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.

flash 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?
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.
I have created 3 movie clips and put them on my stage. I was able to get them to appear in the order that I want, however, how do I get them to dissappear in the order that I want? Here is the code that I have so far:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
new Tween(myLogo_mc, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 100, 1, true);
if (_alpha == "100") {
[code]....
I would like to have the last two MC fade out (alpha down) and the myLogo_mc stay visible on the stage.
I am trying to move a movie clip containing content via AS3 tween with a button outside of the movie clip. I have achieved this effect on another project by using the following code:
Actionscript Code:
var myxTween:Tween=new Tween(content_mc,"x",Regular.easeOut,content_mc.x,theXPosition,.8,true);
I set up a moveContent funtion using that tween, then used:
Actionscript Code:
content_mc.aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutClick);function aboutClick(e:MouseEvent):void { trace("aboutClick");current_btn=e.currentTarget.name; moveContent(588,-538,"about.swf");}
to move the content. I am just wondering how to achieve the same effect but use a button on a separate layer that will be static.
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.)
my intention is to make alot ball endless fade in and fade out by using tween event class , but i got some problem see my code.

I simply have one FLVPlayback component in the background and a movieclip on the layer above with an FLVPlayback component inside it. The first FLV component is constantly looping a five-second video. So all I need is for the movieclip containing the second FLV component to load the right file, fade in, and when the video ends, fade out. Absolutely all of that works... apart from the fading in. What I noticed was that my movieclip was fading in correctly, but the FLVPlayback component was empty and transparent until the fade had finished - then it played the clip. Here's my code, which gets called at random intervals:

I have a movie clip (mc) with the alpha set to 0 (invisible). if you click on the stage it sets the mc's alpha to 0.4, before fading to alpha 0 again in 1.5 seconds. Here the code:
Code:
mc.alpha = 0.4;
tweenOut = new Tween(mc, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, mc.alpha, 0, 1.5, true );
Basically you click on the stage, the mc appears and then fades away within 1.5 seconds. Here's my problem...
If I click on the stage again before the fade has completed, nothing happens. I have to wait the full 1.5 seconds before I can do it again.
Anyone know how I can make this work irrespective if the previous fade out has finished or not?
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.....
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.

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.
I'm trying to make a bubble movie clip, instance name storeBtn, grow in and out and fade in/out. I understand now that I can't use more than one prototype object because their onEnterFrame's replace each other? On their own each of these protypes work, although the scaling one isn't contraining the movie clip, it squishes the bubble in and out a bit. Is there any way to combine alpha and scale in one prototype? I tried adding more parameters but that didn't work. Or is there some other way?Here's the code I'm trying to work with.
MovieClip.prototype.fade = function(minAlpha, maxAlpha, speedAlpha) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (!this.trigger) {[code].......
Is there a way to fade a movie clip out based on the proximity of the mouse? Basically if my mouse is greater than 100 pixels away from a movie clip, I want the movie clip to fade to 0 and stay invisible.

View 2 RepliesWhenever someone clicks on a nav button, the corresponding .swf file loads into a blank movie clip I have on my home page. What I'd like to do is have the content on the current page fade out before the content on the new page fades in. I've used Flash for years, but this is the first web site I've built entirely in Flash, and I don't quite know how to approach this. I'm assuming ActionScript would be the easiest and most efficient way to produce this effect, but I don't know how to go about doing it. Is there a way to tell the current movie to go to a certain frame in the movie and play it before loading the next external movie clip?

I have 10 objects in 10 layers to make a single logo. I have created them using flash drawing objects. Now I would like each object to come one by one on stage using motion tween. How can I go further? Do I need to make each object a movie clip before set it motion tween? Or do I need to make a single movie with all 10 objects as combined? Please note that I need each object to come on stage one by one (not a whole logo on once). Please provide help or any example tutorial link.
