Professional :: Text Fading At Different Times?
Jan 14, 2010
I have almost completed my first Flash project at work, after numerous losses of sanity, blood, sweat and tears. Anyhow I am on the last step and can see the end in site.
I have a movie within the webpage where text fades in. There are three components to the section; static text, a button and text that is linked via another movie file. When the text fades in each of the elements mentioned fade in at different times/rates. What should be looking at? I think that all the frame rates should be the same? Should I combine them all into one and make the fade easier to work with?

I've read through several tutorials but I must be doing something wrong on this. I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS4. I am trying to create a short clip that fades text in over a bacground video. When I create a motion tween on the text track, I'm generating an error and the background video is no longer visible in the preview. Instead, I see the text over the stage background color. It is as if the background video track has switched to wireframe. Here are the steps I've followed:
1. Created Flash File (ActionScript 3.0).
2. Imported Video into the State background layer - it appears as a black image in the it previews fine at that point
3. Created new layer for text and placed text - it previews fine at this point, text is overlaying video
4. I right click on the text block and choose convert to symbol.
5. Next with the play head on the first frame and the Text layer selected I choose Create Motion Tween. This is when AFP throws this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at fl.video::UIManager/http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::hookUpCustomComp onents() at [code]...

I have text showing up in a text area, I know I can make the background transparent, but how do I make the actual text showing up an _alpha of oh say 30 or 40...I've tried..(inside the onClipLoad event of the text area)
this.text._alpha = 30;
this.setStyle("alpha", "30");

I want to create a swf of 5 photos that fade into each other. For example, black background, first photo fades up from alpha 0 to alpha 100 in one second, stays on screen for 4 seconds, then fades back to alpha 0 while the next photo fades up, etc, then the 5th photo fades back into the 1st photo and it loops.
What's the best, easiest way to accomplish this with cs4?
Also, if the jpgs are 980 x650 pixels and approx. 70 kb apiece, will I need a preloader if I'm going to use the swf as a header to my site? If so, is there a simple, plug n play preloader I can use?

I have text that wraps around an image on a page and I want the text to fade in from top to bottom. I would have just made a gradient in Photoshop and then tweened it over the text. But the text wraps around an image and the gradient would cover the image.

I'm trying to make a program that's meant for graphics tablets in AS3. So far I can allow the user to draw a line across the stage so that they know where their moving their pen around. However I want this line to only be temporary, and so the graphics.Clear() method is called to remove it.
I'd like this to look a lot better however, as the line just instantly disappears. Does anyone know how I could add code that makes the line fade out to 0 alpha first before I call the clear command?

I can't work out why - but when I try to fade out some text (by calling fadeoutSecondText), the text fades out, and then immediately fades back in. Fading in and out struggle against each other, resulting in rapidly flashing text!

I have created a flash pro cs5 movie with several key frames in and as the movie plays, it moves onto the next keyframe - each keyframe uses the same template but with a different picture in each. Also each keyframe has buttons in of which are all identical as well and stay in the same place as the movie plays.
As the movie plays and the picture in each keyframe changes I want each one to fade out then in to the next picture. I can see that you can do this in Flash Catalyst but can this be done in Flash Pro? I can not see how I can import the swf file into catalyst then fade each of the pictures which is tied up in a single swf file?

I am making a childrens story book for school and to go between the pages of text I want the text to fade in and out.. I have been trying many different things and have looked quite thoroughly and have found nothing which is what i want.
What I Would Like If I have a book (see book.jpg attached) and in that book i will have text. When the next or previous page button is pressed the page will go to either the previous or next page.
The way I think it whould be done When you click on the next or previous or next button the text is written into a dynamic text field with action script, but is there anyway to have that script fade in when it is written with action script.I think this would require having just one dynamic text field and the buttons on one frame and then just writing and fading the dynamic text in that text field when you click the button. Also is there anyway to set the previous and next button to load different text depending on the text that is already loaded?

I'm sure this is very simply but I can't seem to get the trick down. I have a simply scroller with text. Nothing dynamic, just a plain 'ol scroller. I'd like the text to fade in or out, from the top or bottom, as the user scrolls. Take a look at this site and click on The Film link. The text fades as you scroll up/down. [URL]. I've tried making the mask for my scroller into a gradient but that doesn't affect the text.

I am completely new to Flash and have been learning about alpha tweening to fade one .jpg image (of a customer's happy comment) to another. This works fine if I only have a small number of comments, but modifying each and every stage of the transitions would be a huge task if I have more than a handful of comments to deal with. Is there some way to set the transition and then apply that transition to all images? That way, I would only have to amend the transition once and it would make no difference whether I had 2 or 200 images to fade in and out of.

SO i have looked and looked and I am beginning to believe that this may just be impossible to do with Actionscript. Basically i have a backend php file that creates an XML file of randomly selected entries from a Db. That XML file is imported to the swf file, and currently i can rotate through the XML nodes with no problem. Where i am now having issues is trying to have each entry Fade in.........and then fade out. Doing this with tweening is not an option because the tween time period never matches up with the backend actionscript rotation time period.
I have read alot about how you need to embed fonts to make this possible. have done that to no avail. THis can not be that out there of an idea. Basically i have a list of advertiser names and am wanting to rotate through them........but want a little more style than just a hard cut between the entries.

i've done the Fading Grid tutorial that Voetsjoeba wrote but i seem to be de-railing somewhere when i test the movie all i see is a large grey box (border color) with a medium white box (box color) in the bottom right.when i edit the border and lose the grey box but leave its line borders then i get the image with the white box in the bottom right. i've got an image: instance named 'image', a box: instance named 'box' and a border: instance named 'border' and pasted in the actionscript in place but it still hangs.

I have a static text movie clip (text has been completely broken down). What I want is to fade in then fade back out. I have the first part working, it's getting to fade back out. Here's what I have so far:
Welcome._alpha=0;
Welcome.onEnterFrame=function() {
this._alpha+=5;
}
This section works great. I just can't seem to grasp how to make it fade back out.

just another CS4 newbie in a panic about the "new skool" tweening. I'm sure that I'm going to absolutely love it once it all sinks in, but at the moment, there are a few things that strike me as odd and I'm looking for guidance... Something I noticed last night that was different in terms of workflow was animating consecutive objects. Imagine the following simple storyboard: - a photo appears on the screen and gradually grows in size while fading out - after that photo has completely faded out, a new photo appears on the screen and grows in size while fading out.
Now, "old skool" I would have economized my timeline real-estate by having both of these images on the same layer. Since they are not visible at the same time, you can clear (delete) the first image and drop in the second image and everything is peachy. I found that this was not the case in CS4. Here's what happens AFAICR: - import first image to stage. it appears in a layer

I'm having huge issues with Flash CS5 11.0.2.489 (even to see the version, I had to open the dialog box several times in order to see the version, WTFFF...). I'm working on Mac OS 10.6.6 64 bits. Sometimes Flash freezes (very often) and I have to reboot. Sometimes it goes down on its own.... And when I'm working on my Macboo pro, it just go down 10 or 20 times a day !!!! Sometimes, when I double click on a movieclip and come back to the scene, there is no movieclip left... They have all disappeared. Have to reboot.... And as this F*** software is a piece of ***, I try to save every 5 minutes, but saving takes a loooong time. And in a day, it can be a matter of 1 hour lost..... On the previous versions, I had no real problem.
Flash CS5 is just a pre-alpha version or what? The bug report site should have so much report that mines are surely not read. So I'm here to beg Adobe to do something quickly. This is just not a software made for production.

I am trying to rotate a symbol on the x axis mulitple times for an animation I am doing. The problem is everytime I try to do a complete rotation, the symbol rotates fine until I hit 180 degrees, but once I go past that mark, the symbol just starts rotating backwards. Is there a certain way I have to do this in order to get a complete rotation in one direction?

how to get a movie clip to loop a specific number of times in Flash? I know how to stop a movie clip from looping by using the this.stop (); command by placing the command in a separate Action Script layer, in a keyframe, inside of the movie clip's timeline. This allows the movie clip to play through once and then stop. But I need for the movie clip to loop more than once, maybe 2 or 3 times, and then go back to the main timeline.
Also, is it possible to place a pause (I'm guessing, maybe by using a timer of some type?) between the loops, so that the movie will pause a couple of seconds before it loops again and then stop? Please note I do not need the movie clip to stop when there's an event like a rollover or anything. I just need it to play a couple of times, pause between plays and then stop and go back to the main timeline.
