I have this actionscript which works perfectly for a little xml gallery. But What I am trying to do is get a simple alpha transition to work when you select another picture.

i have a flex app that transitions between 2 states with the toggle of a button. my issue is that the effect of fading only seems to work on the 2nd transition and after. However, for my first transition... going from State1 to studyState... there is no fade effect whatsoever, in fact the components in state1 disappear completely (the footer fills the empty gap where the "body" use to be) and then the flex recreates the studyState (without any fade refilling the "body" with components only in studyState). After this first transition however, going between studyState and State1 working COMPLETELY fine.. why does this happen and how can i make it so that crossfade works STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST TRANSITION?[code]

gary_btn.onRelease = function(){
imageLoader.content._visible = false;
nailLoader.content.unloadMovie();
empty_mc.unloadMovie();
for the either of the following unload lines (or perhaps the above .visable=false) is there a way to actionscript so that the movie (swf), unloads with a transition from 100 alpha to 0 alpha, (opaque to transparent) and therefore create a smooth transition out, as opposed to a rapid disappear? perhaps a 1/2 or 2/3 of a second or 15-20 frames at 30 fps?
nailLoader.content.unloadMovie();
empty_mc.unloadMovie();
I have visited the [URL]. I like the most of the things in this site but the only thing which really amazed me is the navigation bar. On mouse over the menu the background picture transition take place. I guess there are three pictures, and they are doing it with the Action script.
View 6 RepliesI have an alpha transition on a series of buttons. There are no eventListeners. But for some reason, the transition stops when the cursor moves over buttons while in mid transition. I don't undersand it. There is no code to change the buttons or even to listen for the cursor or buttons.
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to figure out a way to add a transition script to my existing AS2 code so I can make my MC (picture) transition each time a new photo is called. Using Flash CS4 and calling images through an XML document. The code works perfectly right now, except it only uses the "fade alpha" technique as an image transition. I need to use a different transition method. I prefer something a little funky if possible, but ultimately I need something like the built in "Blinds" compnent to work. Here is the current code:

I understand from reading various forums that if you do not embed the font in to the movie the dynamic field
won't fade with alpha. But when I try to enbed the font or setting embedFonts = true the text just disappears.
I have the text now with a tween just to show that the tween is working while the alpha is not.
This is the link to the SWF:

Is it possible to get a 'feathered' mask in Flash CS4 where the edges of the mask gradually transition to 0 alpha? I tried to set this up by creating drawing a shape with the pen tool, turning into a movieclip, then filling the original outline with a white (or lime green) center to black on outside, with the outside fading to an alpha value of zero. When I apply this as a mask, however, the borders are completely sharp rather than the layer below being 'partially' masked.
View 2 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();

I was using CS3 and Flash 8 (macromedia).I am working on a file that was created in maybe flash cs3 or perhaps flash 8, from another developer.It shows tweens on the time line.The developer created fade tweens, with names like "Transform 1" etc.The fades are on symbols (the developer converted jpegs to a symbols)from 100 percent to 0 percent alpha.I can see the fade go from 100 to 0, but I am unable to see the "alpha" properties when I select the symbol or the tween in the timeline.The tween is displayed in the timeline as a line with an arrowhead at the keyframe when the visibility goes to zero.I do not seem to be able to see the properties for the tween, i.e. 100 in keyframe 1, to 0 in keyframe 20.No information shows in the CS4 "Motion Editor".
I created a tween in a layer that I added, and it seems that CS4 no longer show the lines with arrowheads, but uses a different color for the tween range.And I get the motion properties in the "Motion Editor".I am sure it is pilot error here.Since I just installed CS4, etc.How can I view tween properties, like alpha on a symbol created in an earlier version of Flash?
I'm trying to do a cross-fade transition in Flex between two states, both containing a VideoDisplay object. The problem is that the default CrossFade effect takes a bitmap snapshot of both states and blends between the two. This means that the movies appear to be frozen for the time of the transition. Does anybody know of a solution that uses a PixelBender (GPU-accelerated) method of fading between two movies? My other option is to manually re-order the video objects and change the alpha of the top one, but this uses a lot of CPU (in my case ±300%)...

I have a vector circle and what to do the following: I'd like to animate it with tweenlite so it looks like a shockwave of an explosion. At first it fades in (from 0 to .5) and gets scaled and when it reaches half of the total animation time it fades out but it still gets scaled (hope you know what I mean). Currently it looks horrible because I don't know how to get a smooth transition from part 1 to part 2 with TweenLite. My animation stops when reaching the end of part 1 and suddenly makes a jump to part 2.
Total time of animation: .75 sec
Total amount of scaling: 5
Code:
part 1 of 2:
TweenLite.to(blastwave, .375, {alpha:.5, transformAroundCenter:{scale:2.23},
onComplete:blastScaleFadeOut, onCompleteParams:[blastwave]});
part 2 of 2:
private function blastScaleFadeOut(object:DisplayObject, time:Number = .375, scaleVal:Number = 4.46) {
TweenLite.to(object, time, {alpha:0, transformAroundCenter:{scale:scaleVal},
onComplete:backgroundSprite.removeChild, onCompleteParams:[object]});
}
I want to make a picture gallery and use buttons that move you from picture to picture and backwards, but I don't want to tell button 1 to go to frame 2 and button 2 to got to frame 3 and so on (I hope you know what I mean)Can I use on button on a separate layer with the same action set? I tried something like that, but it didn't work:
on (release) {
thisframe =+1
}

but it didn't work. I'm kind of new to any action script other than gotAndPlay, easy functions and all that.

I've used this code to apply a gradient alpha mask: bg_mc.cacheAsBitmap=true;mask_mc.cacheAsBitmap=true;bg_mc.setMask(mask_mc); Then I applied a motion tween to the mask_mc clip. But the motion tween doesn't happen? It only shows the first frame of the motion tween. It does apply the alpha mask though. Why doesn't it show the rest of the motion tween.
View 9 Repliesi'd like to make an effect with "alpha", but when i'm using a particular class to set the scrollbar on my text, the text does not respond to my alpha. You'll see that the text does not respond to the alpha 0 at the beginning of the tween.
Here's my code in the fla that imports another class, which imports the scrollbar class ;-) :
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var loader:Loader = new Loader;
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Rhizo.swf");

I tried using this code because I need some mc to scale, others to fade, and others to move; but it won't work. It only allows the last function to work (in this case alpha).

I have a papervision project and this problem has kept me from going for days. I have Text3D object in my project and I have to reduce and increase the alpha property of this object , and I do it by changing the alpha property of the ViewportLayer that contains this Object. everything works fine but when I change it's text property due to some circumstances I can't work with it's alpha property anymore.
I change it's text like this:
var text1:String = "second string";
mytext3D.text = text1;
I don't (and I can't) use "useOwnContainer" and I use a defined ViewportLayer for this Text3D which I've defined like this:
var textLayer1:ViewportLayer = viewport.getChildLayer(mytext3D);
And I change the alpha property of this "textLayer1" in order to change the alpha of my Text3D object. Everything works fine till I change the text property and after that when I change the alpha of my "textLayer1" nothing happens!
This is really stupid.. But I can't get any DisplayObjects to take an alpha setting.. They remain full opaque no matter what- if I set alpha=.5, 0.0, etc. I'm using Sprites, but I've tried with TextFields and a couple other things.. Is there any setting, or anything about the containing object that would prevent me from setting alpha? I am really confused on this.
Code:
subItemHolder=new Sprite( );
subItemHolder.alpha=.50; //Remains fully opaque

I installed Flash CS4 and the alpha doesn't seem to work. I follow all the instructions to the letter but get no results. I had no problems working in Flash MX

View 2 RepliesI recently used the loadMovie action to load a .swf file to a target in the movie which it was being called from. Then I tried calling a picture to another target in the movie, but it did not load the picture as intended. I read about it on my book, but it didn't seem to work. Is there anyways on calling a picture into a target in the movie without placing the picture inside an swf file?
