ActionScript 2.0 :: Alpha Change All Buttons On Rollover
Jan 9, 2010
I have a bunch of thumbnails which I want to be treated the same on rollover/rollout/press. Right now, I have it working so that the alpha changes on all of them on rollover/rollout/press, but to do that, I have a code for each individual thumbnail, and I know there has to be a way to just have one code that applies to all of them instead of repeating so much (but I'm just not sure how to do it). This is what I have right now:
Im very new in the flash business and i started making a gallery after this videoi get 2 errors when i write te action code for alpha change. Is it because i use ActionScript3 instead of 2? because i made it with flash CS3.
I have 2 objects on stage.a movie clip called btn1. and another movie clip called icon1.I would like to know how to script an action such that when the mouse is rolled over btn1, ...two things happen....first that icon1 scales from 0 to 100% of the size that it currently is.and secondly that it's alpha changes from 0 to 100% as it scales up.That's it.To get an idea of the entire setup... there are basically sets of these btns and icons ...and I would like the icon to appear for each button in the fashion described above when the corresponding button is rolled over.
i think this is like the 5th time i'm asking this question, i'll ask it differently this time. I just want the button to fade out on rollover. at the same time, i would like text (that is loaded externally in a text field called "caption") to fade in also on rollover.
i'll ask it differently this time. I just want the button to fade out on rollover. at the same time, i would like text (that is loaded externally in a text field called "caption") to fade in also on rollover. i've tried sooooo many things - scavenging this board and others.
Does anyone know how I can achieve the following effect: As I rollOver one object, everything on the stage except that object fades out slightly (i.e. change in alpha).
If you rollover and rollout a single instance it works perfectly. When I place two instances side by side (alterning the instance name for each script obviously) and move the mouse over each of them the script falls to pieces, with one instance stopping the other and generally screwing things up!
I am having trouble with a job I am doing at the moment which has an mc with buttons within it. I want it so that when I roll over the mc it tweens from a small version to a larger version, and on this mc there are some buttons. At the moment I can get the mc to move but the buttons remain inactive and also the rollover states on the buttons don't work. I have attached a simpler version of what I am trying to do to this post.
I'm currently working on a flashsite and are trying to figure out rollover menu buttons. The site has 6 menu buttons and are placed next to each other. I want to put a rollover action on the buttons, that when you rollover a button that the whole button image enlarges and moves in front of the other.
I'm creating a menu system, the text buttons should, on rollover, move all buttons to the left (of the button currently rolled over) 100 pixels, in the gap created a sub menu running vertically will appear which will break into a 2nd horizontal submenu etc. I'm still in the early stages, and have hit a stumbling block, I placed a trace (this); cmd in root of the roll over function then again in each segement of the IF/ELSE loop inside that fuction. The trace CMD in the root of the rollover gives me the feed back _level0.btn1 or 2 or what ever button I have rolled over but the ones inside the IF/ELSE loop all say _level0.btn0 regardless of the button I roll over!
I have created a finite menu and it works fine, the only problem is that now I want to have the menu set to 50% alpha and when the user moves the mouse over the menu it gradually increases to 100%
I want to reduce the alpha of a movie clip when mouse is rollOver the movie , the alpha will be continuously reducing over frames, i dont want to use tween.
[Code]...
i this code when i rollOver the mouse on a movie clip, it shows the alpha reducing over time , and at roll out alpha increases over time. but if i rollOver and rollOut in fractions of seconds , it flickers (like 60-100 instead of from the current alpha lvl), So i am looking for some code that can help me in fixing this problem.
I have two buttons without names and I'm trying to have the same exact code on each so that you can click the button and it will turn white (or look like it), and click it again and it will turn back to blue (alpha at 100).This is the code I'm using on each button:
Code: on (release){ if (_alpha == 100){ _alpha = 1;
[code]...
Unfortunately it causes both buttons to change their alpha to 0, not just the one that the code is on.Could anyone tell me why this is and how to make it so that only the button clicked is the one that has the alpha change? The reason I'm doing it this way is that I am going to end up using over 600 buttons like this, and I would much rather be able to copy and paste them in rows instead of naming them (I've already spent upwards of 45 minutes naming them A1, A2, B1, B2 and changing the code to fit).
I am trying to dynamically change the alpha value of a set of movieclips on a timer. The timer works but I get an error message from the function. This is the error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at piedacoulisse_timer_fla:MainTimeline/zoom/piedacoulisse_timer_fla:onT ime()[piedacoulisse_timer_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:124] at
Basically, I want to change the alpha value on my movieclip. I start my mc with an alpha of .08 (8%). mc.alpha = .08; What I then want to do is increment it to .9 (90%) and when it hits that, decrement it back to .08, and then when it hits that, increment it again to .9 etc.
I have tried if(mc.alpha==.9){ mc.alpha -= .01; }else{ mc.alpha += .01; }
From what I understand you can change the alpha value of a textfield to be fully transparent. I would like to have chat output that fades after a while. I was wondering if there was a way to change just a portion of the string inside of a text field to transparent. The textColor does not have an alpha value. I could just use multiple text fields but I would like to avoid doing that if possible for efficiency sake.
I'm making a drawing API for my homepage. My homepage is exclusively created in Flash AS2... But I have a problem with my brush for the drawing API... I would like to change the opacity/alpha value of the brush, with keypress LEFT and RIGHT... But i can't get it to work!
Ok. I am new again so I hope I am describing this correctly. I don't know the best way to do this but this is what I've dreamed up so far: I have a number of movie clips on my screen, all thumbnail sized images, each with an instance name (ex: tw_lifeoftheparty, tw_xmen, tw_xfiles, tw_diehard, etc.).
In each movieclip there are 2 layers: the thumbnail image(bottom layer) and a black border(top layer). The black border is an object named wk_border and isin each of the thumbnail movieclips.
I have given wk_border the same instance name in each thumbnail movieclip "border"
Let me try to explain what I'm doing. I have multiple movieClips (mc_aitkin, mc_anoka, there will be a lot more) on the stage that I want to change their alpha using data from an xml when it loads. I can isolate the info I want and trace it so it shows in output, but I'm not sure how to use it from there.
I've tried to convert the xml data to a number and do an if/else as shown below, but the only output I get is "not" (from a trace). So I'm guessing the if/else isn't recognizing the xml data as a number?
If I can resolve that, the next step will be to apply this function to the large number of mc's I'll have on the stage. Would that be with something like e.currentTarget.alpha = .5; ?? I don't think I can put it in the same changeAlpha function because there the property of 'e' would be undefined.[code]...
I want to make a button to change the alpha of an instance but I dont know how to make it.
Thats what I want: When I click the button, then the movie clip appears (alpha 100)When I click the button again, then the movie clip disappears (alpha 0)
I've been trying to change an MCs alpha with actionscipt. the movies FPS is 30. Here's the as: onClipEvent(load) { var alpha = blue._alpha; alpha = 50; var forwardA = true; var changeA = true; [Code] ..... Btw, "blue" is the MC that I want to change the alpha of, and this code is on that MC.
