Inside a mc on the first frame I have put the following alpha AS fade in;
[Code]...
But this last bit of code gets totally ignored and it doesnt fade out. I know it works because I have tested it in the first frame. Does the last bit of code in the first frame set the alpha for the rest of the mc and override anything else?
I have a complex window I'm designing in code. It starts as a button-like thing and once clicked, expands out to a window with text, links, and other misc. stuff. I'm designing it with all the objects to start inside the custom object (extending a MovieClip) and use tweening to expand it all out. The expansion works fine, although it's admittedly ugly..I'm running into an issue when alphaing from nothing (the button is placed over text, completely alpha'ed out to start) to 1.0. It will only start to alpha in if I have the alpha start at greater than 0, even then, when it reaches 1.0, it is NOT full alpha as it should be. Here's what I'm doing, trying to keep what I suspect to be unrelated code out:[code]the alpha of the bg (a shape) is originally set to 0, this code gives me no alpha, if I start it at 0.1, then it gives me some ...what looks like 0.3 at the most
View 5 RepliesWhat is the equivalent alpha code to setRGB?Ps Im trying to change this code so it contorls the alpha of a movie clip instance name circle the code is bellow:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_parent.alpha = (_parent.RedSlider.RedControlBar._y+122).toString(16);
if (length(_parent.alpha) == 1)
_parent.alpha = "0" + _parent.alpha;

How can I punch out a alpha hole with the blue circle in the red circle with code? I can't wrap my head around setting up the blendMode properties.
View 1 RepliesGot to the point where the hole in my AS3 knowledge is getting large!Realising I have confusion about the relationship of:Body of code on first frame of AS3 file.(Which I have so far used to create instances of library objects using addchild and make calls to class code).Is this code called the document code? What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?

Basically its a movement and hittest script for a maze. It works great but I need it running within an onEnterFrame in the frame code.
Currently the code is on a clip which contains the clip "walls". and player is on the _root timeline.

how to create the proper Actionscript code that will control the Alpha Transparency of a MC I want as a preloader. I want the MC to start of at 100% alpha-transparency, and then decrease to 0% alpha-transparency when the whole Scene is loaded. Also, it should show the precentage of the Scene loaded. I have the code that I thought would work to control the alpha transparency of the mc and loading it. But, I get confused with the perloader code to incorporate into the alpha transparency code? Does this make sense; is it possible?In Leaman's Terms, As the scene loads, the mc goes from invisible to visible at completion of the scene load.
Here is the code:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();
[code]....
Now, I have no idea if and where you'd include the poper code to control the mc's alpha transparency based on the percentage of the scene loaded? Can someome maybe rework the code to make this work. And use a working example, that way I see it working to fully understand the concept? The mc's instance name is "sm_logo". Where would I use the instance name in this code, or better yet the proper code alltogether?
I can't seem to find the correct as3 code to change a movie clip's alpha.

View 3 RepliesI have a timeline with a bunch of frames. At the beginning of my timeline (frame 2) I have actionscript that makes movieclips that are transparent (alpha 0) visible, and also some rollover and link/button code using a tween class. On frame 3 I have other movies that are visible etc. Frame 3 has stop code, and a frame anchor named "page2". For instance for the moviedclip "page_1" I have this code:

I have an exercise like a puzzle to learn how to manipulate the x and y buttons and mc position in AS 2. all the code work ok, just only I dont know how to go to the second frame when the base mc are iquall to alpha 100.
Exercise: on the left of the stage are 4 mc (base1, base2, base3, base4) with an alpha = 0. in the same place are 4 butons (tor1, tor2, tor3, tor4). And there is a button to scramble and a little code to rotate the pieces and change the counter. When I hit this button all 4 pieces change position. When I click on tor1 I have to drag it on his place marked for his xy position(base1), when I drop it, this Tor1 go to another xy position outside the stage and base1 change to alpha 100, and couter sume +1. but I don�t know how to check if all base mc are in alpha 100 and go to 2 frame. Here is the code.
stop();
_root.counter = 0;
store base symbols in array[code].....
I have 20 frames on a timeline, and a mc in the frames. Frame 1 the mc is _alpha 0%, at frame 20 the _alpha is 100%. A tween between the frames fades up the mc alpha. How can I change the frame 20 _alpha setting from outside the swf file? Say I need the alpha to be 60% at frame 20 BUT I can't open up the FLA, can I adjust the Alpha setting (using Loadvars perhaps) without going back into the FLA? I won't have access to the FLA (when the file is online) and I want to be able to manipulate the frame 20 _alpha setting. I have tried doing this totally in actionscript and not using the timeline, but if I can't get that to work I will need to be able to adjust the alpha parameter without editing the FLA.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get in the habit of using AS in the first frame on the main timeline as much as possible. but sometimes i hit a snag. like getting a movie clip to change it's alpha when it hits a certain frame in an attached MC.
View 8 RepliesI've set up a simple enter frame loop to adjust the alpha on a grid of movie clips ("bubbles") using a distance formula from the mouse pointer.I've got a hunch that while this works fine, there's a more efficient or processor friendly way to do it.

[URL] i want the object to fade out but in the object there's a lot of overlapping pictures and each becomes half transparent. how to make the movieclip to change the alpha as it was without objects?
[Code]....
just spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;
[code]....
using AS, on loading a movie a solid shape is there with alpha at 100% then over a period of 5 secs its alpha is reduced to 0.

I'm testing flash and decided to make an asteroids clone. It works well but all the code is loaded in the first, and only, frame.Now I want to add a preloader but I cant find the way to move the code to the second frame. I don't want to create a swf and embed it. Also there are no assets created in flash, it has been coded exclusively in flashdevelop (I find it easier to use).

Was testing out my movie and using the simulate download option. Bored while waiting I started to resize the movie. Then I got an error about over 256 levels of recursion. Intrigued I tried to simulate the error again. I realized that it would only happen when I resized the movie a bunch while it was doing simulate download. Sometimes I would also get an error "A with action canceled because object didn't exist".
Digging through the code I couldn't figure it out. On the first frame of my movie all I had was a setInterval that changes the loadbar display to show how much is loading. It also tells it to stop(). Once loaded it tells it to gotoAndPlay(5). Frame 5 is where all of my other code is at. This error was happening at Frame 1? Then I remembered I had used "with" in some code to realign stuff on resize. Like:
[Code]....
As soon as I commented out the stagelistener stuff the error stopped. The stage code is on frame 5. It should not start running until the movie has loaded as frame 1 stops the movie until it is loaded. It is running BEFORE the movie is loaded though because I get the "with action" error and the 256 levels of recursion error. If I put a trace in the listener function it doesn't trace back until it is at frame 5, but for some reason part of it still runs. Anyway, sorry for the long explain...just a strange, strange error. Now I don't know what to do about it. I want the stage listener, but I definitely don't want an endless loop or other errors occurring.
I have 2 frames in my movie, 2 buttons and a video. On the first frame there is code for button #1. On the second frame i have code for button #2 but I'd also like to appear on the first frame. The problem is that when I put the code for the second button on the first frame, the video won't play. so I can only have it on the second frame. I can't figure out why the code, which works when its on frame 2, then won't work on frame 1. When I put the code on frame 1 it breaks the functionality and the video won't play.
