I'm struggling with something rather simple in flash at the moment. Imagine you have two movieclips ontop of eachother. Both of these movieclips have identical movieclips within them. If I fade out the top movieclip I expect to see no change at all, but for some reason I can see the fade happen. It's like actionscript is fading out the sub movieclips independently. Anyone know how to get around this? I don't want to be able to see any fade at all.[code]
What have I done wrong here? I need a movieClip to fade out, pause, then a new movieClip to fade in.
[Code]....
What I've tried to do is to set the target_MC alpha to 0 and fade out the current mc. Then when the fadeOut has completed to setTimeOut. After this the mcs will swapDepths and the target_MC should fade up to alpha = 0I've attached the flash and xml files. The images were too large.
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 would like to make a fade in and fade out movieclip. However I want it so after it fades out, it will not loop and start over. In essence fade in and fade out and thats it.
I need to produce an image gallery which when a thumbnail is pressed it loads a new image, fades out the previous image then fades in the new one.I have it fading in but I don't know how to fade the previous image out before.Here is my code so far:
import mx.transitions.Tween;import mx.transitions.easing.*;var imageLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader() ;var imageListener:Object = new Object () ;imageLoader.addListener(imageListener); imageListener.onLoadInit = function()[code]....
Ive been using flash for years (for animation) but ive only just started properly looking at actionscript.What Im doing is making a flash site, in which when you click a menu item the current page fades out, the new one fades in.Here is what I have:
Code:
var selectedPage = "home"; //attach home page holder.attachMovie("home","selectedPage","1");[code]....
It works to the point of loading the home page, and then fading that out when i click a new item on the menu, but it doesnt seem to be loading a newpage in or fading back in.
I'm working with the following code, and want to have my slideshow images fade into each other. At the moment, the picture before, after it's reached its delay setting, just switches off and the next one fades in, meaning the background displays (which isn't desirable)
So 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?
Nowadays I tend to use photoshop and dreamweaver more than flash. how to do it? I can make the fading out movie clip, but it's just a case of telling the button to do that on release of it!
I am just learning Actionscript 3, and I know what I want to do - I mean, I can see the end result. First of all, I am getting an error (I'll start with that):[code]The buttons and the main_mc are on the main timeline. I want to click on a "gallery" button, have the previous page (whatever the user was on) fade out, and then have the "gallery" page fade in. I have been working with a Lynda.com tutorial,[code]
I have added a reflection, and it works just great. But i would like to make the right and the left side fade to transparent. I have tried to make a little demo here: [URL]
The first movie looks good, but only because I have faded from nothing to black and the background is black on the home page. And as you can see, the movie does not look that great, when the background is white.
I found this link: [URL], but I can't figure out how to implement it into my already "working" slideshow.
i'm trying to cobble together a working website for my photography. I would like to know if there is any actionscript that when a button is pressed on layer 1 it will fade out a movieclip on layer 2 and goto and play frame 5 i have the movieclip instance name set to "ran". This movie clip loads random pictures onto my website and here is the actionscript currently for it "_root.ran.attachMovie("img"+(random(8)+1),rand,1) ;"
I have a movie clip that houses 5 text boxes. I need to fade up/down alpha of everything in it. As a test, using the movie clip that holds the text boxes seg_mc.alpha = 10 doesn't work. Zero is completely transparent or 1 is 100%.
I've written my first function the only problem...... it doesn't work properly. Here's my function: Code: function fade() { i = 1; while(i<10){ roll._alpha = roll._alpha - 10; i++ if(i>=10){ gotoAndStop(1); trace("boe"); }}}
The function is located at the second frame inside a mc called "FLASH" , even as the mc "roll". The mc "FLASH" has the next piece of code: Code: on(rollOver){ gotoAndPlay(2); }on(rollOut){ this.fade(); } So when you rollover it, you will go to frame 2 in mc "FLASH", where my function and the mc "roll" are. But when I roll out, mc "roll" won't fade out...
I have movieclip controlled by a button. by rollover on the button the movieclip transition starts working and I want that on rollout the movieclip will disappear in smooth fade. (the movieclip and the button have an instance name).
I have a movieclip called iconinterface_mc and inside of that movieclip I have another movieclip called smsinter_mc iv created a button inside smsinter_mc and I want the button to bring the user back to the iconinterface_mc.
I have on my stage different sub menues which Id like to have fade out when I press a certain button. Thought I could do with _alpha, but I only fades a certain procentage. Not all the way.
ActionScript Code: on (press) {</p> <p>_root.contact._alpha -= 5;</p> <p> if (_root.contact._alpha<10) {</p> <p> _root.contact._alpha = 0;</p> <p> }}
Which I thought would work, but it only fades it 5% add a time. How do I make it fade completely?
I'm using movie clips to make buttons because I want a image to fade in and out. When you click on it it should jump to a different frame but it does not happen. I'm not should if it's trying to go in to the frame in the movie clip or or not. How do I get that movie clip when I use the on release to gotoandplay on the main sence and not the movie clip? There was an image in the background but for size, I had to delete it to upload it. Not important but pointing it out for some reason.
mySQL called by PHP writes info to my xml file for feeding into flash. The movie displays x number of randomly called bits of info - an image, name and link - this is all handled by the sql query and php commands. It forms a nice wee xml file - good so far. In flash, I am using the duplicate movieclip function to display my info in a grid style and all encapsulated in a scrollable window. What I want to move on to do is have these "tiles" in the grid then fading out after x number of seconds and fading back in with a different set of results pulled from the xml file. I have made a few attempts but just can't seem to get my head around the arrays and ways I need to manipulate my existing code (below) to my requirements!
I have a movie clip that is a motion tween with a shape with fade... Now I want to put this mc as a mask .. and showing a part of an image with lot of this mc's. I know that I have to use duplicate movie clip, but the mc as mask isn't working.
I'm new to the forums and to actionscript. I've been trying to get a simple fade out of a logo to work. I converted the logo to a movieclip called logo_mc I click on the logo_mc movieclip and insert this actionscript.
[Code]...
I have also tried putting the code on the main timeline without any success. If I understand correctly this should see if the alpha is greater than 0 and if it is it should decrease the value by five increments until it reaches 0.
When you use LoadMovie to load a SWF, does that SWF stay loaded, or does it get reloaded every subsequent time you use the LoadMovie function for that same SWF? I use the LoadMovie function in several buttons to load SWFs into my movie. In those same buttons, I use a function which fades a different (already present) movieclip in. However, the LoadMovie call seems to block out the movie clip which needs to fade in; when I click the button, it loads the SWF just fine, the movieclip just doesn't fade in (or it does, but I can't see it), when I comment the LoadMovie call out, the movieclip fades in just fine (and I can see it). Also, I load the SWFs into an empty movieclip, which is beneath all other layers, so that's not the problem.
In my button: Code: on(release){ _root.home.fade(0,100,10); _root.content.loadMovie("home.swf"); }
I've tried: Code: on(release){ _root.content.loadMovie("home.swf"); _root.content.swapDepths(1000); _root.home.fade(0,100,10); } But, that doesn't get me anywhere, either.
My issue is: I have a mp3 player running in a movieclip and I want the sound volume to fade off when I press play on a video loaded from Youtube, which is in another movieclip.
In other words, I'd like to toggle the sound on and off when the video is on or off.
I've created a movieclip that is supposed to begin the movie with a rotation (it's a globe) and at a specific frame it should beginning to fade out. I've inserted the folowing code to the rotation and for this action it is working perfectly Code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { i = getProperty(this,_rotation); setProperty(this,_rotation,i + 0.5); } But, when I try to insert any other line for the _alpha, a sintaxe error occurs and the rotation doesnt works.
Movieclip I want to fade out: "StartupText_mc" Within "StartupText_mc" I have a frame labels "normal" on the first frame and "over" on the last. On the actions layer I have "stop();" on the first and last frame. On the third layer I have a simple alpa tween from 100% to 0%.
Now, Back to the main scene where the button "ProductMarketingIcon2_mc" and "StartupText_mc" exist next to each other. Here is the code I have for the button:
I have a long screen shot that I have put in a scroll panel. I want the user to be able to point to a specific field and then have a tool tip fade in, hold for as long as it takes to read, and then fade out onRollout. To implement this I covered all the fields in the scroll panel with a transparent button symbol. Then for each field, I create two moviclips. The first fades in on rollover and stops. The second one starts visible then fades out on rollout.
However it seems that the more of these I do, the more unstable the code gets. In some instances it works just as designed. In other instances somtimes the tool tip doesn't appear, somtimes the fade tween dosn't play. And another issue is that the longer I play the .swf the more unstable it becomes. A snippet of my code for one field/button combination is shown below. I'm very new to AS. How can I Improve the performance?
I have the same code for each field in the scroll panel. I put stop(); as the last statement in the Action layer. All the code and the movie clips reside in the first frame.
how do I script a movieclip to repeatedly fade/move/scale from x to z back to x to z again and again..I've tried onEnterFrame with ..if statements and whatnot but with no luck.[code]
is it possible to modify this script to make images load like a fade in/fade out slideshow. It works with buttons to action the transition I want, but I want a similar script to play a simple slideshow with same transitions.
I have 5 buttons that need to, when clicked fade the image in the background out and fade a new picture in. each of these buttons has a specific image related to it. how can i achive this smooth transition in and out for all of the buttons?
