Actionscript 3 :: Alpha Does Not Work On Text?
Oct 12, 2011
i'd like to make an effect with "alpha", but when i'm using a particular class to set the scrollbar on my text, the text does not respond to my alpha. You'll see that the text does not respond to the alpha 0 at the beginning of the tween.
Here's my code in the fla that imports another class, which imports the scrollbar class ;-) :
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var loader:Loader = new Loader;
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Rhizo.swf");
[Code].....

As far as I know theres in no way to cahnge 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. Could someone plz verify for me that u can't change alpha and help me find a component that allows alpha control with a dynamic text box. thx in advance.

I've used this code to apply a gradient alpha mask: bg_mc.cacheAsBitmap=true;mask_mc.cacheAsBitmap=true;bg_mc.setMask(mask_mc); Then I applied a motion tween to the mask_mc clip. But the motion tween doesn't happen? It only shows the first frame of the motion tween. It does apply the alpha mask though. Why doesn't it show the rest of the motion tween.

I tried using this code because I need some mc to scale, others to fade, and others to move; but it won't work. It only allows the last function to work (in this case alpha).

I have a papervision project and this problem has kept me from going for days. I have Text3D object in my project and I have to reduce and increase the alpha property of this object , and I do it by changing the alpha property of the ViewportLayer that contains this Object. everything works fine but when I change it's text property due to some circumstances I can't work with it's alpha property anymore.
I change it's text like this:
var text1:String = "second string";
mytext3D.text = text1;
I don't (and I can't) use "useOwnContainer" and I use a defined ViewportLayer for this Text3D which I've defined like this:
var textLayer1:ViewportLayer = viewport.getChildLayer(mytext3D);
And I change the alpha property of this "textLayer1" in order to change the alpha of my Text3D object. Everything works fine till I change the text property and after that when I change the alpha of my "textLayer1" nothing happens!

This is really stupid.. But I can't get any DisplayObjects to take an alpha setting.. They remain full opaque no matter what- if I set alpha=.5, 0.0, etc. I'm using Sprites, but I've tried with TextFields and a couple other things.. Is there any setting, or anything about the containing object that would prevent me from setting alpha? I am really confused on this.
Code:
subItemHolder=new Sprite( );
subItemHolder.alpha=.50; //Remains fully opaque

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

I have a problem with animation of TextField. I prepared an animation of MovieClip (containing TextField), that in 0.5sec gets 50% alpha. Then I used "Copy movement as ActionScript 3.0..." option.When I copied it into a class and wanted to animate TextField, nothing matters, excepting weird TF movement.Here my button class code - class works alone:
package UI {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;[code]...........

I am using flash to create an animation where text, once converted into a movieclip or a button, fades at a certain point. To do this I am using the text tool and converting the text into a movieclip.
I am trying to make the text fade away by using the alpha property, but the preview will never adjust the movieclips alpha value. I've tried embedding the font and linking it but it still just doesn't work.

I converted a static text field to a mc then thirty frames later inserted a keyframe and droped the mc's alpha to zero.. then created a motion tween between the keyframes... yet for some reason the text isnt fading when I test the movie... it works fine in the flash authoring environment as you click through the frames but it doesnt in the test movie mode.. any suggestions? ( i broke the text apart down to shapes and it worked fine, but that of course will cause indexing problems for content with google so this really isnt an option)

I have imported an object "DD_dropdown_clip" from the stage with this code:
[Code]...
The object is a black field. The fn "setup" writes text on this field. The problem with the code commented out is that it changes the alpha of both the black field and the text, whereas I simply want to change the alpha of the black field. How can I do this? Can I do it in the IDE?

I've got a movieClip containing a background and 3 dynamic text inputs, that I'm trying to tween via the tween class.When I apply the alpha tween, the background within the movieClip does fade to 0 like it should, but the dynamic text inputs do NOT.I was wondering if anyone could explain how I could get this working, so that an alpha tween to a movieClip also alpha tween everything within it. It was my understanding that the point of putting things into a movieClip was so that you didn't have to apply to each element of the movieClip.

We need to show transparency (around 70%) in the text in textarea and other components in Flex 3.5 SDK. I checked up and found these: I could use an embeded font (only ttf) and make it transparent. Now as per client requirement we have to use different sizes of Verdana only. Even If I download Verdana font in ttf format then how will I make it transparent? Using gradient boxes around the text - I found a link but this seems a heavy procedure.

I have a slight issue with a dynamically created text field I have. Basically I have a movieclip already on stage, and within it, using actionscript I create a text field in itAll that works, however when I animate the alpha of the parent movieclip from 0 to 100, the text field is always there, it never fades in. It looks wierd too, like the movielip will fade in, but the text will be there already without the fade, even though that textfield is inside the moveliphere's my code;
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = new TitleFont().fontName;
my_fmt.color = 0xFFFFFF;

I have run into this problem multiple times and never been able to find an answer, but this time rather than doing a work around, I wanted to try once-and-for-all to see if anyone has an answer.With actionscript I'm creating a new movieclip, then having that movieclip create a text field. I'm populating this text field with content pulled from an XML file, and also controlling its color, size, ect. with the same XLM document.I'm trying to set its alpha to 0, then have Tweener tween it in to 100, but have never been successful.Has anyone run into this and found a way to do it?

I'm making an interface with quite a few dynamically generated instances of the Button component. I'm trying to animate the buttons' alpha. The graphical elements in the buttons change alpha as expected, but the text label does not. I thought this issue would be fixed simply by using setStyle() to specify an embedded font, but even with an embedded font I cannot alter the alpha.

I have some text which was set up with an alpha fade-in motion tween (0-100%) and worked fine until the text was made dynamicaly loaded from a text file and variable. Now it still shows the fade-in in work mode, but during play it just pops directly to the final 100% state.

just spotted this curious trick. If you want to flip something to go invisible on a click, and then reappear on another click (etc etc), try this:
create the sprite, setting alpha to either to 1 OR -1
mySprite.alpha=1; //OR
mySprite.aplha=-1;

I have a grid of animated dynamic text boxes that are being pushed in from an array. This works great. I was wondering if it possible to have those randomly bolded? If that is not possible, than could their alpha's be random but not any lower than 50%. I know AS3 does 0-1 but how would you force it to not be lower than a certain number?
PHP Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;var myArray:Array=["Person1","Per2","theLongerPerson3","Person4","p5","p6","People1","Peep2","theLong

I have generated several TextFields dynamically through a for loop. I would like all the text fields to have their alpha set to 0 so that each field can eventually fade in.
When I apply the alpha property by setting it to 0, or even .5 the text appears to still be at an alpha of 1. Does anyone know how to make the text appear with a low to 0 alpha?
I have attached the code from the function which runs the for loop to generate the text fields. Please not that the value of the text fields are stored in a global array, and the text format objects are also global and are declared in the main body of the class.

I am currently trying to set a movieclips alpha property from an external text file. The movieclip is called Text_Main_Slide1
The text file:
banner_settings_468x60.txt
which contains:
&Alpha_Main_Slide1=0&
I have currently written:
loadVariables("banner_settings_468x60.txt", 0);
Text_Main_Slide1._alpha = Alpha_Main_Slide1;
which doesn't work.I can however set it manually: Text_Main_Slide1._alpha = 0;
But I need to be able to set the number from the text file.
