If I have this line of code:
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(contHolderMain, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, 100, true);
contHolderMain's alph value should move from 0 to 100 in 100 seconds, but it only take about 5.
I have something odd happening when I update a FlxSprite's alpha repeatedly to make it fade out. Instead of taking 150 seconds to fade out completely (I actually want 15 seconds), it fades out over maybe 2 seconds. I tried tracing the actual alpha value, and the sprite is invisible when the alpha value is around 0.95 (95% opacity, ie slightly transparent). how I can get the alpha to work properly in Flixel?
[Code]....
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(object, 'alpha', None.easeNone, 0, 100, 10, true)
myTween.start();
when I do this, the object flickers sometimes and also seems to go faster than the specified 10 seconds sometimes. Also when I noticed this is when I've been getting a weird error: Error opening URL [URL]
(I omitted some of the link in order to post)
This is the first time I have encountered weird problems like this. My mind is a little confused (a lot I mean).
Take a look at [URL] I have made a preloader for a site but the tween dosnt seem to be working properly. Stop the page from loading as soon as you see the preloader. You'll notice that the preloader circle appears to shimmer, i have no idea why. its basically a photoshop psd file that i have dropped to the stage as a graphic and then done a motion tween to make it rotate across 24 frames. I have set the html page to show the flash at 'best' quality and tried it on a black background to see if it was an optical effect, but its always the same.
View 1 Repliesi have a problem with my as3 working on normal movieclips, but not on the gallery, the site works by loading an external swf file with the UILoader, the swf that is loaded is a ScrollPane that loads a Movieclip.The script i use:
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTweenAlphaRoskilde:Tween = new Tween(roskildemc, "alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 1, 40, false);
1. frame is the preloader
2. frame is the Scrollpane and Movieclip that loads, the action is added here.

I have a line that starts invisible then becomes solid then invisible again. First keyframe is alpha 1%, should the two keyframes that follow next in the timeline where it shows as full strength colour be left alone, showing still as colour>none in properties, or should I choose alpha and 100% ? Last keyframe again sees it given alpha 1%. ( I was told dont use 0% as it causes flash more work !)What is best practice here? I have many of these to do so leaving keyframes as 'none' for colour would make life much quicker.
View 3 RepliesI 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 Repliesattempting to reposition an alpha tween on the stage.
i'd like to do this without creating another keyframe that changes the position of the alpha tween.
Is it possible to alpha tween (or any tween) the end of an animation with the start?For example, here we have a simple animation that alpha tweens three images with looped playback (keyframes capitalized):
IMAGE X: xxxxxxxxxxxxX--->X
IMAGE Y: Y--->YyyyyyyyyY--->Y
IMAGE Z: Z--->Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
(loop)
Image X alpha tweens with Y, and Y alpha tweens with Z.Is it possible to alpha tween image Z with image X when the playback loops?
I have a few words written in static text mode which I have made a graphic symbol. On the timeline I have used both motion tween and classic tween to create a aplha change from 0% to 100%.I made sure I have enoough space on my timeline (10 frames).The aplha tween works fine in preview mode however when I export the swf the aplha tween is no longer working? I have tried breaking the text,restarting flash,restarting my computer and similar suggestions from other blogs such as:

When I place a flv into a flash movie and apply a skin and publish everything, it works fine on my local machine, but when uploaded to a server the player skin will not show up, yet the flv shows up and begins playing.

View 7 RepliesIm trying to get cuepoints working on an old as2 project.I have a netstream video component and want the cuepoints embedded in the FLV to trigger buttons to appear. I have embedded them as Event Cuepoints.
ns.onCuePoint = function(infoObject:Object){ trace(infoObject.name); if(infoObject.name == "CP1") { trace("yes working"); }};

This shows all of the cuepoints within the FLV. I cant figure out how to change the code to trigger actions WHEN the FLV hits a Cuepoint.
Here is the website: [URL]. If you visit the gallery, the images are sliding TOO fast and i have no idea why, They work fine if I test in the Flash.
View 1 RepliesIn an attempt to use a dynamic text field on my page, and passing text to it such as..
question.text = "Sample text here"
..where the instance name of the dynamic text field is "question" ..I found that if I add another text box to the page as static text, but using the same font as the dynamic field, the dynamic field populates incorrectly.If I compile using CS4 it works fine, and if I break apart the static text in CS5 it works fine.I also found if I change the font of the static field to something other than that of the dynamic.. it works fine.However in further testing..if I place a second static text field on the page,the dynamic again breaks even if I use the different font as before.
All of these scenarios work fine in CS4, but in CS5 is causing my dynamic field to change to the same as my static text, or simply mixing letters and otherwise not displaying my dynamic text...I've tested on three systems here all with CS5 ...
I have confirmed to my satisfaction that the following code never triggers the Event.COMPLETE of var loader:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(contact_url);
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;

However, it does in fact send the emails it is designed to send! Why doesn't it complete when in fact the work is done?
We have a Flash banner on the home page and each slide has a link to some other page. Everything works fine, exept in IE.
Basically what happens is that if you click on the banner the first time, the link will work fine and bring you to the new page. However, if you go back to the home page again, then the banner does not even present a link anymore (it will still work fine as far as the banner rotation is concerned - just no more links)..
If i have a clip with a bunch of stuff inside it (on layers) like other clips, bitmaps, etc. and perform a tween on that clip (via tween class), the stuff inside the clip seems to alpha at different rates.
For instance, i have a clip with an empty movieclip which loads a bitmap image and on top of the bitmap image, i have a gradient feathered edge (.png) bitmap and on top of that I have some dynamic text (embedded fonts).
The bitmap is supposed to create a feathered edge on the photo but since they alpha at different rates, you always see the hard edge of the photo...
is there a solution like cacheAsBitmap which would let the whole clip alpha at once? If it's cacheAsBitmap, i must be using it incorrectly, b/c it's not working!
I am new to flash and working on creating a simple animation. I have the objects ready, but problem is I can't seem to get motion tween working. Following this, I tried a very basic motion tween just increasing the size of text from one frame to another and can't get even this to work. I followed the basic steps, converted the text objects to symbol etcetera. What is seen is for frames 1-9 there is no change and in frame 10 there is sudden change in size. I also notice that there is no 'arrow' observed in the tween as shown in a sample tutorial.

The bold entries are where the Tween class is declared and I expect it to behave smoothly but it is lagging in its response to the mouseOver event and mouseOut event.
Can anyone test this out on their system and see if they are having problems as I am? Basically as the mouse hovers over an active target the scale of the active target in X is supposed to change from 1 to 1.2 times the original scale in X and vice versa when the mouse goes out of the active target.
Does anyone know of a actionscript that can tween something to alpha=0. Id like to tween something to alpha 0% from alpha 100% rather then do every single one manually. I have a thumnail box that changes images just thought it would be easyer to put a action on the timeline to fade it out rather then tween it one at a time.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to find the most easiest way to fade in and out a movieclip in AS3. What I did is this:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
[code]........
Using AS3, how do I create an alpha tween from one movie clip to another?
My thinking is that I can't use the timeline, because the fade is variable and event driven; e.g., the user clicks on one of many pics, and the stage alpha tweens from the current to the clicked.
I am using the Fuse class [URL] for most tweens that I do, but I can't seem to target an array with the class.
Regardless all I'm trying to do is take this array (it actually has way more strings but you get the idea):
Code:
var clipArray:Array = new Array("full01_07", "full02_07", "full03_07");
And when I click a btn it fades out everything in the array to alpha:0.
Here is the code I use for fuse:
Code:
var hideClips:Fuse = new Fuse();
hideClips.push({target: ????? , alpha:0, time:.25, ease:"easeInQuad"});
hideClips.start();
i did try target:clipArray[i], it doesn't work.
I made the following AS tween that moves the MC from right to left. It should fade its alpha after the tween finishes. But it doesn't fade. Why not?[code]
View 1 Replies[URL]
The links on the site above have a nice alpha tween effect. It looks like the rollover fades out the alpha so that the links appear brighter. When you rollout the alpha reduces.
What would be the best/most logical way to do this? I presume you create some AS that contols the alpha tween and keep this on the timeline as a function. Then for each button you call the function.
