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?
View 9 RepliesThe 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?
View 1 RepliesI 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
"slider._y = slide_area._y;
slider.onPress = function(){
startDrag(slider, true, 0, slide_area._y, slide_area._width, slide_area._y);

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:
Code:
pauseDelay = 6000;
this.fadeInSpeed = 3;

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...

View 3 RepliesI'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
{

how I might restructure this to get a the visual results I want in the most efficient manner?
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();

I have a very simple main.swf with buttons in a mc. once a button is clicked it loads and external swf file into x y pos.
How can I set it up so when the external swf loads with a fade in and the other one fades out?
This is my existing code now!
var Xpos:Number = 0;
var Ypos:Number = 75;
var swf:MovieClip;

how I might be able to accomplish this with this code. This code is from [URL] it works great but just need it to fade in and out the swf files.
I am loading mp3 files from php into Flash based on when a user clicks a link of audio files to listen too. I would like for the audio to start fading out 10 seconds before it finishes.how I can determine when a song will end and create a timer around this.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
[Code]...
could someone with scripting a fadein/fadeout transition for external swfs between the button clicks or suggest another way to do it?
View 1 RepliesI 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 get that Flash glitch of the movie jumoing like one pixel over after alpha transition from actionscript
View 1 RepliesI've used AS2.0 to build my site. I have several .jpgs that I'm loading dynamically on my flash site from my server. For some reason only some of the .jpgs are loading pixelated. I've tried to look up solutions to this, but I'm not exactly sure where a quality=best or smoothing=true script should be placed. And I'm equally as puzzled as to why only some of my .jpgs are loading pixelated? This is very frustrating, this is the code I'm using to load my images:
loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9);
How would I scroll dynamicall loaded images. I would like to use XML but that not required.
View 0 RepliesI want to fade in a background with a alpha tween after it's loaded in by an UILoader. Everything seems to be working great when I do a Test Movie (in Flash) or view it in IE. However, I encounter a problem when viewing in Firefox. Somehow the alpha does'nt come up to 1(100%). Sometimes my background image is barely visable and sometimes it's at ~90%. It seems to be completely random.

I've tried increasing the final value (Regular.easeOut,0,1,2,true) and this will change something but doesn't solve the problem. I've also tried instead of fading in the background to fade out a overlaying vectorshape, but same result.Is it possible it has something to do with other script/my background img size/??.
I have several images that are loaded dynamic.Now I want them to center in the container.How is that done? I can get the width and height but I can't adjust the x values on the loaderinfo object. Heres part of the code:

My header animates then dissapears.
Then after about 2 seconds the dynamically loaded image appears, is there a way to preload the image before the end of the animation?
My code that doesnt work is:

function loading(e:Event){

as you surely know, setting a picture in your library to "allow smoothing" makes it high quality while resizing, rotating, etc with it on the scene.
Now I'd like to know how to set this to a picture you externally load while playing, cause obviously you can't set its parameter "allow smoothing" to true in the library, it'll never be in your library...
I found one thing that draws a bitmap, copies the pict, etc, but it's very slow at usage. I need something faster but the quality of the image must be perfect.
I'm trying to add a preloader to my code (see below) to preload my images:
// for loop
for (p=0; p<401; p++) {
// create array to load images from folder

For the life of me, I cannot get any rollovers to work with the images that have been loaded from XML. I can target them and set the _alpha and whatnot, but rollover/out/press functions don't seem to work :[ I've tried many different ways... does anyone see what's wrong?

Is there a way to modify the code below to make the spacey = a variable + 15 so that the dynamically loaded images can vary in height and be spaced 15px apart?

spacey = 420;

I have a working AS2 banner that loads in an array of images into a movieclip using flashvars and then cycles through these (there's no limit on the array length).
Unforunately, the images couldn't alpha tween into eachother as the AS2 script needs to be seperated onto sperate keyframes in order to count through the array.
I've created another movieclip which loads in the 'next' image in the array, so that when the current image fades down, the next fades up.
So to break down:
bannerContainer_mc - loads current image
nextContainer_mc - loads next image
Unfortunately when the timeline loops to the start again, bannerContainer_mc loads in the image which was previously loaded into nextContainer_mc. This creates a 'jolt' in the animation as the same image is re-loaded.
Is there any way of perhaps caching nextContainer_mc at the end of the banner sequence, to save loading it again in bannerContainer_mc?
I have created a custom 3d wall gallery and I would like to mask it to give it right and left fades. I have posted the code that places the images on the stage but for the life of me I cannot mask it. Themc in the library mask_mc already has the correct gradient so now how do I add it to the top of the dynamic gallery?
Code:
private function viewCarousel():void {
viewport = new Viewport3D(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight, false, true);
addChild(viewport);[code]......
if it's possible to apply mask over images loaded with loadMovie(), be it physical or through setMask.
