AS3 Alpha Tween "shimmer"
I've got a working alpha tween in a 31 fps movie clip that fades from 0 to 1.0 over 2 seconds, black background. The images that fade in seem to "shimmer" as if the alpha blend were computed with a low-quality (high speed?) algorithm. Is this normal, and is there a way to smooth out the tween?
Thanks,
Hunter

Seperating Motion Tween From Alpha Tween
I am trying to fade in the alpha on a graphic symbol rather quickly at the same time the symbol scrolls very slowly up the stage, but the two seem linked, so that a very slow scroll means a very slow opacity gain. How can I fade the photo in quickly while the photo motion tweens slowly?

Alpha Tween
I am having a problem with a tween using alpha settings. I created a text graphic, placed it in a MC, extended it to 150 frames and created a motion tween, setting alpha to 0 in the first frame and 100 on the last. I also set a "go to and play 1" so that it would loop on the last frame.
I inserted this movie clip in the main timeline which only has one frame. when I test it the alpha transition does not happen, I see the full text. I have been going over books and the web trying to figure this out to no avail. Please if anyone can help I would appreciate it. I know its some kind of setting but I cant figure it out.
thanks

However, I can't the alpha tween for var closeWorkAlpha to work.

AS Alpha Tween
I have an array (workArray), when one of the MCs in the array is hovered over, i want it to change from 50% transparency to 80%, then when one is clicked it should change from 80% to 100%. If another is clicked then the one first selected should go back to 50% and the new one selected should go from 80% to 100%
This is my first attempt with arrays, So here is what I have so far
ActionScript Code:
workArray = [t1, t2, t3, t4, t5, t6, t7, t8];this.onEnterFrame = function() { workArray._alpha = 50; }this.workArray.onRollOver = function() { workArray.alphaTo(80);}this.workArray.onRelease = function() { workArray.alphaTo(100);}
None of the above actually seems to be working... Am I using the wrong alpha syntax?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Alpha Tween Help.
Good day all. I'm after some code for an alpha tween that I can attach to a MC it starts at 100% then fades to 0% stays at 0% for a bit (5 seconds) then fades back to 100%. It will go onto a about 30 small squares 10x10 that cover an image. I don't need the squares to be placed with action script as they are all in the places they need to be.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks "satrop"

A Shimmer And Loading..
Hey there guys..
I have been having trouble doing a shimmer effect one a piece of text. I have tried to accomplish it several times but i get a completely different effect.. and im always like..
"what the.. ???"
lol..
And problem number 2 is..
a loading bar of some sort. It doesnt neccessarily have to be a complex loading bar. Even if it just says "loading..please wait" that would be fine. But if its possible to have a small "bar" with the "%" with it thats still not too complex.. that would be even better.
So if anyone could help me out.. that would be much appreciative..
Im using flash 5 by the way..

FADE - TWEEN TO ALPHA 0
I was following the the:
tutorial "Dissolving Words"
by "Derek Boge"
at "http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Text_Effects/Dissolvi-Derek_Bo-647/more4.shtml"
which suggests "change the Alpha to 0%".
It seems to work for him but when I go to the mixer and try this one of two things happens:
1) I make the stroke alpha 0, from black and go to the fill alpha to make it 0 and then check the stroke alpha to find it back at 100
2) I can make both alphas 0 (by accident!) but then rgb values go to 1 and will only go back to 1 if I make them all 0.
All that is needed is to fade, from black to nothing, from the first frame of the tween to the last.
It shouldnt be hard, so Im surely missing something basic!
Can someone help out please?!

Fade In Without Using Alpha & Tween...
I have some images and buttons I need to have fade in from 0 - 100 and I know there is some code to place on the frame in the timeline to cause this to happen.
I don't want to use the tween option as that adds a lot of memory the more times you use it per movie.
Does anyone have the code that I place in to make something fade in from 0 - 100
and then I need a separate one to make it fade back out from 100 - 0 later in the timeframe?
thanks for the help!!!!!!

Optimize Alpha Tween?
Yo,
See attached swf:

I'm creating a intro page for a site that contains 5 transparent gifs that I've optimized the crap out of. They tween for motion and alpha. It runs fine on my box(1.6ghz; 1gig ram) but very slow on my wife's machine(400mhz) What's best practice for creating this effect and keeping it smooth across *most* processors? Tween(aplha/motion) or seperate MC's for each image or WHAT??????

Actionscripted Alpha Tween?
I have a button and a movie clip. The movie clip has a blue box in it. When I roll over the button I want the blue box in the MC's alpha to fade from 85% to 10% and when I roll out I want it to fade from 10% to 85%. How would I go about doing this with actionscript so it looks like a alpha tween? because when I do it with tweens if you roll over and out of the button fast the MC gets stuck on the wrong alpha.

Best Alpha Tween Using Actionscript?
I am working on a slide show project that will load external jpegs into movie clips and have them fade in and out of each other.
Unfortunatly the tweening is still really "chunky".
Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
if (fade<100) {
fade += 10;
_root.pic1._alpha = fade;
_root.pic2._alpha = 100-fade;
}
thanks in advanced!

Motion Tween With Alpha.
I'm trying to figure out a way to move a clip across the screen while it's fading in and then out. The goal here is to have the text fade in, sustain for about a second and then fade back out all while moving across the screen. Oh yeah, all with an ease out. This last part is what's giving me grief. I can get it to move while fading using four Key frames but when I put the easing in the tweens it make the text jerk everytime it hits a key frame. Thanks for you help!

Controlling The Tween And Alpha
Please look at the fla.
*I want the mc_1 (the big one) on layer 1 to be visible first and the rest of the mc (mc_a, mc_b, mc_c) to be invisible. Then when i rollOver one of the 3 mc (red ones) with the mouse they will show up. And then when i decide to click one of the red mc it will tween up and the big mc (mc_1) will go alpha=0. And then when i click again on the red mc that was tween up it will tween back and the mc_1 will go to alpha=100.
Please look at the fla.

Having A Problem With Alpha Tween.
Hello everyone,
I am just having an issue with an alpha tween not working correctly. I am calling a swf into another Flash document and am trying to get the swf that I am calling in to go from an alpha of 0% to 100% (I'm using the tween class to do this). It works fine when I test it locally but when I put it up on to the server it doesn't work totally. If I let it run once and then reload the page after it has cashed the page it works fine. If anyone has any ideas that would be wonderful. Thanks to all!

Alpha Tween Rollover
i need a graphic symbol on the stage to fade in from 0% alpha to 100% alpha AS WELL AS have another graphic symbol fade from 100% alpha to 20% alpha at the same time when a specific button is rolled over. i need the exact opposite to occur on rollOut.
I know how to just make things snap to a different alpha state (this code is IN the button):
on(Rollover){
picture._alpha=100;
otherPicture._=20;
}
but i need them to FADE for 10 frames from one state of opasity to another.
get me?
i got this to work by using the timeline with all sorts of "gotoAndPlays" but if you rollOver and rollOut before the object is done fading, the object "freezes". so, i think that this needs to be done in actionscript for it to really work.
and being that i'm getting $2k for this site, I NEED SOME ANSWERS!!! PLEASE!!!
