I installed Flash CS4 and the alpha doesn't seem to work. I follow all the instructions to the letter but get no results. I had no problems working in Flash MX
View 6 RepliesFirst project in CS5 upgrading from CS3. I've got a very simple movieclip. A couple of layers of jpgs that pop in, scale up and run to the end of the clip. Two layers of type I have set in Flash and converted to symbols on separate layers. I did an old school tween and set the first frame symbol to an alpha of 0, and the last frame of the tween to 100%. I scrub the playhead and it works fine. I've done this thousands of times in Flash back through Flash 4.
I add the movie clip to the main timeline, give it a little alpha fade in to the main sequences and when I test or Publish the movie, it doesn't render the alpha fade on the type. It's as though the tween isn't there at all the type pops on screen full strength.Everything else works. All the tweened scaling, a couple of other alpha fades on other art symbols, but the type fade doesn't render.
I even went in and re-did the fades as motion effects. Scrub the playhead - looks good.Test or publish, there's nothing.
I'd like to know how to gradually fade in a movie clip using alpha values? I'd like it to go from 0 to 1 in about 2 secondsish
View 5 RepliesI 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 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:

The thing is a kind of photogallery ( i know that there already are a lot of gallery, but i wanted to make one myself...). I want to let photo's to fade in and to resize when loaded en to fade out when loading another one... fading in and resizing isn't to difficult... but sometimes it won't fade in and won't resize... i really don't get it. This only happens 1 out of 10 times. But when i try to intergrate the fade out it goes wrong 50% of the time.

I've got a function 'onIntroFinished' which starts two tweens (musicPlayerIntro and fullResetBtnIntro). After each tween, an eventlistener is added to that particular tween to see when it's ended, so it can call on another function to start a new tween. The first tweens complete within the 'onIntroFinished' function....however, they don't go on to start the second tween in the 'musicPlayerIntro2' and 'fullResetBtnIntro2' functions? The trace statements are getting called for the second tween functions, so they're getting through to that point, but why aren't the tweens starting? Ocassionally when I test it, the second tweens half work, fading out to 50% alpha, but then stop and stay visible, rather than fully fading out. Is this necessarilly the best way to do a fade In/fade out alpha tween?

I 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?
In the Tut: Photo Gallery using XML and Flash, the image is faded to 0 BEFORE the next image is faded to 100. Is it possible to get the imcoming image to fade in WHILE the outgoing image is be faded out?
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;

I have a basic alpha motion fade which works using my flashplayer but not in flash players less than version 10 (no fade is present its just instantly there). If I change the player I am developing for in my movie settings the fade just does not work.
View 1 RepliesSo my flash skills are pretty rusty. The project I'm currently working on is updating my portfolio site and I have a navigation bar that I want to fade in, click on a link, fade out, then go to the specified link. I've got the animation working the way I like, however I cant get the links to work correctly. I've used the standard getURL commands, but then every button goes to the same link, not different ones.
What Action Script 3.0 coding do I need to make the animation play the way I've described and have each button go to it's own link?
I know this question has been asked a thousand times already, but I simply can't get it to work. I've looked at various other threads posts, but none of them seem to work. Here's what I'm trying to do: I have a button (Instance name: "go") and a MC (instance name: "fader"). Now, I want the MC to fade in on rollOut and fade out on rollOut. Currently, I have this code: In frame 1 of my movie: (taken from this thread)

I am new to Flash and am using Flash CS4. Can someone send me the code to make a top picture fade out to reveal a photo underneath when hovering with a mouse and then fade back in after you move the mouse?

I am using Flash 8 - trying to get started by simply fading in/out using Alpha. I totally get on the first layer converting image to movie, inserting key frame and motion tween, selecting clip and changing alphato 0%. Where I am absolutely lost - is when it comes the second, third, fourth and fifth image. I have tried inserting new layers and repeating the steps - but for some reason 2-5 images do not transition like image one.
View 2 RepliesIm using the following bit of code to advance through frames at a set interval. Each frame consists of a different quote (text) and while this works fine I want to add in a fade effect so that for the last second of the frame the alpha of the frame reduces from 100 to 0.Here is the timer code im using:stop();function goNext(){gotoAndPlay(2);clearInterval(timer);}var timer = setInterval(goNext, 10000);
View 1 RepliesI want to be able to fade to a colour, rather than alpha as I'm loading movies into a holder, when the alpha fade function is used it shows the surface beneath the holder and I don't want this to happen, so I tried to use a setRgb but it didn't work, how to fade to a colour not to opacity.
Here is my code:
stop();
timer = setInterval(this, "fadeOut", 1500);
function fadeOut(){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){

how to fade in / out the movieclip using actionscript with ease.. ?
View 5 Repliesaccomplish entirely in AS:
on button rollover, the button and title of the page fade in
on button rollout, they both fade out
on button release the MC fades in
on new button release, the last MC fades out
so far i have the following code for button so that on the rollover state, the title loads in a text field:
[AS]
on (rollover) {
_root.x + 1;
_root.caption.words = "shows";
[code]....
how and where to nest the rest of the actions into what i have so far.
this works but repeatidly fades in and out. I need to know how stop this after one loop and where to insert the script.
MovieClip.prototype.fade = function(minAlpha, maxAlpha, speed) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (!this.trigger) {
this._alpha -= speed;

I have an image that fades to 100 using this script:
Code:
this._alpha=this._alpha+5;
Is it possible to stop this at alpha value of 75?
What I'm trying to do is have an object go from 0% and fade to 100% when I move the mouse cursor over it.
For the life of me, I can't figure out the code to work this. I'm sure this is the easiest thing on the planet, but I've been working with AS for only about a week.
I've made the object a button symbol and given it an instance name of "btRed." I found the following code in the help file, but it isn't working.
function fadeBlock(event:MouseEvent):void {
btRed.alpha = 1;
btRed.addEventListener(MouseEvent.mouseOver, fadeBlock);
}
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 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is make a movie clip button that will fade from a certain alpha to a different alpha when I mouse over. Is this possible to do withing the transitionmanager fade effect? Or do I need to make separate movie clips for the fade in and fade out sequence for the button over and button out parts?
View 4 RepliesI have a picture on the stage that is coverd by 24 small squares (suare01, square02,. square24) The alpha property for all squares is50. I would like the squares randomly fade to alpha 0 (stay on alpha 0 for approx. 8 seconds) and then fade back to alpha 50 again, while another one fade to alpha 0
View 14 Repliesi think this is like the 5th time i'm asking this question, i'll ask it differently this time. I just want the button to fade out on rollover. at the same time, i would like text (that is loaded externally in a text field called "caption") to fade in also on rollover.
View 6 RepliesI had to make a simple slide show for a client and they wanted it done in flash. I am not very good in flash and am having a problem trying to get the first image and text to fade in once the user clicks on the category they want.
I want both the image and the text to fade out and have a new image and new text to fade in when the user clicks the next or previous button. I would also like it if I could have the text be timed so that it will fade in AFTER the image it goes with fades in.
Right now the slide show is really ugly, I will make it pretty once I have it built and working correctly, so don't judge the look...haha.
Anyway, here is the .swf file which is what it looks like now...my .fla file was too big to upload on here. I would post the code, but I have so much in different places that I don't know where to start as far as what you will need.
I can't see the swf file that I uploaded when I click on it.
