Im using a movie clip to mask out another movieclip(layer).This works fine with below code:
maskee.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskMC.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskee.setMask("maskMC");
but when that swf is imported into a container in my main movie the masking does not work.
I have created a finite menu and it works fine, the only problem is that now I want to have the menu set to 50% alpha and when the user moves the mouse over the menu it gradually increases to 100%

Im very new in the flash business and i started making a gallery after this videoi get 2 errors when i write te action code for alpha change. Is it because i use ActionScript3 instead of 2? because i made it with flash CS3.
View 8 RepliesBasically, I want to change the alpha value on my movieclip. I start my mc with an alpha of .08 (8%).
mc.alpha = .08;
What I then want to do is increment it to .9 (90%) and when it hits that, decrement it back to .08, and then when it hits that, increment it again to .9 etc.
I have tried
if(mc.alpha==.9){
mc.alpha -= .01;
}else{
mc.alpha += .01;
}
From what I understand you can change the alpha value of a textfield to be fully transparent. I would like to have chat output that fades after a while. I was wondering if there was a way to change just a portion of the string inside of a text field to transparent. The textColor does not have an alpha value. I could just use multiple text fields but I would like to avoid doing that if possible for efficiency sake.

Ok. I am new again so I hope I am describing this correctly. I don't know the best way to do this but this is what I've dreamed up so far: I have a number of movie clips on my screen, all thumbnail sized images, each with an instance name (ex: tw_lifeoftheparty, tw_xmen, tw_xfiles, tw_diehard, etc.).
In each movieclip there are 2 layers: the thumbnail image(bottom layer) and a black border(top layer). The black border is an object named wk_border and isin each of the thumbnail movieclips.
I have given wk_border the same instance name in each thumbnail movieclip "border"

Let me try to explain what I'm doing. I have multiple movieClips (mc_aitkin, mc_anoka, there will be a lot more) on the stage that I want to change their alpha using data from an xml when it loads. I can isolate the info I want and trace it so it shows in output, but I'm not sure how to use it from there.
I've tried to convert the xml data to a number and do an if/else as shown below, but the only output I get is "not" (from a trace). So I'm guessing the if/else isn't recognizing the xml data as a number?
If I can resolve that, the next step will be to apply this function to the large number of mc's I'll have on the stage. Would that be with something like e.currentTarget.alpha = .5; ?? I don't think I can put it in the same changeAlpha function because there the property of 'e' would be undefined.[code]...
How can i change the alpha value of a movieclip through actionscript?
View 1 RepliesI want to make a button to change the alpha of an instance but I dont know how to make it.
Thats what I want: When I click the button, then the movie clip appears (alpha 100)When I click the button again, then the movie clip disappears (alpha 0)

View 2 RepliesI've been going through the Transitions Between External SWF tutorials and all is going well except I wish to situate my buttons in a movieclip and not on the main timeline as the tutorial teaches. The tutorial does point out; 'If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. If your buttons are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path.'Does anyone know how I'd do that to the below code? (for some reason the code tags were messing up so I've just copy and pasted.)

I am working on a project for school using ActionScript 3. I have a matrix created with an animated movie clip. The matrix looks like a bunch of shapes changing size and color on the screen. I would like to have it so when I move my mouse moves over an individual shape in the matrix the alpha will change to be more transparent... like 0.5. I'm sure it would be a mouse move function, but I don't know how to write that part of the code.[code]...

Right now, I have it working so that the alpha changes on all of them on rollover/rollout/press, but to do that, I have a code for each individual thumbnail, and I know there has to be a way to just have one code that applies to all of them instead of repeating so much (but I'm just not sure how to do it).

As far as I know theres in no way to change the alpha of a dynamic text box. I put one in a movie clip and when i try to change the alpha of it everything else in it changes its alpha but the not the DT box. can't change alpha and find a component that allows alpha control with a dynamic text box.
