[URL] i want the object to fade out but in the object there's a lot of overlapping pictures and each becomes half transparent. how to make the movieclip to change the alpha as it was without objects?
[Code]....
All the images have to be in timeline 1 on different layers(they all have to be in timeline one........).I have a frame, it has a lot of images on it, with them all set to _alpha = 0;
on a button press the required image has its alpha set to 100;
however this means there will be a lot of images on the screen at once....
If alpha is set to 0 does flash have to still draw the object, is there a better way ?
I'd like to use an image as the background on some dynamic movieclips..Here is my code :-
var sTab:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
sTab.graphics.beginFill(0x007FC7);sTab.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0xFFFFFF);sTab.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 81, 50,
[Code]....
I'm trying to create a custom button with ActionScript 3.0. I'm suing a round rect as background, but I have a problem with it size. This is my custom button class:
[Code]...
I don't know why when I use a size of (40, 20) I get a smaller rectangle than that size.
In drawing a rounded rectangle using the drawRoundRect method is there anyway to smooth out the corner. In my example the corners look like crap.
Code:
var rect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var color:Number = Number("0x"+listColor);
rect.graphics.beginFill(color);
rect.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
rect.graphics.drawRoundRect(0,0,w,h,5);
rect.graphics.endFill();
I'd like to write a draw graphic that is a tweak of drawRoundRect. I can work with curveTo, the problem is I end up drawing all sorts of wierd shapes since I don't understand well the metrics. If I could look at the code for drawRoundRect, I could easily tweak it to my needs.
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to draw a shape with quite precise rounded corners, I'd settle for anything around 3px. Unfortunately Flash has other ideas, and is creating a rounded rectangle with four seemingly different radii. My code is below:
var sq:Shape = new Shape();
sq.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,1);
sq.graphics.drawRoundRect(20,20,20,20,4,4);[code]....
The corners are noticeably different. If I were using a bigger radius it might not be so much of a problem, but because of the small radius of the corners the square just looks odd. Have I missed the drawRoundRectEvenly functio
The corners of a rectangle drawn with drawRoundRect are not very consistent when the curve/ellipse values are very low (2-5px or so), most visibly when there's a border added.Even with hinting turned on, there's still a pretty ugly difference. When set to 3px (horizontal and vertical), the right-side corners look pretty close at around 3px, but the left-side corners are very off, and both look to be maybe 1px curved.
View 1 Repliesok, i'm trying to animate an object's alpha by as...
thats what i thought was corect:
itm3.onRollOver = function() { itm3.gotoAndPlay("over");}itm3.onRollOut = function() { itm3.gotoAndPlay("out");}itm3.onPress = function() {var newsFade:Tween = new Tween (_root.newsMc,alpha,Regular.easeIn,100,1,2,true);
}
not working...
So I have so parts of actionscript which I am figuring out on how to make them one. What I am wanting to do is move an object to the right and fadeout. Here is my code to animate right 10 pixels, this works perfectly.

I recently bought an mp3-player coded in Flash and it works great, except for the fact that I do not want it to appear constantly on the timeline.
The mp3-player is generated throught code, so I was wondering if there is a way to control the alpha of a variable named mp3playerContainer and set it to 0? I have navigation points on frame 25 and 55 where I want this mp3player to not be visible. Could it be an idea to use "currentFrame", so that if currentFrame equals 25 or 55, then alpha of the variable mp3playercontainer will be set to 0?
I'm not sure what is causing this but I have objects that are transparent on the stage till they are called (object.alpha==0). The background image is of a room with fairly bright light.But when the background changes to a dark room the transparent items in front of it have white outlines around them...making the file unusable.
View 1 RepliesI want to have an object start off with an alpha of 0 but then opacity in to 100% later on the timeline BUT I have to use Actionscript.
View 6 RepliesI am very new to Flash and I have the following script:
mouseInterval = setInterval(changeAlpha,10);
function changeAlpha(){ fader_mc.alpha = Math.round(root.mouseX/550*100) }
This is simply to change the Alpha of my object as I change the X value of the mouse cursor. I keep getting the following error message:
1120: Access of undefined property mouseInterval
I'm creating pages with text supported by wav files for training. on the bottom of the page is a progress bar. I want to make a button that when clicked will permenantly
raise the alpha of a movie clip (on a different layer) to 100%. (it is currently set to 0) within the movie clip (hazpop) is a button that will turn the alpha to zero (click to close window) so in theory (not as2) it should be: on mousedown alpha.hazpop=100 I've been combing the forums for days and no-one is talking about alpha.
for a periodic table tool I'm making, I've incorporated an effect that changes the alpha value whenever I hover over an element (pretty standard). I've noticed a mysterious gain in memory when hovering over my elements; using SYSTEM.TOTAL_MEMORY - there would be about 0.005MB increase in memory usage when I hover over an element, which isn't relinquished when I move my mouse off. However, if I move my mouse back on again, there isn't a second memory gain.
[Code]...
Does anyone know why this memory gain is happening when the alpha value is changed? And curiously why it only happens once? Some extra info: my Element class is a MovieClip, with a couple of TextFields, primitive variables and a MovieClip in it. It has had its mouseChildren property set to false (and buttonMode property set to true).
I'm building a custom UI for a program and I'm having trouble with a mouse event on an object that is visible, but is |. Imagine the top object being a frame and the lower object being a photo. I want to detect mouse events on the photo. So what happens currently is that only mouse events on the top object are detected. Thoughts on how to get around this?
View 3 RepliesI want to achieve the effect on [URL]. The effect on the left on the about page in which when the mouse moves over the alpha of the object goes to 0%. I have all the layers set up with masks and all but need the action script. I tried applying the following code to a mask which I converted to a movieclip.
on(rollover){
this._alpha--;
}
But this did not work for some reason.
I have an interval problem.
Code:
//function for fading in objects
function fadeIn(theMc:MovieClip, fadeParam:Number) {
if (theMc._alpha < 100) {
theMc._alpha += fadeParam;
trace(theMc._alpha);
[Code] .....
I made a small function for fading in objects. Once the object its alpha is larger then 100, it should stop that interval, but it doesn't.
I want to alpha tween (ease in from 0 to 1) an object on stage over 25 frames. And after the tween is over i want the object to persist on the stage and in the timeline. How can i do that?afaik i have to extend the tween in the timeline beyond the keyframe with 1 alpha. But when i do that this also extends the time of the tween from 0 to 1 and it actually lowers the alpha 1 in the keyframe automatically to some figure that fits with the ease in which apparently spans the entire tween.
View 8 RepliesI want to mask an object which will contain text and images. I want the mask to be feathered at the bottom end, for a nice smooth effect when it animates into place. For my masking object, I've created a movie clip with a gradient, using a matrix fill. When I apply the mask, it works, but only as a rectangle. The feathered area (the grey bit) still masks completely. I'm stumped with this one. I've searched around for an explanation, but can't get it to work. Does anyone know of any examples of this working?

i have this: object1.addChild(object2); object1.alpha = 0,5; How can object2 preserve it's initial alpha?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying (and struggling) to get my head around AS3 and am building a flash webpage. I have 2 layers in the timeline, each containing a movie clip matching the page size with instance names backgroundDay and backgroundNight. What I'm wanting is for the background to change for the day and night, so that from 18:00 to 06:00 the alpha of backgroundDay becomes 0 to show backgroundNight behind.
View 5 RepliesI have a button I am creating from 2 movieclips in the library. One is the button body (shape converted to MC). The 2nd is a series of button logo PNG's for an additional visual button state change.I add the logo MC with addChild to the button body. Then I add the button body to display/stage container. ll is layered correctly.If I add alpha or transform the color to the button body, it goes to the top - covering the button logo.Not applying the color or alpha to the button body and applying a color or alpha to the button logo has not effect (displays correctly).
View 4 Repliesjust 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;
[code]....
using AS, on loading a movie a solid shape is there with alpha at 100% then over a period of 5 secs its alpha is reduced to 0.
i'm new to this......please help if you want to if you don't have a good weekend but think of me struggling onwards and upwards...
