ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Get Any Alpha Other Than Full Opaque To Work?
Nov 5, 2009This 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

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change Alpha Of Mc On Stage With XML?
Nov 5, 2009Let me try to explain what I'm doing. I have multiple movieClips (mc_aitkin, mc_anoka, there will be a lot more) on the stage that I want to change their alpha using data from an xml when it loads. I can isolate the info I want and trace it so it shows in output, but I'm not sure how to use it from there.
I've tried to convert the xml data to a number and do an if/else as shown below, but the only output I get is "not" (from a trace). So I'm guessing the if/else isn't recognizing the xml data as a number?
If I can resolve that, the next step will be to apply this function to the large number of mc's I'll have on the stage. Would that be with something like e.currentTarget.alpha = .5; ?? I don't think I can put it in the same changeAlpha function because there the property of 'e' would be undefined.[code]...

Jan 7, 2011If I have a clip already on the stage. how can I go about having code to set the alpha = 0 so that the clip is default invisible. If I set the alpha in the class constructor it gets reset to what its set on the stage. I tried to use the Event.ADDED event since that gets dispatched before rendering too (I think). I mean If I don't have any choice then I'll just set it to 0 manually . Just was hoping to have the capability to set it in code. So that I can still see the clips on the stage just to make it easy for moving them around if I needed to. Where I need to set the alpha so that it takes effect 'after' the default values get applied..
View 9 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: TextField Alpha Is Wrong On Stage
Oct 27, 2010I have a text caption (two textFields, one acting as a dimmable background and the second including the displayed text) that when added to the stage takes on the default alpha value (1) and is not changed when I address it in mouse_over and mouse_out events.Some background... What I want to accomplish is:
1) a horizontally scrolling image gallery
2) reads image source, caption title, link and page data from an XML file,
3) is re-usable on several web pages (both swf and xml) as it can identify the current page and dynamically display images appropriate to that page from the xml file
4) On image mouse over the image should resize (get bigger) and should pop up the text caption for the image (this is where I am stuck!!!)
5) on image click should take the visitor to a new url
I have cobbled this together from several tutorials and am not a developer.I sense I have gone terribly, terribly wrong with the textField stuff if not with other things too.The caption pops up on the stage at the bottom of the image (where it should be) at run time but at full alpha (1) even though I set it to 0 earlier.I suspect this means I am not loading these objects correctly (but I don't know where I've gone wrong).Then inside the MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events I can't change the opacity attribute which makes me suspect I am not addressing these objects correctly (but I don't know where I have gone wrong here either).[code]
IDE :: Alpha Tween (ease In From 0 To 1) An Object On Stage Over 25 Frames?
Apr 29, 2010I 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.

Feb 25, 2010I'm looking to make a slider bar reveal movie clips on my stage as you drag it along. I've written some sloppy code that works, but isn't smooth by any means. I basically put MCs on different frames on the timeline, and I want those MCs to fade in or out relative to where the pointer is on the bar. This was a workaround, what I think I need is a boolean solution, but I'm not familiar enough with AS to write one from scratch. Here is the code I have so far. Does anyone have any ideas?

Alpha Effect On Text?

View 2 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Set Alpha To 0 For Printing?
Aug 3, 2011I have a game I'm adding a print button to, for users to print their score at the end of the game. The problem is, is that the printing make some of the buttons look weird, for some reason (color is missing, a white box around the button, that should be empty/transparent). This is the script I'm using to print:
Code:
printButton.onPress = function() {
print(drawingArea, "bframe")
}
I've tried a number of ways of making it so the buttons are seen normally, even tracing them as bitmap, but it makes everything lock up when I try to print that way and nothing else seems to work. So I want to temporarily make the buttons invisible, while it's printing, and then go back to vissible once it's done.It's easy enough setting the button alpha to 0, with
Code:
printButton.onPress = function() {
buttonInstanceName._alpha=0;
and then the script to print; it makes it invisible just before it prints, but what I need is way to reset the alpha to 100 once it's done printing.

Aug 10, 2010I'm trying to create a tab system on my website. I have a small 25 pixel tall swf file at the top of the page that acts as the tabs. It uses PHP to communicate with the rest of the site. I have a larger swf below that acts as a directory to my files. When the user finds a file, he or she can open it in a new tab by clicking a certain button. And then switch between tabs using the top swf. I've got all of this down using AS3, but I'm not as good at the basic web design elements. How do I communicate to have every lower layer except for the one that the viewer wants to look at go to 0% alpha? Also, I cannot just have the tab system be all in one swf because some of the files that I want the user to open will be in AS2, which won't run inside an AS3 host.

Professional :: Should Alpha Tween Go 1 To 100 To 1 Or 1 To None To 1
Sep 27, 2010I have a line that starts invisible then becomes solid then invisible again. First keyframe is alpha 1%, should the two keyframes that follow next in the timeline where it shows as full strength colour be left alone, showing still as colour>none in properties, or should I choose alpha and 100% ? Last keyframe again sees it given alpha 1%. ( I was told dont use 0% as it causes flash more work !)What is best practice here? I have many of these to do so leaving keyframes as 'none' for colour would make life much quicker.
