them in, but just in case anyone think that XML is better for the job, I'm also including my XML file. On top of AnaS' code, I have added an if-else statement (lines 13-21) but, as I have said before, I'm an amateur, so I can get my head around the 'if' part of the statement, but haven't figured out the 'else' section (namely, the fade out). From what I have seen (I've been looking for the solution for a long time), most people just settle for fading the image either in or out, but rarely both. If there IS a gallery with both fades, it is usually done professionally and the code is either unavailable or goes over my head.
How to click on a thumbnail and load and unload the image using in and out fades. I have seen something which is almost what I need (both fade in and fade out are present) in the form of Kirupa's XML gallery, but I wanted to make mine just the bare essentials and really simple (i.e., no carousel/sliding effects). I just noticed that there is no tutorial for something like this. Kirupa has two very, very good tutorials (the XML portfolio, which is very simple, and the XML gallery with the slide, which is quite advanced) but not an 'in-between' one, such as the one I'm trying to create. [URL]. I have an empty movie clip ('loader') and three thumbnails ('thumb1', 'thumb2' and 'thumb3') on the stage.
My code:
this.onEnterFrame=function() {
if (loader._alpha <100) {
loader._alpha += 5;
} /*else {
if (loader._alpha > 0) {
loader._alpha -= 5;

I am trying to build a image-gallery-type picslider class. I have a playlist.xml whose architecture should be clear from the URLLoader stuff in my code. What I aim to do is to load 3 initial images into MoviClips and place the three in an array.Then, I'll manipulate the array to allow the user to flip left or right between images, while loading others offscreen.What I am hiving trouble with is loading multiple images into MCs using the Loader object inside a loop. When I run the code below, only the last image loaded appears inside a MC on the stage.Do I need to dynamically create loaders for each iteration?
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;[code]......

I use the following code to load some banners: a "banner" is a clickable PNG image. I get the URL it must point to through a parameter of the AdLoader class.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
[Code].....
In practice, I create some MovieClip containers (loader_1, loader_2, etc.) and in each container I want to load one image.
What happens: when the images are loaded I want to position each image at the y+10 pixel of the preceding, so if the first is at y:0 and its height is 140, I want the second image at y:150 (and so on). I can't understand what it happens but sometimes the code works, while most of the time it doesn't.

how to dectect if all the desired movieclips have been loaded onto the stage.
For example I have externally loaded 6 movieclips onto the stage as a result of a click action. What I want to do is when all 6 movieclips have been loaded onto the stage I want to the then load a movieclip that says, "Congratulations, you have completed the course." But I don't know how to detect if all 6 movieclips have been loaded or not.

Everything appears to work correctly, my images are loaded and land on the stage where I want them, but I can't drag them. It seems like the event listener (that i've highlighted) isn't being applied. As a side note, I've done this same thing with loading items from the library, and it works. I copied a lot of the the code from my test project to this one and when I load the bitmaps instead of pulling them from the library, it breaks.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.Loader;

The images are to go from 1 - 20 ... Left to Right on stage. The images are named image_1 - 20 and everything is right as far as that's concerned.
Will images load according to their size before XML order? I'm loading multiple images from XML like so:
Code:
XML...
function formatXMLContent():void {
for (var i:int = 0; i < tourID.length(); i++) {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

I've got two SWF files where one control what happens in the other using LocalConnect and would like to use opacity changes to make a nice transition between two movieclips in the receiving file. I want the two movieclips to fade nicely so I can't animate it because that would make a brake just as i hit the button.
This is the code in the SWF that sends the information.
Code:
btn01.onRelease = function() {
var sending_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
sending_lc.send("lc_name", "methodToExecute", {targetName:"mc01", action:"play01"});
};

I'm trying to fade in and out some movie clips using the Tween class, but am having problems. I have the following code which fades in my movie clips:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
// Fade in and out
var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(wds_mt, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 100, false);
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(wds_sf, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 150, false);
var myTween3:Tween = new Tween(wds_hush, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 120, false);
var myTween4:Tween = new Tween(wds_10, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 300, false);
var myTween5:Tween = new Tween(wds_uf, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 210, false);
However, I need to fade them out and then loop the fade in-out animation forever.

Below I have actionscript that plays movieclips in my library at random. How can I add to this to blend(fade) the movieclips into each other so that when the movieclip is done, it doesnt fade to white it simply fades/blends into the next movieclip/slide?
Code:
var MCs = new Array("mc1", "mc2", "mc3", "mc4", "mc5");
var selectedMC = MCs[Math.floor(Math.random() * MCs.length)];

I'm trying to trigger some events (fading of nearby movieclips) based on cue points of a currently playing FLV. I'm using the FLVPlayback component (not Netstream) and have added cue points from inside flash (so they're "Actionscript" type). I actually found a nice article here: [URL] but it's AS2. To put it simply, let's say I have the following:
1) FLVPlayback component which has a parameter called "movie.flv" for the clip that it's supposed to play.
2) The instance of the component is called "movie_inst".
3) There are 2 cue points added through the component's parameters rollout, one called "point1", another called "point2".
What's the simplest code to tell flash "when you get to point1 I want you to do ___"?

how to have say... 5 images fading from one to another, looping using action script. I found a tut which does it using tweening, that's simple enough but apparently action script will reduce the file size and make it smoother.

I'm trying to do an animation in which 4 images will fade from one to the other. The problem is that they need to fade on a button command as opposed to a timed base. Meaning... there will be four buttons on top of the images, pretty much like onbut instead of the images going away and then having the new one come in, they have to fade from one to the other. Since the user can go from one to the next randomly, the image that's displaying has to fade out and the image whose number the user clicked has to fade in on top.

The problem is that my fading routine does not work. One image loads, and the next one appears straight away when it is finished loading.

I'm currently working on this site, which was made on a linear timeline and just rewinds and fast fowards to the frame with each page on [URL]
This was done with limited Actionscript, but now I need to redo it almost entirely in AS
I figure I need to keep everything on one frame (separate vertical frames, but no animation horizontally) and create movieclips for each page's content and tell it to fade in the content of whatever page is clicked on the nav, and fade out the rest. I will also need to do the same, but with the background images in fullscreen. I also have a problem with the bottom nav. It adjusts to window height on resize, but I can't get it to adjust automatically.
So how do I
1. Tell the movieclips to fade in and out when a button is clicked
2. Get the background images to fit full screen, and also fade in/out for each page
3. Get a movieclip to adjust to screen size without using onResize

I have an main index.swf that loads external swfs. In these external swf timelines I have fade ins of its content and artwork, so what I'm trying to do is simply have these swfs load over the current loaded one without starting from a blank space, and then I'll remove the replaced swf with removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);. But I can't figure out how to get the clips to load over each other with my current code.
I'm attempting this by loading them into movieclips. I can't quite figure it out using muliple Loader's, which I'm sure is a way to acheive this.
What happens thus far: the loading swfs replace the current loaded swf, but the loaded swf is blank every other click, and even without the alpha event handler code the swf just replaces the current swf in its movieclip from blank space.

I've always struggled with this for some reason, but say I have 5 images loading from XML. How would I make it so they would cross fade each other on an endless loop? I can make it so it gets to the end by loading them on top of each other and then fading each one out, but once I get to the end I'm lost.
