ActionScript 2.0 :: Fade In Some Text At A Certain Point In Movie
Aug 28, 2006
I'm trying to fade in some text at a certain point in my movie. After reading the tween class tutorial, I grabbed this snipped of code, slightly modified to be:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var fadeIn:Tween = new Tween(myTextMovieClip, "_alpha", Elastic.easeInOut, 0, 100, 2, true);
Now, when I run my movie this works just fine. But the thing is, I don't want it to run until a button is clicked in the movie, and the movie clip will not be visible until that button is clicked. So how would I have this tween fire off when the button is clicked? How do I connect them?
I have a button..that at the moment loads a movie. However I need the button to fade text then load movie!! Is it as simple as combining these twp pieces of action script? How do I go about altering this to work?
I have a simple text fade movie clip that will "play" but won't work when I "Test Movie." What am I missing? I don't regularly use Flash as of yet, and have been successful before, but this is ridiculous - and I know I'm probably missing something very simple.
flash version: CS3 AS2 Im having trouble making the pages for a website im working on. I have a row of buttons, and I want each one to open its corrisponding page ie. contact_us_button to open contact_us movie clip. the thing is I want each page to transition in and out. so when I click contact us, the contact us movie clip fades in and stops. When I click about us, the contact us movie clip fades out and about us fades in.
Is the way to do this to make each page movie clip have a fade start and fade end, and have it stop before the fade end, and on another page click continue playing the current clip to get the fade out and then open the new page movie clip?
I have a tweened movie which plays on a loop. A click on the image area stops the movie and the image fades nicely from alpha 100 to alpha 0. A second click brings the image back immediately to alpha 100 and the clip continues. I would like the movie image to fade back in from alpha0 to alpha 100 before it re-starts; (the reverse of the fade out). At the moment the re-appearence of the image is a crude jump. So far my ill informed tinkering has not worked.
how to do this effect.I have a movie instance named "sparkles_mov" as in internal movie, not loading externally.It's placed multiple times on the stage.I need an AS code for the first frame of the entire stage that makes all instances fade in at a specific frame number (5), last for XXX amount of seconds and then all of the instances to fade out at a specific frame number (70).Is this possible? I have all instances fading in using this AS code placed on the frame that they enter on but the fade out never works, the just abruptly disappear:
This is very Newb. I'm having issues using Tweener, AS2, AS3. I'm trying to have 3 movie clips fade in and out sequentially, each one fading in over 2-3 seconds, staying on screen for 6 seconds, then fading out. I would like all 3 clips to loop. Im trying to use Tweener for the first time.
I have a menu (mc_menu) with 6 button mc's (btn_home, btn_about, ..........btn_contact) I also have 6 containerson the stage (content_home, content_about, ..........content_contact)Right now I'm loading different external swf's(home, about,......contact) with the following AS code:
I this file: It's Here (FLA) and it's made me completely lost. When you download it, you can clearly see my intentions, I was trying to get each text box to fade out and then another one to fade in when a button was clicked but for some reason the home text box has a little bit to much fun and keeps appearing every third time you click a button, by the way, I haven't set up the last button yet,
I'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeking, but basically I have a movie loaded in a clip and when the user clicks a button, I want the loaded movie to perform some kind of action (fade out or whatever) while the new movie is loaded.
I am looking for a way to fade in a white movie clip over my main movie when a button is pressed.
(i.e. When you press a button, a white rectangle will fade in over all other layers and then fade out after a couple of seconds. This is to make it look like the different pages are fading in and out without having to build the transition over and over again.)
this is used to load a movie on an event right:[code] what if I want to load a movie simply at a certain point in the movie, ie a keyframe, what is the code applied to the keyframe and why/how is it different?
There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
I can't get a simple fade to work, despite research and trial & error.My procedure (FYI):
- I create a layer just for this fade object. - I drag a .gif image from the Library to the stage in this layer. - I convert it to a symbol (tried Button & Movie symbols.Graphic symbol not an option because I need to reposition the object programatically). - I select the first frame in this layer, select the symbol, and set its Alpha to 0%. - I select another frame in this layer and Insert Keyframe. - I select the symbol again and set its Alpha to 100%. - I select the range of frames from start to end keyframe, I right-click this range, and I insert a Classic Tween (I've tried Motion Tween as well).
Bottom Line:
-When I try Control --> Play, the fade works perfectly. -When I try Control --> Test Movie, the fade never happens and the symbol remains invisible.
Why would the fade work in Play but not in Test Movie?What step is missing/wrong in getting this fade to work?
I imported five movie clips in my timeline. Three of these clips works seamlessly fine with the fade in code snippet however the other 2 which I took from a video camera, does not fade in and I don't know why? I converted all these clips to a .FLV file as well
Have been fiddling around for some time now and just can't seem to fade out my movie clip, the same way that I have faded it in. I have this AS already on it, am not sure if I should set the alpha or if I need to do something more complicated.
I will be loading a movie clip, into a container just to the left of the portfolio elements.What I want to happen is, in my Loaded MC I want to be able to click on the thumbnail, and in the parent movie clip ( the one you select the portfolio elements from).I want a Movie clip to fade in on top of everything. but Im having a few errors.IN my parent file Ive created and named a blank movie clip .the script inside of the satellite MC is :
but it unloads the satellite MC and replaces it with the swf, rather than inserting it in my target movie clip in the parent page.I cannot use _root in this instance, and Ive tried adding "_parent._parent".. im at a loss here.....
How do you make a movie clip fade out when the cursor enters the stage, but then fades back in once the cursor has left the stage? Is the same method then used with buttons?
i am having trouble with adobe flash player. the web page is
[URL]
ign_tutorial_fade-in_and_fade-out_effect.php3, and i have tried this, and it is not working. the text just sits there. did i do something wrong, or is the software (flash player) not working properly?
I only got into Flash after AS3 so I am pretty ignorant of AS2.I'm editing a client's piece and am trying to create a 'Play Again' button at the end of the movie. There is a button inside the main content movie clip with this code on it but it is not working..
movie clip's alpha to fade to 0 when the cursor enters the stage, and then when it leaves the stage to blend back up to 100% (or do you say '1'?)So far this is the code and FollowTxt will fade out but not back in:
var myFrame:Frame = new Frame(); var myHelp:Help = new Help(); var myFollowTxt:FollowTxt = new FollowTxt();
