The thing should work like this: theres a movie clip in frame 10 of the timeline with two buttons inside, by clicking one of them the movie should jump to frame 15 and take the alpha of two Mc there (they are inside a different movie clip) to 0. This is what ie been trying (code on the button, btw):
on (release) {
McScene2.lettuce._alpha = 0;
McScene2.pumpkin._alpha = 0;

how to increase the alpha of a movie clip when you rollover a button.
View 1 RepliesI know how to change the alpha of one movie clip at a time on rollover, rollout, and release. But I'm a bit stuck trying to figure out how I would change the alpha of multiple movie clips, when one is clicked. It's for a simple photo gallery and I want all the thumbnails to darken once one has been clicked & the image is loading. I can't just fake it by having a somewhat transparent black movie clip appear over everything, because I need the alpha of each thumbnail to be able to change again once people roll over a new thumbnail.(a section of my code is included for reference but there are like 30 thumbnails so I didn't include it all, the code is the same for everything)
Code:
thumb_001.onRollOver = over;
thumb_001.onPress = down;
thumb_001.onRollOut = out;
thumb_001.onRelease () {

I want to create another button on the main menu of my flash site. I want to take one of the existing buttons (which are set as movie clips) and modify it to show a different menu name and page link. BUT when I go into my library and "duplicate" my movie clip, change the instance name, drag it to the stage and attempt to modify it, the original changes as well. I need to keep the original the same and create a new one with the same code, frames, etc but with different static text. I keep going in circles
View 1 RepliesI 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'm having trouble getting my movieclips to have trails that fade behind it. I'm having the dupilcate movieclips delete themselves once their alpha reaches a certain point. what's wrong with my code? I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the counters. You can view my fla here: [URL]

View 5 RepliesI'm new to action script and was wondering how to change the alpha of a movieclip from 0 to 100% gradually or instantly when the mouse is moved ( like the navigation bar on a media player) when the mouse is still i want the alpha to be at 0, i am totally new to actionscript but am familiar with code syntax.
View 2 RepliesI have a button and when this button is clicked, I want it to make a box which is a movie clip to ease alpha out.
newsButton.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("News");
};
would like to know the AS code for getting a movieclip object to move to a specific x,y position on stage and change its alpha at the same time... would be nice if the movement was done with a nice tweening also.
View 3 RepliesWhen a movie clip is clicked on, another movie clip will fade out.The problem is that the clip that needs to fade out just disapears in a second, is there a way to controll the speed.I read a lot of info about this for complicated setups, is there a simple fix for this.I was hoping I could just do this designR_mc._alpha = 0/4;But that does not work.HERE IS THE CODE
design_mc.onRelease = function()
{ designR_mc._alpha =0;

This works great: loader2.lettercontainer.letter_mc1._y=50;
But this doesn't do anything: loader2.lettercontainer.letter_mc1._alpha=50;
The movieclip "letter_mc1" contains a createTextField with one letter in it. I'm completely lost why this isn't working....
I have 3 mc's that I have placed a tween on that fades them from 0% - 100% Alpha (simple fade-in effect). The animations are fine if I test the movie within Flash. However, after publishing, I lose all those tweens in my swf, and all I see are abrupt changes from 0% - 100% alpha. What could I be doing wrong?

View 5 RepliesI've been trying to find this topic on the internet for what seems like forever but haven't had any luck. What I'm trying to do is remove a child movie clip and have an alpha transition when it is removed.
What I have so far can be found at: [URL]
Basically what I'm trying to do is when the video player is closed, instead of simply disappearing, I want it to fade to an alpha value of zero
this is the code I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
stop ();
MC_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vimeo_embed);
function vimeo_embed (e:MouseEvent):void {
var OpenEmbedPlayer:Vimeo_MC_PU = new Vimeo_MC_PU();

how I can use the location of the mouse to control the alpha of a movie clip. I have 3 images that are the full stage width/height. One image will be in the background and does not need to be changed. However the other images I want to fade in when the mouse is moved from the middle to the left or the right. So I know I need to set a min and max value to be the range of the alpha, but I have never worked with mouse position before. I can't use the mouse over function like many tutorial's show due to images being full screen.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to get in the habit of using AS in the first frame on the main timeline as much as possible. but sometimes i hit a snag. like getting a movie clip to change it's alpha when it hits a certain frame in an attached MC.
View 8 RepliesI have a gallery made of 3 layers : actions, buttons, and images. Fore every image i have a keyframe that plays a movie clip by fading from 0 alpha to 1. I made a new keyframe that has no image so the page doesnt display the big photo from the start just the thumbs(which are the buttons). What i want to do is that the big images to be dispalyed only while i hold the mouse button, and on release to go back to the first frame state (no image).
View 3 Replies1) In the attached file, I have a movie clip that quickly comes across the top of the screen (following a short distance). I want it to start out with 0 alpha and i want it to fade in to 100 alpha. However, I want to do this using Actionscript while I'm EASING the movie clip. I'm trying to NOT use the timeline and do automated tweens for this function. If I combine them, it compliles but the output gets all messed up.
2) The quality of the text shown as the movie clip is not the same as how it looks in FLASH. I jacked up the quality of the output to 100% and it's still the same. any reason why?
for example:
var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
mc.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,0.5);
mc.graphics.drawRect(0,0,100,100);

I'm working on a scrolling game for my multimedia class, and I want to be able to have the player choose the colour of their character. Rather than having three separate classes (which would result in having three copies of all the code), i wanted to know if I could set a hue value instead. This is what I have so far (for one of the three buttons) :
Frame 1:
Code:
var rPlayerColour:Number = 1;
addChild(blueBut);
blueBut.x = 10;
blueBut.y = 385;

I created a movie clip which loops some text, i would like to populate the stage with instances of it but also with some in a different colour. When I copy frames from my clip and paste them into a new symbol(movie clip) the colour of the other instances changes as well.
View 1 RepliesI want to change variables on the main stage's code from within a movie clip.
Say for example, I want to change a variable called 'chair'
In AS2, this is how I would do it:

But all I get is a 1119 error saying 'Access of possibly undefined property chair through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.'
I've received an .fla file with a design and am trying to play with it using ActionScript. I've got a symbol of a star on stage (movie clip) that I want to animate with AS. The movie clip's registration point is set to bottom right corner.
How can I change the registration point in Flash?
I'm trying to get AS to change the colour of several MC's - but it's not working... I wondered if anyone could please tell me where I've gone wrong? I have 5 large MC squares - when hovered/rolled over they reveal text/colour within. That part works!
What I am trying to achieve is: When rolling over 1 of the squares (i.e. sq1) to tint the colour of the other 4 squares to grey - so that the one that is hovered over is full colour, but the other 4 are greyed out. On rollout of sq1, the other 4 grey squares return to their coloured state.
I worked through the Kirupa - Changing Colours with AS tutorial, and tried to apply that to my situation, but I still can't get it to work.

View 12 RepliesI am trying to create a site where the menu section will expand with sub-sections when certain buttons are clicked. I have created a main page with navigation, and a movie clip which holds the content for each page. The navigation from buttons on the main page works fine and leads to correct sections [labelled frames] within the MC. I have placed an additional button on the movie clip, it is revealed when one of the main buttons is clicked. However when this button on the MC is clicked, nothing happens.
I want to be able to move some buttons down and slot additional ones in between the existing buttons so that sub-sections are only revealed when looking at the relevant main section. I have tried to do this using the movie clip, however buttons below are not blocked and those above do not work.Here is the code I have used for the buttons - I have tried putting the sub-button code on both the scene and the MC - neither has worked.
ActionScript Code:
btn_home.onRelease = function () {
content_mc.gotoAndStop ("home");
