im using the current code on an mc to fade in
[AS]onClipEvent(load){
this._alpha = 0
fadespeed = 15;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_alpha += fadespeed;
} [/AS]
how can i make this increment until it reaches 75% instead of 100?
I have a movie clip (dnk) 7 (not key!)frames long, with 7 different objects (mc's) inside, named dnk0-dnk6.Then, on the mc (dnk) I have:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
strDnk = "dnk"+(_currentframe-1);
alpha = getProperty(strDnk, _alpha);[code]...
So, the idea is, to have this mc's (dnk0-dnk6) fading one after the other in a sequence. Which happens as it is supposed to, but what I am trying to do now, is reverse it. With no luck, as you can see from the top script .I was thinking about a solution in a way of telling when _alpha is below 0, than the _alpha would start to rise, until it reaches a hundred, then it would start to fall again.
How can I increase the _height property of a window without increase the height of the title and the bar at the top of the window ?
I want only to increase the part of the window where I put textFields and buttons.
I have 2 movieClips that I want to fade.mc 1 fades out while mc2 fades in. I want to do it in AS to keep my file size down, 'cause I will be having quite a few of this happing.I know how to have one mc fade in using:(I know this is a fade in and I can fadein/out individually)
speed = 10;
bigCalendar_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._alpha<100) {[code]......
I'm not having luck setting alpha values with _parents that contain child textFields created dynamically. The text filed doesn't change its _alpha with the other objects in the movie clip.
View 3 RepliesI have this code. It works fine when i press a button.
if (_root.mc._alpha == 100) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
speed = 50;[code]....
I need to know how can I trace the _alpha value of the mc and when the value is 0 a movie clip is loading in the same mc.
Does setting _alpha levels to values less than 0 or greater than 100 cause problems?I know I can program these out but I am trying to make some code as efficient as possible.

View 9 RepliesI'm using AS2 (Flash 8), and I created a subclass of MovieClip - Card and attached an instance to the stage using attachMovie. However, I can't seem to make it invisible using _visible. Using _alpha works, however, but I would like to use _visible instead. where the problem might be? Here's the relevant code:

One more thing, what are the events for when the mouse cursor enters or leaves a MovieClip? I've tried onRollOver and onRollOut, but those are apparently not the correct events...
I have created a movieClip and placed two dynamically created text fields within it. These fields use embedded fonts and work when I first add text and the format to themThe issue I'm having happens when I change the _alpha of the containing movieClip to 0. After that I can not get the text to appear again, even though the _alpha on the containing clip traces out to 100.I am not using the tween class on the textFields or containing clip to achieve the _alpha. I am however using the tween class elsewhere.
View 9 RepliesI was trying to make a menu for a game, (and I succeded, it works fine) when I noticed that if I store a clip name in a string var I can't I acess it's alpha with varName._alpha (?) or some other ways I tried.
Is there anything wrong in my code, or is there a way to do it that isn't the one I'm trying?
The way I'm doing it, I have a MovieClip for each screen, that in turn contains all the MovieClips and Buttons, etc, that each screen must contain. So sometimes I must specify the path to things with "_root.MovieClipName.thatThing._blah". Although I think this has nothing to do with my problem there, since the vars are all declared in the stage's timeline...
If you don't quite understand how the functions work, here's a call swapScreen function example: swapScreen("overlap", "OptionsScreen", "options");
If "swap", it removes the screen I'm in, and attaches another one in place. If "overlap" it overlaps the current screen with an overlaper screen (like opening the Options menu ingame). restoreScreen() restores to the previous screen that has been overlapped.
ActionScript Code:
function swapScreen(swapType:String, ID:String, screen:String):Void
{
if (swapType == "swap")
{

I'm trying to fade a piece of text that I'm loading via XML in and out (as well as moving it's location in and out).* The fade out part is working fine, and as long as I have a _alpha.100 command where I'm currently calling my "slidein" function (really the fade in function) it works fine. No idea why! I've tried about 100 different placements and I'm stumped.. It's very perplexing.*

I have a dynamic text box and i want to mask it but its not working. i remember once someone was showing me something that had to be done to a dynamic text box to get _alpha effects on them and I wonder if its the same thing. Problem is, I don't know what that "thing" is.

How to make _root.caption Fade in and fade out with Image. Without Blink.
In my app I fade a movieclip, and when that movieclip reaches _alpha=0, I want it to send out a signal to let another movie clip begin to fade in.
How do I do this? Is it something even remotely like:
Code:
firstMC.on(_alpha==0) = secondMC.beginFade;
???
EDIT: I don't want to put any code on movie clips -- my code all runs from the root/main timeline.
On frame 1 i have
Code:
var mc_top:MovieClip;
mc_top._alpha = 68;
And after our hero dies i have this code in frame labeled "die"
Code:
gotoAndPlay(1);
also tried
Code:
gotoAndStop(1);
But now the _alpha setting isn't shown??

View 4 RepliesI have eight images in a MC that I would like to sequentially fade in, display for a few seconds and fade out using _alpha function. So far I can fade one in with this AS:
img1._alpha=0
img1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha +=10;
}
Assuming my instances are img1, img2, img3, etc, etc... how would I go about sequentially fading each instance from 0 to 100, letting it display on the stage for a few seconds and then fade out (like a slideshow)?
It's a simple site with five sections, each one containing an XML slideshow that was created with modified code from the Photo Slideshow Using XML and Flash tut.The in-progress site is temporarily hosted here: http:[url]....everything works fine on the initial load. But if you navigate to one of the other sections (which are not yet complete), then try to get back to the first page (clicking on Home is supposed to work), all that is shown is a black box (used on the site to transition from one section to another).
As you can also see, this problem does not occur when navigating back and forth between sections 2-5.I think I have the problem isolated to a conflict between the _alpha controls on the blackFader and picture_SEC1...
Code:
stop();
//define and set current section variable

why this makes all the created movieClips have an _alpha = to 20, instead of just the one I RollOver?
mainBar.onRollOver = function()
{
mainBar._alpha = 100;
}
mainBar.onRollOut = function()
{
mainBar._alpha = 0;
}
My mainBar(movieClip type) consists of several buttons. If i don't put the codes above, the buttons would work as per normal. but if i put these codes, the buttons do not respond when i click on them. I want to make the mainBar, which is some sort of a control bar, transparent when the mouse cursor is not over it. when the mouse cursor is over it, then it will re-appear. but the buttons on the control bar doesn't seem to work when i try to use this feature.
In the library, I have a movie clip - DraggableButton that has OnPress with StartDrag with parameters and OnRelase with StopDrag. I have a slider with this Draggable button and a bar to slide the button on. I also have two movie clips Clip1 and Clip2. In my main movie I have two instances MC1 and MC2 of Clip1 an Clip2. I have an instance of the Slider. I want to set the _alpha property of MC1 and MC2 depending on the location of the button on the slider.
I think I need to save the location (_x) of the button on the slider in a variable in the OnRelease even of DraggableButton and use this variable in the SetProperty method. I need to know in which event and which object's event should I use the SetProperty method. Or if what I am thinking is not correct what do I need to do?
how to change the volume, asking how to detect the actual volume (not the set 100 volume) of music/sounds. does flash even detect the actual volume output? So when the volume is 0 (e.g. maybe at the end of a song) the ._alpha is 0, so all I need is a variable for the output volume of a song.

I need to convert a value that I have loaded from an ArcGIS Server and convert it to a percentage. The data loads just fine and on the mouse over I see the correct data I just need to make it a percentage on line 27.

I have a vertical list of movieclips added to the stage all spaced out evenly from top to bottom based of the last movieclips position. I also have defined a center Y point which I would like to find out the percentage of each clip away from that center point. The reason for this number is to scale everything from the center point which is scale 1 then they next item from the center would scale to a percentage from the center point. each clips scaling percentage would be based off of how far they are from the center point in each direction. Keeping in mind the center point is always scale to 1. I also want to make sure my scale never goes below 0.3 so the range has to be between 0.3 and 1 my centerY is also not half the height of the content but a number I decide. AS it the content might be 1000 in height but the center point could be set to 300.
