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 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;
[Code].....
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'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
{
[code]....
how I might restructure this to get a the visual results I want in the most efficient manner?
The 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?

I'm working on a slide show with external SWFs. I got everything to work (almost evrything ) ...
Whwat I'm trying to do is have a nice transition.. I have the Loading SWFs Fade in... but there's still a split second of the white space under... so I was trying to have the Unloading SWF FAde out wile Loading SWF is Fading in... or something close to that.. here's the code I'm using
//Import classes for easier use
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I 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 1 RepliesFadeOut or FadeIn this dynamic text. And here is my fla file. So you can see and understand what i'm talking about.
View 3 RepliesI 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();
var xml:XML;

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 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.

I'm not having trouble doing the transition. However, I'm not doing it the way its described in the tutorial on the main site. I dont have a frame to tween to as an intro, or a frame to tween to as an "extro" when another SWF is loaded. I am having a SWF tell level0_ the dimensions of some MC right before a different MC is loaded, then level0_ tells the new loaded MC (inside the new SWF) to Tween from the dimensions it just recieved (old SWF) to the dimensions of the new loaded MC. It works great.. its completely dynamic.
The problem is that the MC flashes when the next SWF is loaded, which is obviously it resizing to the old SWF's dimensions, so it can Tween to the new dimensions. Theres got to be a way around this! I've seen dozens of sites tween perfectly, do they use the intro/extro method, or is their entire site in one SWF? or is this possible the way I want it?
heres a gander at the code:
old SWF Dimensions sent to _level0 before unloading:
Code:
_level0.tempWidth = _level5.contentBox_MC._width;
_level0.tempHeight = _level5.contentBox_MC._height;
_level0.tempX = _level5.contentBox_MC._x;

In reference to the question below I used this tutorial to accomplish some of my AS goals: http:[url]....The question based off of this tutorial is how to correctly target an external movie clip with buttons that are not on the main time line. What would be the approproiate path for the script below for the external swf (work.swf)?
on (release) { if (_root.currMovie == undefined) { _root.currMovie = "work"; container.loadMovie("work.swf"); } else if (_root.currMovie != "work") { if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) { _root.currMovie = "work"; container.play(); } } }
I 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?
right direction but theres still something I'm missing.At this point, I am able to load the initial swf into a container MC and store that info into acurMovie variable. When another button is pressed, curMovi checks if it equals event.target.name, if it doesn't equal "curMovie", it plays the existing movies outro What I thought I could do was create a conditional statement checking if the outro has reached the total frames, and if so, load the next swf. This isnī workingThis is what I have so far:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
//Load initial file

how to do the transition between scenes? instead of external swfs?
I have 2 different swfs (movie1.swf and movie2.swf) in a HTML.... When the movie2.swf finish playing (at the end there is a stop() )...... I would like to push a button replay to the movie.swf and play the movie2.swf from the beginning.....
View 1 RepliesI am working on a few websites at the moment, one of the being my online portfolio, as well as my website for a sleep product I am trying to sell. I have very little experience with AS3, last time I created a website AS2 was used. I've tried a few online tutorials, but nothing gets the job done, there is always some error..I have a index.swf which loads the default home.swf.There is also an about.swf, contact.swf, order.swf, and All I need is for the external swf to pull up when the corresponding button is clicked, and when the next button is clicked, for the current swf to unload and the new swf to load. This was so simple with AS2, one would think things might be as simple if not easier.
View 9 RepliesI am am loading external SWF files into main file from XML created menu.I want to make TRANSITIONS between loaded files, but this Kiripa tutorial does not work for me since I can not give each button sepparate code. All buttons come from xml.
At the moment If I do all by tutorial all menu buttons start to load same link which and transition works, but yeah I need menu to understand that it must load new swf not that same.I know it is possible, but I do not know how it is made, so if anyone could help me I would be very happy!

if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = _root.link[this.i].attributes.url;

} else if (_root.currMovie != link[this.i].attributes.url, "_blank" ) {

I have a site in progress, but am running into a problem with the transition that plays while external images/swfs are loaded. Before, I inserted the conditional statement, if(transLoad==0),multiple mouse clicks would result in endless children being added---Let me try to explain, I have a series of buttons which load external swfs upon Click events..ex
Code:
link1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickOne,false,0, true);

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files AND Transitions Between External SWFs MIX TOGHETER...
View 1 RepliesI recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.
View 12 RepliesI am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.
