Flash :: AS 2 Fade In And Fade Out Audio With As

My Fade Out / Fade In Script. Fade Out Works, Why Not Fade In? Any Ideas?
Hello all,
Hopefully this is just a simple problem with my code.

I have a container on the stage. When the loaded clip gets to the last frame it triggers the decreaseAlpha() function on the root level. This fades the current container out and works fine.

However I also want it to load the next clip(which it does) and fade that clip in. This doesn't work. It doesnt' fade in, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!!

Code:
function decreaseAlpha(boxName, clipName){
boxName.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(boxName._alpha > 0){
boxName._alpha -= 15;
}if(boxName._alpha < 5){
delete boxName.onEnterFrame;
increaseAlpha(boxName, clipName);
}
}
}
function increaseAlpha(boxName, clipName){
loadMovie(clipName, boxName);
boxName._alpha = 0;
boxName.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(boxName._alpha < 100){
boxName._alpha += 15;
}if(boxName._alpha == 100){
delete subboxName.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}

Alpha Fade In, Tint Fade In And Then Fade Out
Just wondering, do u guys usually use actionscript to do alpha and tint fade? or just use the propeties tween control?

i heard that using actionscript will be better as it will not lag if the user's computer is slow....

here is to get a better idea what i'm trying to achieve using tweening
http://h-y-p-h-e-n-s.net/main.swf

To Alpha fade in, white tint fade in and then fade out white tint to original state.

I knoww how to script the alpha fade in but i have problem with the tint fade. I also have read through every line of http://actionscript.org/tutorials/ad...de/index.shtml
but i just don't know how to go about implementing it to my case.

i will really appreciate it if u can help enlighten me

FADE Audio In A MC
What I have done is created a Movie Clip (MC) containing nothing but a looping .mp3 file, which I am using as background music. What I would like to do … is create an Action Script (if possible) that will FADE out all audio. That way, when a user goes to another page, the audio isn’t cut off abruptly. Is there a way to do this?

Fade Out Audio On Pop-up Window
Hello!

I'm trying to do the same thing that 2Advanced does on their site. When you click a site in their portfolio, A new window opens and the audio from the main site fades out.

The site I'm working on is for a band. There will be music playing when the main flash file is loaded. When you click on a seperate flash file (in the navigation), I want the audio in the main flash file to stop (preferrably fade out)as a pop-up window with additional music loads.

Hope this makes sense ... sometimes I even confuse myself.

Thanks!

Fade Out Audio For Intro
hi,

im trying to fade out music for an intro im doing, i'd like the music to fade out at frame 485.

My mp3 audio is set to 'stream' and has a linkage name of 'MySound' (dunno if this makes a difference)

I tried:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

CurrentVolume = root.MySound.getVolume();

if (CurrentVolume > 0) {

_root.MySound.setVolume(CurrentVolume - 1);

}

But it didnt work, im not sure what im doing wrong?

Preloader Audio Fade Out
I have created a preloader with audio and want the audio to fade out once the total bytes loaded is =<95%. the audio for the preloader is an attached sound object. Any help is much appreciated!

Audio Fade Out Button
I am trying to make a simple button that will fade out a song I have playing for an ecard I just finished.

The button returns the user to the main part of the whole thing and I just want the audio to fade out rather than abruptly stopping with the stopAllSounds() I am using now.

The audio is streaming, I don't know if that makes a difference.

I don't have any code that I have started. I assume I have to set some variables for the loaded sound then write a function to decrease the volume, but I am new to this and I am not having any luck.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Audio Fade In And Out With An If/else Statement
hey - trying to get an if/else statement working for an audio fade.

I want the audio to fade in if the volume is set to zero otherwise it means the volume is already set to 100 or the audio has been shut off. I can't seem to get it working both ways.

here is the if/else i am trying to get working:

Code:
if (_global.musicplaying == true) {
if (bgmusic.vol =! 100) {
(_root.fade=!_root.fade) ? 1 : 0;
} else {
null();
}
}
and here is the actual code controlling the fade:

Code:
var vol = 100;
var step = 20;
var fade = 0;
onEnterFrame = function () {
// set fade out
if (fade) {
vol = vol-step;
if (vol<0) {
vol = 0;
}
bgmusic.setVolume(vol);
// set fade in
} else {
vol = vol+step;
if (vol>100) {
vol = 100;
}
bgmusic.setVolume(vol);
}
};
Thanks in advance.

Fade Out Audio Loaded Via XML
I'm building a flash site in which I have an mp3 player loaded via XML which deals with the background music during navigation. However when you visit a certain section, this music must be turned off and replaced by a different mp3 file (not on the original playlist). This works OK. The problem I'm facing is that I want the original music to fade out and not stop abruptly. I've tried a number of scripts which deal with fading out sound (using set interval mainly) but none seems to work. Any ideas on how to deal with this?

Fade My Streaming Audio With ActionScript?
I posted this in the sound fourm as well but there might be some actionscript that can do this... can anyone help me?:

I have a my movie all set up.. on my bottom frame I have a streaming piece of audio.. what I need is to when a user hits a button it fades the sound from 100 to 0... now I can not set my audio up in a movie clip cause i want to stream the audio and different things will be hapening at different pieces of the audio so it has to be on the bottom frame for sync purposes... can anyone give me some code where a user can hit a button and the audio fades to 0 but then the button changes and the audio comes back UP from 0???

Sorry if this post is confusing... I posted my .FLA in .zip format at the following location if you want to play with it:

Audio Object Fade In Problem
I'm having a problem getting this Audio Object fade in code to work.

Movie Clip name: teaseraudioMC
Linkage ID: teaseraudioID
Instance Name: teaseraudio1

on frame 1 of main timeline I place:

A frame containing the linking Movie Clip and this code in a keyframe in a separate track:

teaseraudio1 = new Sound(teaseraudioMC);
teaseraudio1.attachSound("teaseraudioID");
teaseraudio1Volume=20;

teaseraudio1.setVolume(teaseraudio1Volume);

on a later frame I place:

teaseraudio1.start(0,999);

this.onEnterFrame=function(){
// Fade In
if(fadeIn01==1){
_root.teaseraudio1.setVolume(teaseaudio1Volume);
teaseraudio1Volume=teaseraudio1Volume+2;
if(teaseraudio1Volume>99){
fadeIn01=0;
}
}
}

The code in the first frame works and the audio starts at the chosen volume but the fade in action does not work.

What is missing?

In the Kenny Bellew Tutorial is this statement about the fade in code:

"The following is some example code that can be used to fade in a sound *when a variable becomes true*"

Is there any statement I have to add to my keyframe to make a "variable true"?

I'm desperate to make this (and the associated fade Out code) work.

All help greatly appreciated!

After Fade Out, New Audio Wont Play
I just posted a strig about fading out audio at the end of a scene, SEE HERE , it fades out fine now but when the scene changes, the audio in that scene is set to 0 and I cant get it to start at 100!

how can I tell the scene before to stop fading at 0?

heres the code I'm using now -

stop();
vol = 100;
step = 1; // can be changed to fade out slower or quicker...
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace("Fading. Volume = "+vol);
// set fade out
vol = vol-step;
if (vol<0) {
vol = 0;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
hopesfallsound.setVolume(vol);
};

and this is whats at the beginning of the next scene -

redshiftsound = new Sound(this);
redshiftsound.attachSound("redshift");
redshiftsound.start(6,99);

AND.. that comes after ive said stopallsounds (just to make sure theres no overlap)

How Can I Fade Out A Streaming Audio File?
Hi all,
  I have a flash file that utilizes the "//Load Streaming mp3 behavior" ( found in Windows/Behaviors/Sound/Load mp3 Streaming File ) on a keyframe in the timeline.

  That part works just fine.  For now, I have a button that utilizes the "//stopAllSounds Behavior".  That part works fine too.. however, I don't like the abrupt sound stoppage.  I'd really like to have the streaming file fade out instead of stop suddenly.  I don't care whether this happens via a button behavior or on a keyframe.  Right now I'd like to use whichever is easiest because my ActionScripting knowledge is really poor.

Here's the link to the site I am building ( still rough ).  The flame pit is the audio on/off switch.

Actionscript To Load Random External Movie, Fade In, Wait, Fade Out, Repeat
Hello,
I'm trying to construct some AS3 that will load a random one of several external swf files, fade the instance in, wait 5 seconds, fade the instance out, and load a new random movie (it can be the same one; I don't want to get too complicated at this point).
I could do this with no problem using older methods, but the client insists this is written in 3.
Please help; I'm at my wits end!

Newbie Question - Fade In Fade Out While Trning On And Turning Off A Music Loop
Hello everyone,
This is what I want to accomplish. I want to make my music loop fade in when turning on and fade out while turning off. I'm attaching the .fla of what I have now.

Currently the music loop stops abruptly when the pause button is clicked and starts suddenly when the play button is clicked. I want to smooth this action out and make it fade in when play button clicked fade out when pause button clicked. Hope you got my point.

I have added my sample .fla to show how have I added the music loop and the buttons.

Have this chunk of action script in it to load the music loop and play it infinitely.

PHP Code:

mySound = new Sound();
mySound.attachSound("myloop");
mySound.start("0", "999");

This bit on the puse button with an instance name pauseBTN

PHP Code:

on (release) {
    mySound.stop();
    playing = false;
    playBTN._visible = true;
    pauseBTN._visible = false;
}

and this bit on to the play button with an instance name playBTN

PHP Code:

on (release) {
    if (playing != true) {
        mySound.start(0, 999);
        playing = true;
        playBTN._visible = false;
        pauseBTN._visible = true;
    }
}

Multiple Fade In Fade Out Events On Different Sentences From A Text File?
Hi there

i've just learned to use flash to produce a flash doc that displays the tibetan mind training slogans. they're basically 59 sentences: be a child of illusion, always maintain a joyful state of mind etc etc.

anyway, i'm wondering if anyone knows how i can make it easier to achieve this. at present i've done it by creating individual fade in fade out events along a time line. but it strikes me that it should be possible to create just one fade in, fade out event and get flash to apply this event to all subsequent sentences. even better would be if i could just get flash to pull each sentence from a plain text file. does anyone know how to do this? maybe actionscript can do this. then it would be easy to create a flash file for learning anything from vocabulary to history quotes!

you can view it here:
http://www.geocities.com/tamsin_dev...saverfinal7.swf

here's the flash file
http://www.geocities.com/tamsin_dev...saverfinal7.fla

also, how can introduce a random element into this, so that any of the 59 slogans will be picked.

if you need any further info please contact me at tamsin_devas@yahoo.co.uk i can send you the slogan source files as well if you want.

eventually i want to create a screen saver.

thanks for any help you can provide. i'll write your name in tibetan if you want.

AS2 - Refine My Code...it Sucks : Six Clips Fade. Rollover One...other Fade Out
So I have six movie clips. When you rollover one I want the other five to fade out. this code that I did works but it has a potential to break with quick strokes. Any help would be great thanks. I also have a button surrounding the six clips that fade all back up. The reason for that is while they are going from clip to clip i dont want them to fade in a out.

Audio Controls + Fade Script = Conflict
Last edited by tedbeargeo : 2004-07-11 at 07:31.

First off - I'm an illustrator turned graphic designer so scripting is not my strong point. But I think I should at least know some basic Actionscript so I'm working on figuring out an audio control panel and I'm creating it by combining several scripts:

+ A Dynamic Sound Fade tutorial found at Flash Kit.com

+ And "Chapter 9. Audio and Bitmap" from the New Riders book - "Flash MX Magic"

I've got it working for the most part, i.e., the audio fades in and out at the appropriate times, the play, stop, next, and previous buttons all work and the volume controls work ... the only problem is the "Fade" portion of the script insists on fading the audio back in after a "user" lowers the volume using the volume controls. I've tried a bunch of things including plugging "clearInterval(fade);" into several places with no success and SO, I figure it's time to turn to the experts for some help. It would be much appreciated if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong! My goal here is to learn how to do this right. Here's the script:

onClipEvent (load) {
/////////////////////////////////////////// Set Initial Variables
playing = "true";
vol = 0;
OtherWorlds6 = new Sound(this);
OtherWorlds6.attachSound("OtherWorlds6");
OtherWorlds6.start(0, 666);
/////////////////////////////////////////// Set volume
OtherWorlds6.setVolume(0);
/////////////////////////////////////////// Dynamic Sound FADE
fade = setInterval(fadeIn, 100);
function fadeIn() {
vol += 3;
OtherWorlds6.setVolume(vol);
if (vol>=100) {
clearInterval(fade);
// create the 'step' variable
step = 1;
// create the 'fade' variable
Fade = 0;
}
}
_parent.onEnterFrame = function() {
// set fade out
if (Fade == 1) {
vol = vol-step;
if (vol<0) {
vol = 0;
}
OtherWorlds6.setVolume(vol);
// set fade in
} else {
vol = vol+step;
if (vol>100) {
vol = 100;
}
OtherWorlds6.setVolume(vol);
}
};
/////////////////////////////////////////// END - Dynamic Sound FADE
/////////////////////////////////////////// Functions to Control
/////////////////////////////////////////// Music Selection

playing = "true";
OtherWorlds6.start(0, 666);

Photo Slideshow - Fade Out/fade In (alpha) - Flash5
Hi all & merry Christmas

For a Photographers portfolio I want to create a fade-out/in effect for when people select one of the photos. All the photos are stored within one SWF.

So OnRelease the selected photo loads and a Var is set. The current photo is being set graduately to alpha 0% and the loaded new photo (which is a MC) is moved to the highest level while this one is being set immediately to alpha 100%.

If I think about it, what I need to code is...

- a var in which the current image is set
- a function which checks what image/mc is in the var
- a function which says something like this:
on release move new image to layer/level below current image (which is on toplevel) and set to 100% ;
set the current image (as set in var) gradually to 0% alpha
and as last move new loaded image to toplevel...

(all images would be put in an SWF which would be loaded into the main SWF)

unfortunately my AS knowledge is fairly limited, so I have no clue how to script this???

anyone an idea or possibly a tutorial which could sort me out???

thanks so much

Actionscript To Fade In/fade Out Picture Depending On Frame?
I've searched the board but I can't figure out the answer to my question. I just want to fade in/out a movieclip. I can do this with tweens, but I'm really interested in how this would be done with actionscript.

How could I make it so that the fade in occurs with frames 1-15, stops, and then starting with 16 fades out?

I do have some code that will import a picture into a movieclip and fade it in, but I'm not sure how to alter the code so that the pic fades out on frame 16. The code below is fairly detailed... I would not mind a basic solution!!

Thanks for your help!

PHP Code:

init = function () {
        this.myContainer = this.createEmptyMovieClip("cont", 1);
    cont._x = 0;
    cont._y = 130;
        this.myContainer._alpha = 0;
        this.myContainer.loadMovie("picture.jpg");
        this.preloadJpg();
        };

preloadJpg = function() {
        this.onEnterFrame = function() {
                if (this.myContainer.getBytesLoaded()>100 && this.myContainer.getBytesLoaded()>=this.myContainer.getBytesTotal()) {
                        this.fadePicIn();
                        }
        };
};
fadePicIn = function() {
        if(this.myContainer._alpha < 100){
                this.myContainer._alpha += 10;
        } else {
                this.onEnterFrame = undefined;
        }
}
this.init();

How Do I Create A Smooth Trasition Between My Pages - Fade Out / Then Fade In
Hi

I'm trying to make a mask reveal content1 on my Flash site

Then when i press a button i want the maske to play in reverse, so it hides the content1 before revealing content2.

I have seen lots of templates do this but havent been able to figure out how it is done in a simple fashion.

i guess it would be something like using the IF statement and the <>
but could someone write the FULL script to my button.

Lets say i have a MC that has 4 labels.... label1, label2, label3, label4.

I'm in the label1 frame
and when i press the label4

i want label1 to mask out (hide content of label1)
and once that is done i want a mask to reveale the content of label4.

If someone has a small .fla that does this in a simple way please email it to me.

THANKS

Xml Slideshow Fade In And Fade Out Assistance (code Supplied)
Hi all,

Can someone help me out here - needing someone to point out (or offer!) the solution. 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)

CODE BEGINS ------------------------------------------------------

Alpha Fade Image, Wait, Fade Out, Next Frame
Greeting,

After three hous of review I have now looked at so many scripts (here and elsewhere) of fading in/out that I am more confused instead of less confused, which seems odd I know.

Here is what I have and what I want to do. I am using MX.

I have twenty images, one one each frame of a movie clip, placed around the stage. I want the imges placed instead of loaded so that I can control where they appear on the stage. I would like each image to fade in, stay on the stage for 4 seconds, fade out, and then go to the next frame (and repeat with the image located on that frame). Does anybody have any scripts that already do this. I am a beginner and I am not that famaliar with action scripting. I think what I need to do is use an onEnterFrame, with an alpha fade in, some type of delay/counting script, and then a fade-out, and go to the next frame.

I know that you all have thousands of things you could be doing instead of helping me, so please know that I appreciate it.

Fade Out And Fade In Bteween Scenes Or Movie Clips
I'm a beginner and doing some experiments. Can anybody help me to explain how we make a fade out and in effect to whole thing when we click on a button? Your kind help in this topic is highly appreciated.

Refine My Code : Six Clips Fade. Rollover One...other Fade Out
So I have six movie clips. When you rollover one I want the other five to fade out. this code that I did works but it has a potential to break with quick strokes. Any help would be great thanks. I also have a button surrounding the six clips that fade all back up. The reason for that is while they are going from clip to clip i dont want them to fade in a out.

Photo Slideshow - Fade Out/fade In (alpha) - Flash
Hi all & merry Christmas

For a Photographers portfolio I want to create a fade-out/in effect for when people select one of the photos. All the photos are stored within one SWF.

So OnRelease the selected photo loads and a Var is set. The current photo is being set graduately to alpha 0% and the loaded new photo (which is a MC) is moved to the highest level while this one is being set immediately to alpha 100%.

If I think about it, what I need to code is...

- a var in which the current image is set
- a function which checks what image/mc is in the var
- a function which says something like this:
on release move new image to layer/level below current image (which is on toplevel) and set to 100% ;
set the current image (as set in var) gradually to 0% alpha
and as last move new loaded image to toplevel...

(all images would be put in an SWF which would be loaded into the main SWF)

unfortunately my AS knowledge is fairly limited, so I have no clue how to script this???

anyone an idea or possibly a tutorial which could sort me out???

thanks so much

Quick Fade In / Fade Out On RollOver / RollOut
While taking a break from trying to figure out how to accomplish something in Flash MX 2004, I stumbled upon a site that is a perfect example of what I'm trying to do.

http://www.aperfectcircle.com

The project I'm working on has a circular navigation system with eight buttons around the circumference of the circle. The actual buttons are just symbols, so I want to have the name of the link quickly fade in above the middle of the circle when you mouseover a button, and then the name quickly fades out when the mouse leaves that button's hit area. I don't want to use tweened animation in a MC on the button's over state, because I want the fading to be totally smooth if you quickly move from one button to another, or if you move the mouse out of the hit area before it has fully faded in. I know there is a way to do this with hitstate and _alpha, but I have never used these commands before, and I can't find a very clear example of how to implement this behaviour with them.

So, in short, I need to put a script on a button, that will fade in another MC on rollover, and fade it out on rollout.

Please look at the site mentioned above to see exactly what I'm talking about, and thanks for any insight you can provide.

Dynamic Text - Fade In And Fade Out; Is This Doable?
All,

I've written a Flash file that reads variables from a txt and places these into a dynamic text box...I use setInterval to move from value to value. The movie works/looks fine, but I would like to jazz it up by having the text fade in and out of the dynamic text box (or slide in and fade out)....

My code, which appears in a single frame, looks like this:

// load the live update scores variables
function drawMe() {
loadVariablesNum("live_scores.txt", 0);
}

// load the variables defined in the drawMe function
var quitID;
quitID=setInterval(drawMe, 1000);

// set the counter
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
loadVariablesNum("player_stats.txt", 0);
count = "0";

// load the individual scores variables
function statMe() {
if (Number(count)==Number(numvars)) {
count = "0";
loadVariablesNum("player_stats.txt", 0);
} else {
count = Number(count)+1;
set("var", eval("var" add count) );
}
}
// load the variables defined in the statID function
var statID;
statID=setInterval(statMe, 5000);
stop();

Is there anyone out there who knows how to add fade in / fade out functionality to my movie? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...thx in advance for your help...!

Regards,

Mike

Fade In / Fade Out Multiple Movie Clips - Help Me
I have a flash website that is setup linearly into different sections. Lets call them Section 1 through 5. The page is divided in two. On the left side is my navigation. On the right side is my content. On the left side behind my buttons is a picture. I have 5 different pictures, 1 for each section. So, what i want to do is when you click on a button and go to a new section I want it to fade-out the bottom picture and fade-in the new picture and take you to the new content section.

Anyone know how to do this? I don't know much actionscript, but I'd like to do this w/o having to make a ton of movie clips.

I've been messing with this all day...Please help.

Thanks

Help With Content Fade In/fade Out Button Actionscript
Hello to all you people who are far, far more clever than me!

I've been searching the discussion pages for the answer to this, and I've found a few posts that are similar, but because the problems are just slightly different from mine I just don't understand what is going on. I've tried looking in the Flash MX help and that just confused me more!

I will attempt to explain my problem clearly. I have 5 buttons on the main (Scene 1) timeline. Each of these link to a different frame with different content on the main timeline (Scene 1) that is labeled and the links work fine. However, instead of clicking on the buttons and just having the old content disappear and be replaced by the new content, I would like the the old content to fade out and the new content to wipe on.

I have created the motion tweens for each content area (fade out, wipe on), but I know that somehow I am supposed to let the buttons know which button has been clicked and also which part of the timeline to play (which content to fade out and what frame to jump to to fade in). This is to do with variables and stuff but I just can't get my head around it - no matter how hard I try. I get confused with what you're supposed to label and where, and what script needs to be on the very first frame and what needs to be on each button. I know I'll get it one day... hopefully.

If you could help me it would be greatly appreciated, or if this question has already been answered could you please direct me to that post?

Thanking you in advance.

Button To Make One Animation Fade Out, Then A New One Fade In...
I know there's a way, just not in Action Script, I could do this. I want to have a Menu Button, when pressed, tells on movie clip, to go to it's ending animation where it fades out, and then, when that's finished, go the movie clip the button was originally pressed for. The movies are being put into an empty container movie.

So, it goes like this:

Press button > Movie clip one goes to ending animation and fades out > then plays Movie clip that the button was pressed for > which has a fade in animation.

Is that confusing enough yet...

Please can anyone advise the best way to achieve this effect?

Many thanks.

[F8] Button Help: Simple Fade In Fade Out Problem
I really hate to even ask this question because it's one of the more simplistic things you can do in Flash but I've been having trouble getting it to work properly.

I just want to have a button that fades in on rollover and out when the mouse leaves the button. The fade in part works fine but the fade out doesn't work. Funny thing is I got it to work fine on one button but following the same procedure it did not work on the others. I'd prefer to do it with the timeline as it should be simple.

Here's what I'm using
-Movieclip Fade in
-Movieclip Fade out
-Button

I put the fade out in the Up frame. I put the fade in in the Over and the graphic of the button in Hit. It works fine on one but I've been unable to reproduce it on the others. I've closely examined the one that works right and I can't see any difference between the buttons. Is there some idiosycratic procedure of which anyone knows?

Any help or suggestions would be great. I'm sure it's not too much trouble to do it in actionscript but the fact that the basic method isn't working is just frustrating me.

Thanks,
Dave

Mc.onPress In Order To A) Fade Out THEN B) GotoAndStop(#) THEN C) Fade In
I have five menu items, each a mc, each of which needs to link to a different frame on the main time line. When a menu item is clicked the screen should fade out, THEN the play head should go to and stop at the corresponding frame, THEN fade in. I've managed to accomplish the first two parts but in the wrong order, so that the play head goes to the indicated frame BEFORE fading out.

the following code is placed on frame 1 of the actions layer on the main time line:

stop();

//Set alpha of a rectangular mc with black fill to 0
//to be used as a fade out effect to cover whatever
//is on stage below main nav.

black._alpha = 0;

//behindthescenes is one of several menu item movie clips, each of which //should take the user to a corresponding frame on the main time line.

behindthescenes.onPress = function() {
if (!fadeOut) {
fadeOut = true;
// i previously had gotoAndStop(10); placed here but that caused the above
//mentioned problem. I've also tried writing a separate function that would
// advance the playhead if (fadeOut && black._alpha == 100) but this
// function seemed to be ignored wherever i put it.
}
};
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (fadeOut && black._alpha<100) {
black._alpha += 20;
}
};

Thankyou,

Harvey

Fade In/Fade Out Of A Movie Clip Of Buttons.
I have a movie clip that contains 6 buttons. I've put that clip on a layer and wish for the entire button wheel of buttons to fade in when it's moused over.

I put the buttons into a movie clip hoping that I could fade it in and out based on a mouse over, however when I do that with actionscript (using the movie clip name and things like onRollOver and onEnterFrame) I end up losing the functionality of the buttons.

I'm calling my movie clip that holds the buttons _buttonWheel

I'm using ActionScript 2.0 in Flash 8.

Is there a way to fade a movie clip of buttons without losing the functionality of the buttons contained inside the movie clip? I'm fairly new to advanced actionscripting. So I could use some pointers.

I can send the clip if needed.

Thanks,

Jody

Fade In And Fade Out External Jpgs With Preloader
Hi,

I’ve spent ages doing a search on this but haven’t, as yet, found exactly what I’m looking for.

I’m working on a large image gallery consisting of the usual thumb buttons. For speed, I’m keeping all the main JPGS in an external folder; these files load well, but the effect is not particularly attractive. I would like the images to fade in and out, and whilst the transition is taking place keep the viewer informed by way of a preloader (perhaps, just numbers from 1-100 in a box).

I don’t want to use XML – at least, not yet – as I want to keep things as simple as possible due to my level of AS knowledge (beginner).

This first fading effect looks perfect, but it’s continuous and doesn’t include a preloader. Could it be easily adapted? http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s....php3?t=107269

Any help would be very, very much appreciated.
