I imported five movie clips in my timeline. Three of these clips works seamlessly fine with the fade in code snippet however the other 2 which I took from a video camera, does not fade in and I don't know why? I converted all these clips to a .FLV file as well
View 3 RepliesI know this is Flash 101, but darn if I can't get it right. I'm trying to have a looping MC fade out and stop at a certain frame (last frame on document). Here is what I have so far. Any thoughts or explanation on what I'm missing would be great, I'd love to understand what I'm doing wrong here. I have other actionscript and layers on the original, but due to file size I just parsed it down to the basics.
View 2 Repliesflash version: CS3 AS2 Im having trouble making the pages for a website im working on. I have a row of buttons, and I want each one to open its corrisponding page ie. contact_us_button to open contact_us movie clip. the thing is I want each page to transition in and out. so when I click contact us, the contact us movie clip fades in and stops. When I click about us, the contact us movie clip fades out and about us fades in.
Is the way to do this to make each page movie clip have a fade start and fade end, and have it stop before the fade end, and on another page click continue playing the current clip to get the fade out and then open the new page movie clip?
I have a tweened movie which plays on a loop. A click on the image area stops the movie and the image fades nicely from alpha 100 to alpha 0. A second click brings the image back immediately to alpha 100 and the clip continues. I would like the movie image to fade back in from alpha0 to alpha 100 before it re-starts; (the reverse of the fade out). At the moment the re-appearence of the image is a crude jump. So far my ill informed tinkering has not worked.

I would like to create a flash movie that loops through 11 dynamic images continually with a fade-in, fade-out each image.
View 2 Replieshow to do this effect.I have a movie instance named "sparkles_mov" as in internal movie, not loading externally.It's placed multiple times on the stage.I need an AS code for the first frame of the entire stage that makes all instances fade in at a specific frame number (5), last for XXX amount of seconds and then all of the instances to fade out at a specific frame number (70).Is this possible? I have all instances fading in using this AS code placed on the frame that they enter on but the fade out never works, the just abruptly disappear:
Code:
sparkles_mov._alpha = 0;
fadeIn();[code].....
This is very Newb. I'm having issues using Tweener, AS2, AS3. I'm trying to have 3 movie clips fade in and out sequentially, each one fading in over 2-3 seconds, staying on screen for 6 seconds, then fading out. I would like all 3 clips to loop. Im trying to use Tweener for the first time.

I'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeking, but basically I have a movie loaded in a clip and when the user clicks a button, I want the loaded movie to perform some kind of action (fade out or whatever) while the new movie is loaded.
Probably something simple, but I'm an idiot,
I am looking for a way to fade in a white movie clip over my main movie when a button is pressed.
(i.e. When you press a button, a white rectangle will fade in over all other layers and then fade out after a couple of seconds. This is to make it look like the different pages are fading in and out without having to build the transition over and over again.)
I have my flash document set up in the following way: On the main timeline I have my buttons that I want to play movie clips embedded inside a movie clip on the main timeline.However, when I click each different button, the current movie clip stops playing and then the movie clip corresponding to the button plays.
I want them all to be able to play at once. So for example you push button 1 and the alien plays, but half way through you could click button 2 and the alien clip would keep playing, but also the helicopter clip would begin to play as well.Here is the code I have so far:
building_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alien);
building_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helicopter);
function helicopter(e:MouseEvent):void {[code]......
There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.

View 1 RepliesI can't get a simple fade to work, despite research and trial & error.My procedure (FYI):
- I create a layer just for this fade object.
- I drag a .gif image from the Library to the stage in this layer.
- I convert it to a symbol (tried Button & Movie symbols.Graphic symbol not an option because I need to reposition the object programatically).
- I select the first frame in this layer, select the symbol, and set its Alpha to 0%.
- I select another frame in this layer and Insert Keyframe.
- I select the symbol again and set its Alpha to 100%.
- I select the range of frames from start to end keyframe, I right-click this range, and I insert a Classic Tween (I've tried Motion Tween as well).
Bottom Line:
-When I try Control --> Play, the fade works perfectly.
-When I try Control --> Test Movie, the fade never happens and the symbol remains invisible.
Why would the fade work in Play but not in Test Movie?What step is missing/wrong in getting this fade to work?
Have been fiddling around for some time now and just can't seem to fade out my movie clip, the same way that I have faded it in. I have this AS already on it, am not sure if I should set the alpha or if I need to do something more complicated.

I will be loading a movie clip, into a container just to the left of the portfolio elements.What I want to happen is, in my Loaded MC I want to be able to click on the thumbnail, and in the parent movie clip ( the one you select the portfolio elements from).I want a Movie clip to fade in on top of everything. but Im having a few errors.IN my parent file Ive created and named a blank movie clip .the script inside of the satellite MC is :
on(press){
_parent.loadMovie("enlarged.swf","targetmc");
}
but it unloads the satellite MC and replaces it with the swf, rather than inserting it in my target movie clip in the parent page.I cannot use _root in this instance, and Ive tried adding "_parent._parent".. im at a loss here.....
I have a loop that starts to play when the movie starts:
var my_sound:SoundId = new SoundId();
var my_channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
my_channel = my_sound.play(0,int.MAX_VALUE);
I would like to fade it out when the movie enters frame 20. Since I'm already using TweenMax, I put this line in frame 20:
TweenMax.to(SoundId, 1, {volume:0, onUpdate:my_channel, onComplete:stopSound});
I'm getting an error:
1120: Access of undefined property stopSound. TweenMax.to(SoundId, 1, {volume:0, onUpdate:my_channel, onComplete:stopSound});
How do you make a movie clip fade out when the cursor enters the stage, but then fades back in once the cursor has left the stage? Is the same method then used with buttons?

I have web content with simple rollover animations. When someone rolls over the target a text box fades in. When they roll out it fades out.
How can I have a smooth transition if the user rolls out before the roll over animation ends (i.e. before it's faded all the way in) ?
movie clip's alpha to fade to 0 when the cursor enters the stage, and then when it leaves the stage to blend back up to 100% (or do you say '1'?)So far this is the code and FollowTxt will fade out but not back in:
var myFrame:Frame = new Frame();
var myHelp:Help = new Help();
var myFollowTxt:FollowTxt = new FollowTxt();

I have the following functions that fade a movie clip in and out
Code:
fadeAmount = 1;
function fadeIn() {
this._alpha += fadeAmount;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
[Code] .....
And then I call the movie clip to start fading in and appear on stage
Code:
contentMC._alpha = 0;
contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
What I need is some way to tell the movie "after you reach alpha 100, stay there for x seconds and then fade out" and execute this code:
Code:
contentMC._alpha = 100;
contentMC.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;Aafter it reaches alpha = 0 it should stop and stay there without looping back and starting to fade in again.
In simple terms, the first page loads and the movie clip fades in. Then once one of the navigational buttons is clicked, i need it to wait 3 seconds while the fade out animation plays before proceeding to the next page. There may be another way to have the fadeout animation play before it proceeds to the next page, as im fairly new to actionscript, im not totally sure.

I thought of making each phase inside "content" a movie clip, adding all the even listeners in the main actions layer and also adding the transitions there too.
When X even listener is pressed in X movie clip pointing to Y movie clip, fade out X using an e.target tween and somehow fetch the Y info and fade that movie clip in.
Is there an easy way of using Alpha fades as an actionscript command on a whole movie so prior to unloading a movie i can fade it out?

The visitor clicks on a link that starts to load a external swf.The swf loads behind the current content, showing the preloading process with a loading bar och numbers or what ever.When the swf has preloaded it fades over (with alpha) the current content which creates a very smooth web experience.
I'm trying to fade in some text at a certain point in my movie. After reading the tween class tutorial, I grabbed this snipped of code, slightly modified to be:
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var fadeIn:Tween = new Tween(myTextMovieClip, "_alpha", Elastic.easeInOut, 0, 100, 2, true);
Now, when I run my movie this works just fine. But the thing is, I don't want it to run until a button is clicked in the movie, and the movie clip will not be visible until that button is clicked. So how would I have this tween fire off when the button is clicked? How do I connect them?
Code:
myButton_btn.onRelease = function() {
myMovieClip.fadeIn;
}
I have a thumbnail scroller app built with AS3 on my website homepage. I have the class files but would like to know of any quick workaround to make the embedded Flash movie clickable without reworking the AS3 files. What I would like to do is if you click on a thmbnail or anywhere in the movie, the "portfolio" page loads. I asume this would use javascript?
