Flash :: Fading Images With Tween

Fading Multiple Images Via Alpha And Tween
hi, im trying to fade two separate images on the same layer from 0 alpha to 100 alpha but flash MX 2k4 will not do it! It works fine if i do the same process with just one image, but not with any more on the same layer.

do i have to do a separate layer for every image i want to fade? Whats the solution to this problem? I have tried grouping them and this does not work either.

I am using the pictures as graphic symbols, and as i say if its just one image that i change the alpha on per layer it works fine (i.e 5 images on one layer, as long as i only tween the alpha on one it works fine, if i try and tween the alpha on any more, grouped or ungrouped it does not work, it just stays at 0 alpha over the tween and even into the next keyframe)

thanks guys!

Tween Fading Issues
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.display.*;

function nxtFrame ()
{
var txtTween = new Tween(infoMC, "_alpha", tweenStyle, 100, 0, 10);
txtTween.onMotionFinished = function (){

infoMC.infoMask.gotoAndStop (1);
infoMC.nextFrame ();
new Tween(infoMC, "_alpha", tweenStyle, 0, 100, 10);
infoMC.infoMask.play ();
}
}
Hiya

Basically I have a movie clip that when I click 'next', it fades out the current text, moves on a frame in infoMC and then fades back up.

When I trace, everything is working ok, up until the fadeup/mask play, and i've absolutely no idea why this is? Is there anything wrong with the above code?

3 Images… Fading Effect Between The Images
I am very new to flash and I was looking to do a basic flash movie. Here is what I am looking to do. I have 3 images and I would like to create a flash movie that displays the first image and then fades. Then the 2nd image fades in and then the 2nd image fades out. Then the 3rd image fades in and then fades out. Basically it will just display 3 different images, one at a time with a fade in and out effect. I did a Google search looking for a tutorial to help me through this but was not able to find one. Can any one point me to a tutorial that does this very basic effect (even though I say this after playing around for over 2 hours now and I have nothing working).

Is Actionscript Tween Fading Smoother Than Tweening In The Timeline?

Tween Class Alpha Fading Problem, Image Flashes
I have spent ages trying to solve this and it is driving me bananas. I can't find any solutions to this so please can someone help me.

Ok all i am trying to do is fade an external swf in and out. I am using the tween class to do this. My problem is that when my external swf loads in it flashes - its as if the alpha is flashing upto 100 then back down to 0 to start the tween. You can see what I mean on this link if you click on the photogallery button.

http://www.rachael-roberts.co.uk/tween/main.swf

Ok here is the code...

Code:
var tween_handler:Object = new Tween(loader, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 1, true);
tween_handler.onMotionFinished = function() {
//loader._alpha=0;
mcl.loadClip(loadThis, loader);
trace("onMotionFinished triggered");
};

preload.onLoadInit = function(targetMC) {
startAlpha = loader._alpha;
var tween_handlerUnhide:Object = new Tween(loader, "_alpha", Regular.easeIn, startAlpha, 100, 1, true);
};
Any ideas? It may be something to do with the loaded photogallery swf. The tabs tween out but just on the timeline that part isn't scripted.

Thanks

Tween Class Fading Loop, Acting Up With Multiple Clicks
Hello all,
I have a thumbnail gallery that I am working on. The gallery works fine and when you click the thumbnails it loads the respective swf into the container.picture movieclip.

I have used the tween class to fade a set of clips in a single swf in a loop infinitely.

The problem lies in that when you click the thumbnail, the swf loads fine and everything plays great (THE FIRST TIME) then if you repeatedly click the same thumbnail the tween class acts up and the fading gets strange, the timing messed up and it starts to almost layer the clicks on each other.

The problem seems VERY similar to when you use a setInterval and don't clear the interval and it starts to overlay them upon multiple clicks.

Is there a way to clear the tween class, delete it at run time, etc? This problem is driving me up the wall.

I have provided my code below (just for the tween class, not for the navigation) to hopefully spark an idea.

Thanks!
Neil

Attach Code

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

//array that pulls in all movieclips and turns to array
var mcArray:Array = new Array(content1, content2);
for (var k in mcArray) {
mcArray[k]._alpha = 0;
}

var n:Number = 0;

function playFades() {
if (n<mcArray.length) {

var tween_handler1:Object = new Tween(mcArray[n], "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 1, true);
tween_handler1.onMotionFinished = function() {
//trace("motion finished by "+mcArray[n]);
//n++;

var tween_handler2:Object = new Tween(mcArray[n], "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 100, 0, 3.5, true);
tween_handler2.onMotionFinished = function() {
//trace("motion finished by "+mcArray[n]);
n++;
playFades();
};
};
} else {
n = 0;
playFades();
}
}
playFades();

Fading Images Using AS?
Hi,

I'm designing myself a new portfolio site for university, and need to proucuce a transition that fades one page out and then the next page in. Is there any Actionscript I can use to do this?

Any simple examples much appreciated!

Cheers, Skratch

Fading Images Using AS?
Hi,this is probably gonna seem really simple to most of you...

I'm designing myself a new portfolio site for university, and need to proucuce a transition that fades one page out and then the next page in. Is there any Actionscript I can use to do this?

Any simple examples much appreciated!

Also, in Dreamweaver, I've previously used the 'open new browser window' behaviour from a link to display my Flash movies, and entered the .SWF filename as the URL to launch. Can I do a similar thing with Flash's 'get URL' command, or does that only go to HTML/HTM files?

Cheers, Skratch

Fading Images - Please Help
Hi, I wasn't sure which forum this should go under so please delete which ever one is in the wrong spot. Here is my dilemma:

i have 20 images..what I am trying to do is this: after 5 sec image 1 fades out so that #2 appears, then after 5 sec image 2 fades out to show #3, and so on and so on. After image 20 it would fade out to #1 and the process would start all over again. However, I can't do this and I'm thinking it's probably an easy thing to do. If anyone could give me a step by step process (because I'm new to Flash) I would be very greatful!!

Thanks

Hi all, I'm new to this whole flash thing and i have a few questions.

1. I want to use cut-outs that i extracted from images in photoshop. I plan to use them as part of my web page layout in a slide show where the pictures fades into another. you can see what i'm talking about here---> www.showtimemag.com
So, how would i go about doing this?

2. How would i be able to get the images to be transparent and show the background of the web site?

Fading 80 Images
I have an animation that will include a part where 80 head shots are flipped through quickly. It's going to be enough work just importing 80 head shots into 80 frames of the movie, but, on top of it, they are requesting that instead of flipping between them that we fade between each one. Obviously, creating 160 tweens is a bit tedious. I was wondering if there was an actionscript solution to this.

XML Images Fading
Hello,

Can anyone please explain or point me in the right direction as to how I can go about loading an XML file containing image paths into a flash movie, and have the images fade into each other and loop forever? ....I'm also looking to have the images start at a random point in the loop each time, so the same image isn't the first one that shows every time...

Thanks!

Fading In Images One After Another
hello,

i'd appreciate if someone can help me with this. i'm having difficulties fading in some images one after another. i have an array containing urls to the images, and i have to fade every next image in (when the user clicks a button), on top of the other (it needs to be a smooth fading between images, no white/black/colored space in between).

this is what i tried, everything's working good but the fading between images isn't the way it should be (the tween fading also doesn't work properly, some images don't end at alpha = 1 they just stay transparent):

code edit because i changed it as it was quite wrong.

Quote:

private function drawBgImage(currentItem:uint, arrayImagini:Array):void
{
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(arrayImagini[currentItem]);
this.loaderSprite = new Sprite();

loader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onImageClick);
loader.load(request);

this.loaderSprite.addChild(loader);
this.loaderSprite.buttonMode = true;

var myTween:Tween = new Tween(this.loaderSprite, "alpha", None.easeIn, 0, 1, 1, true);
addChildAt(this.loaderSprite, 0);
}

and then i call the function like this:

Quote:

this.loaderSprite.removeChildAt(0);
this.drawBgImage(this.currentItem, this.arrayImagini);

i hope someone can help me. thanks ^^

Hi,

I have several buttons in a project, which are suposed to make appear different images in a container. For example, in the button 1 I have the code:

ActionScript Code:
on (release){

}

Ok. But I want to make the image fade in when it shows up and fade out when unloads and is replaced. Is there an easy way of doing this?

Kind regards,

Fading In 3 Images =(
I have an idea, but I am totally unsure how to pull it off.

I have 2 images, and I want to fade them in one overtop of another in a cool way. I was kind of thinking like a flash effect and it fades in, and in a second another one does the same overtop of it. I want to do this for 2 images and I guess make it into a movie clip and loop it.

And for my second question, how do I loop a movie clip along my timeline?

Any help/fla files would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks a million

Fading Images In And Out
Hello!

I have a simple Flash animation - fading in and out different images. I have done it with an Actionscript (changing alpha value). That worked ok only on new processors - on all others it eats 100% CPU. I then tried to do it with timeline (motion tween between 2 alpha values of picture). Now it is considerably better, but on CPUs lower than 2 GHz it still eats 100% CPU. Size of animation is 940x160. How can I do this fading correctly so that CPU will not have to do so much calculations?? Please help me!

Images Fading In.
I'm trying to use AS to fade in images on when the player gets to the frame they are on. Basically like a slide show were when the playhead move to the next frame that image fades in. With a little help from a friend this is the code we got to work:
Code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
fadeIn = function(){
if(_root.lynch._alpha < 100){
_root.lynch._alpha += 7; //This sets the speed of the fade in 3 is kind of slow higher numbers will speed it up.
}else{
_root.lynch._alpha = 100;
}

}
_root.lynch.onEnterFrame = fadeIn();
}

That works fine when I preview the movie...but this movie is getting loaded into another movie and when that happens the fading doesn't work and no images show up. I figured out that the _root. line was causing the problem, but when I remove that from the code above then the fading doesn't work at all. What am I missing?

Problems With Fading Big Images
hello, i was wondering when i fade 2 or more pictures into eachother (with alpha) with actionscript if it would use less cpu capacity than just an ordinairy tween. I have the problem that some of my normal tweens really affect the performance of the whole website when tweening. I have seen other sites with even bigger and higher quality photo's that didn't slow down anything on the site. Could someone please explain me if it's possible and how to achieve that.

(the main problem is that normal mouseovers in html that are in the same document respond later due to the cpu usage when tweening. and on the other side, when going over the mouseovers in html it affects the speed of the tween in the swf)

kind regards,

M.Braun

Fading Random Images In And Out
Hello gang!
I am really having some trouble accomplishing a particular effect. I have spent 1 1/2 days trying to do this with no luck. It doesn't help that I am lousy with ActionScripting either.

What I would like to do is this:
I have 5 images that I would like to have loaded randomly. I'd also like them to fade in and out from one to the other as well.

If anyone can provide detailed instructions, I would greatly appreciate it. As I had mentioned, scripting is not my thing, so if you could please explain it in detail-assume that I know nothing-I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your time and consideration!
Kind regards,
Greg
