Fading Text In Letter By Letter With Actionscript?
Hi people!

Does anybody know if it is possible to animate text via actionscript.

For example, I would like to do that good old favourite of having text fade in letter by letter.

However, breaking apart every letter and indivdually fading them in one after the other not only takes a hell of a long time, but also (with large pieces of text) would cause huge file sizes.

I thought of masking, but I can't seem to get a soft edge on the mask to enable me to make it look like it is fading in.

Sooo.....

Does anybody know how to do this via actionscript,

OR...

Does anybody know how to get the soft edge on a mask to be able to create a similar effect.

Hope you can help

Cheers

Fading And Reverse Fading Text
I'm so new to this it's sick. But I figure I can take a few days and learn as much as I can. I'm building a website wherein I'll have a splash page before entering the main contents of the site.

I'm using Flash 5. On the splash page I want to know how to create a text object that appears in a 'reverse fade' fashion. I imagine a 'reverse fade' function can be done with any object or graphic - I've seen it on these awesome websites listed at FK.

I don't know if I'm evening asking this question right. I'm able to use CoffeeCup Firestarter and make things appear and fade easily (duh - who couldn't with that program) but can't view the code the Firestarter program produces in order to learn how it happened.

Appreciate any help someone could give me.

Thanks,
Jeff

Actionscript For Fading In And Out
Please could one of you pros out there help me out with the actionscript code which allows you to on press of a button fade in then on release it fades back out.......

T.T.F.N............

ActionScript Fading
Is there a smoother way (w/actionscript) to fade in buttons or MC's on mouseover. Right now I'm just using tweening and goto comands but there has to be a better way. Below is the standard code I have been using.

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay(21);
}

frame 2 is where the fade in tween begins
frame 21 is where the fade out tween begins
(of coarse w/stops at frames 1, 20, and the end of the MC.

Thanks.

Fading Out Using Actionscript
I was wondering if something was possible using actionscript coding.

Lets say I have a flash movie playing... and I have a button at the bottom of the page that if clicked, I want it to start fading out the playing movie, no matter where the movie is in it's timeline.

Can I make a button do that? On release if just fades out the entire swf?

If so please lemme know what the coding would be for this, because I've tried to think it through and i'm getting no where...

thanks for any help

Fading With Actionscript
Hello.

This, i suspect, is hilariously simple so I'd be very grateful if someone wants to make me look, well, amateurish. . Anyhow, I'm using the following actionscript to fade in an image:

Code:
brown_mc._alpha = 0
function fadeImagein(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
target_mc._alpha += 4;
trace("fading");
if (target_mc._alpha >= 80) {
target_mc._alpha = 80;
clearInterval(alpha_interval);
}
};

this.tree_mc.ill_mc.ill_btn.onRelease = function() {
var alpha_interval:Number = setInterval(fadeImagein, 50, brown_mc);
};
and while it fades in appropriately, the trace tells me that the function is continously called even when the condition of the if statement is met. This is a fantastic forum and I'm very very grateful for all the help I've already recieved.

Actionscript Fading Question
hi guys, im a newbie to actionscript and i need a little help here.

to start, I created a movie clip. with 2 layers. and those 2 layers have a picture each on it.

on the 1st layer, I have the picture at 0 alpha and in the next 30 frames, it becomes 100alpha, after 30frames again it goes back to 0 alpha. so basically, it fades in and fades out. same goes with the image on the 2nd layer.

Since I have no idea of AC, i had to do this with motion tweening, which sucks coz it slows all other effects down in my flash project.

whats the code, for me to fade in and fade out the pictures?
i tried the actionscript.org set property tutorial, but it basically did nothing hehe. or i just didnt get it.

Actionscript For Fading Buttons?
Hi, I'm using actionscript to try to fade my buttons in and out when the mouse moves over them. I'm using the code on this thread, and it works fine, except it fades the whole stage, not just the button. I assigned a instance name to my button and used that in my code but it doesn't appear to work. What do you think I could do to fix my problem?

Alpha Fading With Actionscript
Hi,
I am trying to do alpha fading with actionscript. I have looked in the forum and another fla file where it was done but when I try it with my fla it does not work. I am making a slideshow component and everything is within the component. I have thumbnails as buttons from duplicateMovieClip. I am using something like this but doesn't work:

PHP Code:

MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(){
    mc1.loadMovie("myPic.jpg");
    if (mc1.getBytesLoaded==mc1.getBytesTotal && mc1._alpha<100){
    mc1_alpha +=10;
}

Any help appreciated.

'FADING IN' Sound Using Actionscript
I have all this code on first frame of my movie. The Sound loads fine at defined volume, BUT will not fade in. I'd truly appreciate any kind of feedback.
Thanks.

Fading In A Button Using Actionscript...
I'm just attempting something here that to me was a pretty cool idea. However I need to use actionscript I believe to get the right animation...

Let me explain...

I placed the Letters "T, E, S, T" on my stage. I made each a seperate button... and I want them to be completely faded out.

When the visitor of the page uses the mouse and rolls over the page, I want shapes and letters and words to gradually fade in that I have hidden at zero alpha.

If the visitor rolls off these hidden buttons, I want them to stop fading in

Once all the letters... T, E, S, T are 100% faded in... I want the timeline to jump to another location.... and thus you can now unter the website.

So this is what I need

Actionscript coding, that on a rollover, individual buttons fade in gradually. Once ALL of the hidden buttons on the page are found, it acts as a "key" to enter the site. But the buttons NEED to be at 100% in order for the rest of the website to "unlock" so to speak

I hope someone understands my ramblings... Because I know what I want to do, and I'm 100% sure it's possible... but I don't even understand what I'm asking at the moment

Thanks a lot if you can help

Fading A Sound Using Actionscript
Hi,
I want to fade a sound with actionscript when I press the spacebar.

I've got a movie clip named fade_mc the sound plays fine but no fade.

I have attached the following code to fade_mc:

onClipEvent (load) {
IACSound = new Sound(fade_mc);
IACSound.attachSound("IAC_160.mp3");
IACSound.start(0, 99);
IACSoundVolume=100;
IACSound.setVolume(IACSoundVolume);
}
on (release, keyPress "<Space>") {
IACSoundVolume=IACSoundVolume-5;
if (IACSoundVolume<5) {
fade_mc.IACSound.stop("IAC_160.mp3");
}
//loads a black screen which fades up
loadMovieNum("fader.swf", 4);
}

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, I need to complete this project and it is the only thing left.

Thanks,
James

Fading Background Through Actionscript
Hi all,

It's a while ago since i've been posting but i bumped on a problem while working in flash. Here's the deal: I have a background image which is kind of red. However, i want the users to be able to change the background color through this code:

myColor = new Color(myMovie);
myColorTransform = new Object();
myColorTransform = { ra: t1, rb: t2, ga: t3, gb: t4, ba: t5, bb: t6, aa: t7, ab: t8};
myColor.setTransform(myColorTransform);

Now this works perfectly. When I click a button, the color tint (through 'Advanced') works perfectly. The only problem now is that i want to fade it over. I know this can be done by actionscript, but i havent succeeded yet.

This is what i tried:

on (release) {
t1 = 62;
t2 = 58;
t3 = 62;
t4 = 0;
t5 = 62;
t6 = 0;
t7 = 100;
t8 = 0;

for (i=1; i<100; i++) {
trace(i + "ste loop");
l1 = (t1/100)*i;
l2 = (t2/100)*i;
l3 = (t3/100)*i;
l4 = (t4/100)*i;
l5 = (t5/100)*i;
l6 = (t6/100)*i;
l7 = (t7/100)*i;
l8 = (t8/100)*i;
}
}

where t1, t2, t3 are the vars of the target colors and l1, l2, l3 are the current values of the movieclip. Now of course, if I put the setTransform code into the for loop, users won't see a transition, the loop would just be executed and the color would change. Is there a way to delay every single transition? I checked the setInterval, but didn't get it to work. I had a function on the frame with the setTransform code, and the setInterval inside the loop.

Any ideas? Would be greatly appreciated!

Alpha Fading With Actionscript
Hi,

i have a fairly complicated (for me) loop going on in "bgholder_mc", its a carrousell type merry-go-round thing. My goal is to fade the whole clip to alpha on release of one of the items - but seeing as how its happening in a scriptcreated MovieClip, I cant keyframe the alpha.

Anyone know how to alpha this?

Better formulation of the question might be :

How do I alpha something using script?

on(release){
_root.bholder_mc.alpha=0;
}

or something?

Again, the goal is for it to gradually fade...

Fading Alpha Using Actionscript
Hi all,

i have a movie called 'link' and inside it there is a button mask on top of another movie which has a text box inside it.

button mask
movie called 'dyn_text'
(text box inside this movie called 'text')

i am trying to add some on () actions (e.g. on (rollOver) or on (rollOut)) so that the movie containing the text box fades in or out using alpha.

the default alpha for the movie called 'dyn_text' is 50% and i want it to fade up to 100% on a rollover event and back to 50% on a rollout event.

i have been looking at the code in flash 8 and i can see that using a 'setInterval' may work but i can't get it working properly.

can anyone give me any ideas about how to go about this or point me in the direction of a tutorial?

cheers

Fading Sound With Actionscript
I am trying to fade sound with script when a movie clip gets to a certain x value on the stage. Here is the what I have. It probably has problems, as I am an actionscript newbie:

Script on frame 1:

MySound = new Sound();
MySound.attachSound("wind01.mp3");
MySound.start(0,1000);
music.setVolume(100);
vol = 100;
fade = 5;

Script on movie clip:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._x >= 90) {
vol = vol-fade;
} else if (vol<0) {
vol = 0;
}
}

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Fading MovieClip With Actionscript
Hi all!
I have the script below that fades my movieClip

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._alpha>=1) {
this._alpha--;
}
}

How can I make it fade faster? - its quite slow to fade out and I need it to be 4 times faster without ramping up fps.

Thanks to all!

Menu Fading Using Actionscript
The first paragraph is the long-winded explination of what I need done and exactly what's going on, the second is an "in a nutshell" of what I need. I did a search for this and found bits and pieces that may have worked but couldn't for the life of me figgure out how to apply it to what I need.

I could not figgure out a better name for this, but basically I've got a (I think) complicated task that I need to, well, do. I'm making a website for my school, and have the main navigation menu setup in a rotating circle that stops rotating on rollOver of a button (thanks to a great tutorial on this site ). That's all fine and dandy, I've got that, but now comes my tricky part. I have a basic menu made that, when onRelease of one of the buttons, fades in ontop of the rotating menu (and if possible have the rotating menu kinda greyed out behind it, but I'll take what I can get, and I can probably figgure that out). When this menu fades in, it needs to dynamically load information (which I again know how to do) but the information it needs to load all needs to come from different files depending on what button is clicked. I've got a vauge idea of what it needs to do, but no idea how it does it. This loaded text becomes the backbone for a dynamic menu which, again, I can do. I digress, the second part is that when the user either clicks outside the menu or on a button (a matter of onRelease on a button or movieClip, no biggie changing for me) I need to menu to unload the dynamic content that it ahd loaded and fade away, so the user can't see it. All in actionscript. Rinse and repeate.

Okay, now in a nutshell.
I need actionscript that will allow the user to press a button and have a menu do an alpha fade in. When the button is pressed, it will also load an (I assume) XML file that can be used in the generation of dynamic objects (menus, images, ect...; i know how to do the images). When the user either clicks outside the "appeared menu" or on an exit button on the menu, the "appeared menu" will fade out and unload the XML file in preperation for a different button to be pressed and have new content loaded. Again this all needs to be in actionscript

Thanks in advance

Alpha Fading With Actionscript
I've been trying to put together a function that I can reference through various symbols in a movie to fade their alpha properties. So far all I've found is code that forces me to reference the specific symbol in the function, however I have to do this to a BUNCH of symbols over different periods within my timeline, part of which will be triggered by a loaded movie.

Does anyone have a function that will fade up or down that can sit on the _root. and be referenced by any symbol whenever needed?

If this doesn't make sense, please let me know, I will clarify!

Thanks in advance;

Fading Sound Via Actionscript
Is it possible to fade sound using actionscript? I am currently using the actionscript:

Quote:

//Play Internal Sound Behavior
if(_global.Behaviors == null)_global.Behaviors = {};
if(_global.Behaviors.Sound == null)_global.Behaviors.Sound = {};
if(typeof this.createEmptyMovieClip == 'undefined'){
this._parent.createEmptyMovieClip('BS_distant',new Date().getTime()-(Math.floor((new Date().getTime()) /10000)*10000) );
_global.Behaviors.Sound.distant = new Sound(this._parent.BS_distant);
} else {
this.createEmptyMovieClip('_distant_',new Date().getTime()-(Math.floor((new Date().getTime()) /10000)*10000) );
_global.Behaviors.Sound.distant = new Sound(this.BS_distant);
}
_global.Behaviors.Sound.distant.attachSound("dista nt");
if (true) {
_global.Behaviors.Sound.distant.start(0,2);
}
//End Behavior

You can see here that I have it looping twice but want to fade it out in the end. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Did a search but nothing helpfull came out.

Thank you very much.

_alpha Fading Using Actionscript Help?
Hello,

I have eight images in a MC that I would like to sequentially fade in, display for a few seconds and fade out using _alpha function. So far I can fade one in with this AS:

img1._alpha=0

img1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha +=10;
}

Assuming my instances are img1, img2, img3, etc, etc... how would I go about sequentially fading each instance from 0 to 100, letting it display on the stage for a few seconds and then fade out (like a slideshow)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Fading Images Using Actionscript
Hullo,

I'm brand new to Flash.... I've found bits and pieces of my answer but they assume I know more than I do.

Can some tell me in real laymans terms how to have say... 5 images fading from one to another, looping using action script. I found a tut which does it using tweening, that's simple enough but apparently action script will reduce the file size and make it smoother.

I'm using mx 2004.

Thanks in advance...

Fading Alpha In/out With Actionscript
Hi there,

I am trying to fade in alpha on, say frame one, and then when alpha hits 100% send to say, frame two. I am working with the code below hashed from various tutorials however when alpha reaches 100 it then goes into 'strobe mode' and flashes on/off forever. I have tried everything to get it to react when it hits 100, but no luck- can anyone help?

function fadeIn(target, destination) {
//trace (this._alpha);
rate = 5;
target.onEnterFrame=function() {
rate = rate*.95;
if (this._alpha == destination) {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
this._alpha += Math.round((destination+this._alpha)/rate);
}
}

then on the frame in question:

onEnterFrame = function () {
fadeIn(_root.text1, 100);
}

I am hoping to be able to get text/images to fade in/out according to frames. This is for web banners so traditional tweens just take up too much space,

Any help would be much appreciated,

Mixing/fading Loops With ActionScript
Hi...
I'm having a problem transitioning two loops smoothly.

Here is the scenario:
The piece I'm working on is a presentation and runs from start to finish with no interactivity. I have imported two separate .wav files that are short drum beats of no more than 30 frames each. For the first minute I have the first loop going and then I want the pace to change and have the new loop fade in while the old loop fades out.

The problem is that when you assign the "Fade Out" property to the loop it fades out the tail end of the drum beat for every time it plays. I want it to fade out only after the 10th loop.

All the actionscript I've seen to fade out/fade in are button related... on(release) etc... Is there a simple script that will do this regardless of interactivity that just tells Flash how long to play the loop and when to fade it out?

Appreciate it if anyone has some advice.

Thanks.

Rephrased....Fading In A Button Using Actionscript
Lemme try to explain this again...

OK

I have a Black Box on the stage which I have converted into a button.

I want the alpha set at zero...

When the mouse hovers over the invisible box... it will begin to gradually fade in. If the mouse rolls off the box, and lets say the alpha is at 53%... i want it to stay at 53% until the mouse hovers back over the box...

When the box hits 100% alpha... I want the page to then follow what I have set in the timeline.

So i need some sort of actionscript coding that will allow me to do this

Maybe this makes some more sense than my previous post

Thanks for any help

Actionscript Trigger Fading Transitions
Hi,

My actionscript isn't very good, but if someone here can offer some pointers, I'd be most grateful.

I have a flash website with 5 navigation links. When a navigation link is clicked, the main page image on the page will fade out and a new image will load in its place (each page has a different image).

How would I go about scripting this? How can I load images into a specific place on a page and get them to fade over the one that is already there? Is this something that is possible with actionscript?

If anyone could offer an explanation or example, I'm sure I'll be able to get a good impression of how it's done.

Thanks very much...

[MX04] Fading MC And Buttons Through Actionscript
Hello there,

I have a couple of questions on how to fade buttons through actionscript.

The first one is with a MC.

I have a set of 12 small images. They are all on an alpha of 60 when movie is loaded. I want each on to fade in to 100% alpha when a mouse hovers over that one.

This is what I have, and it doesn't work

Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function (){
moby._alpha = 60;
nikita._alpha = 60;

function (fadeIn) {

};

moby.onRollOver = function(){
moby.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
};
moby.onRollOut = function(){
moby.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
};

Also I want to fade the color of a text from lets say an orange to a white. I want it to fade smoothly, and preferably through actionscripting. How would I do so?

Thank you,

Actionscript+XML Picture Fading Slideshow Help
I would like to create a xml based slideshow where only two movieclips exist, an array of the total number of pictures is obtained from an xml file, and each picture alpha fades to the next. I have seen this done a few times and looked over the code so I know the general idea but need help, so I will describe in in pseudocode. I have made it here(www.jerble.com/Other/home.swf) in flash, but would now like to integrate xml and do it in actionscript.

Code:

Code:
rootNode = new XML();
rootNode.ignoreWhite = true;
rootNode.load("pictures.xml");

rootNode.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
var ef = rootNode.firstChild.childNodes;
_global.ef=ef;

}
}

//PSEUDOCODE BEGINS
variable one=new movieclip;
variable two=new movieclip;

for(i=0;i<ef.length();i++)
{

one=box.load()=ef[i].firstChild.nodeValue; (where the value is the url of the image)

for(j=0;j<100();j++)
{

if (j==50) then: two=text=ef[i+1].firstChild.nodeValue; (so that only one image will be loaded initially to minimize load time)
if (j==80) then: one=one.alpha[(100-j)*5] (thus the original alpha is 100, and it decreases by values of 5 for each "j")

}

}

Thanks for any help, and please keep in mind that I am not familiar with the syntax for the part I wrote in the pseudocode section, so any corrections are appreciated. Note: this would crash after it reaches the end because at i=last and j=80, i +1 would not exist, but I did not deal with the error for simplicity.
