How Fade The Background Sound?

Making A Background Music Track Fade Out To Another Sound When An Object Is Clicked
Hello everyone,
Im fairly new to flash and have been creating a website over the past few days with it. I was trying to get and effect where there is a background music track playing and when an object is clicked on this background track fades out to another audio file and then when this file is finished it fades back into the original background track. Any ideas on how to do this? Your help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,

Sound Fade In/fade Out - Fine, But Not First Time
I followed Kenny Bellows tutorial on fade in/fade out: http://www.kennybellew.com/
Everything seems to work fine, except it won't fade out the first time i click. After the first time, it fades fine.
Anyone had this problem?

Code:
this.onEnterFrame = function () {

//fade out and in
if (daveFadeOut == 1){
daveSoundVolume = daveSoundVolume - 1;
daveSound.setVolume(daveSoundVolume);
}

if (daveSoundVolume < 1){
daveSoundVolume = 0;
daveFadeOut=0;
}
if (daveFadeIn == 1){
daveSoundVolume = daveSoundVolume + 1;
daveSound.setVolume(daveSoundVolume);
}
if (daveSoundVolume > 29){
daveSoundVolume = 30;
daveFadeIn=0;
}
//finish fade out and in
}
Cheers,
Dave

Fade In And Fade Out Sound Without A Button
I need to do something that has to be easy stupid, but I can't find a thread or tutorial on it with my specific needs.

I want to fade in a sound, then later on fade it out on a specific frame WITHOUT using buttons. It needs to happen automatically on the timeline. I have added sound to buttons with actionscript many times before, but there is no button in this case, when the playhead passes frame 10 I need the sound to start fading in and then loop (at volume=100) until the playhead reaches frame 580 where I need for the sound to start fading its volume back to zero.

Can anyone help me. I even spent HOURS in Barnes and Noble reading the flash mx bible and Moock's book with nothing that attached what I need to a frame event rather than a button press or release event...

Thank you in advance to whomever can help... I know this should have been easy for me to get, but I just don't get it.....

MULTIPLE SOUND (fade-in/fade-out)
Hi guys,

I have this problem. I would like to have background track playing on a flash-site. And when you click to load in en external page I would like another track to fade-in to "join" or "add" to the previously existing track with, lets say a little guitar flicks. And of course, fade-out when you change page...

How would I go about to do this?? Anyone??

Fade To Background On PNG
Hi,

I've copy and pasted an image from Fireworks into Flash. What I'd like to do within Flash now is apply somekind of linear 'falloff' on the fireworks image.

What I've got is basically a thick line, made in fireworks, and C&P'd this into my flash scene. The flash movie will appear on a textured background, so my flash movie will have it's WMODE parameter set to Transparent. Therefore how do I get my 'thick line' and fade this to also blend in with the backgroud of my webpage?

I've tried masking a linear gradient, but to be honest, I'm not sure I'm doing this right.

Any ideas?

TIA

Background Fade In/out
Hi folks, could somebody point me in the direction of a tutorial for a common background transition. Basically When you click on a button the current background fades out while the new one fades in.

I know this is quite a common feature on alot of websites but I have spent hours searching for a tutorial and its turned up null.

Alternatively if somebody could post the actionscript that would be great also.

Thanks!

Background Fade Using Actionscript
Hello there,

I have a quick question about fading a bg color using actionscript. I am creating a splash page at 800x600 in flash, which is being opened into a new window that fills the browser of the users screen. I already have the actionscript to open into a full browser window.

However, when the user clicks on a button in the 800x600 splash, the bg color in the full browser window will need to change from blue to white. What would be the best way to do this, is there a piece of actionscript that can be attached to a button to do this? Or does a large flash document size need to be created with the 800x600 centered in the middle?

If someone can please help, I'd reallly appreciate it...

Fade Website Background
Hey all,

I have a flash website where I would like the entire browser window to fade to black when viewing various thumbnails. It seems that Flash's background color setting will bleed through the entire browser, but when I try to add a graphic to create the background fade it only goes so far as the flash stage.

The stage size is 780 pixels wide - do I need to create some sort of dynamic stage that scales to whatever the web browser size is? Otherwise, if the web browser goes bigger then 780 pixels the stage boundary is obvious.

In other words, am I able to control the padding between the stage and web browser if bigger than 780 pixels?

Thanks for any help!

[CS3] Fade In Text Over Colored Background?
Hi,

This is probably a pretty simple thing to do but I've not been able to find anything in my googling that tells me how. I need several words to slowly fade in, one at a time until there are like 5 of them on the banner. The fontcolor has to be white. The background is a purple that fades from dark on the left to a lighter shade on the right. I was able to fade in black text over a white background by tweening the brightness from 100 to 0. But it doesn't work with this graduated colored background since the words are visible.

Could any one tell me how I could do this? I've never used Flash before so if you could dumb it down with keypresses I'd be grateful.

Change/Fade Background Image
I have 5 different buttons that I would each to change the background image, fading in the new one. Each button takes the user to a different 'section' of the website, and each 'section' has a different background picture. How can I make the picture change, fading in new one?
I just can't figure out the logic behind it - what would be the most efficient/easiest way to do this?

Alpha Fade Background On A Navbar
Hello,
I have a navbar with a bunch of btn_mcs on top of it. I would like the navbar alpha to fade in when the total navbar is moused over. That alone is simple enough, the problem is when you mouse over the btn_mcs the focus shifts to the buttons and the alpha plays its' ROLL_OUT function (which is also needed for when you leave the nav area).

I'd like it to ONLY roll out when the mouse leaves the nav area, and not when the mouse goes onto another object.

Here's my code:
Code:

package {

   import flash.display.*;
   import flash.net.*;
   import flash.events.*;
   import flash.text.*;
   import fl.transitions.Tween;
   import fl.transitions.easing.*;
   import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;


   public class Sfgdc extends MovieClip {

      public var sfStat:Boolean = false;


      // create a new LocalConnection instance used to send
      // calls to a LocalConnection instance in another movie
      var outgoing_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();

      public function Sfgdc() {



         visitors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOver);
         visitors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOff);
         visitors.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkVisitors);
         visitors.buttonMode = true;

         online.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOver);
         online.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOff);
         online.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkOnline);
         online.buttonMode = true;

         help.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOver);
         help.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOff);
         help.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkHelp);
         help.buttonMode = true;

         textv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOver);
         textv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOff);
         textv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadError);
         textv.buttonMode = true;

      }

      function myTrace(event:MouseEvent):void {
         trace("Home --> Click");
      }
      function myOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
         var myTween:Tween = new Tween(bg.cover_mc, "alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 1, .15, true);
      }
      function myOff(event:MouseEvent):void {
         var myTween:Tween = new Tween(bg.cover_mc, "alpha", Strong.easeIn, 1, 0, .15, true);
      }
      
      function linkVisitors(event:MouseEvent):void {
         trace("Home --> linkVisitors");
         outgoing_lc.send("Channel", "linkVisitors");
      }
      function linkOnline(event:MouseEvent):void {
         trace("Home --> linkOnline");
         outgoing_lc.send("Channel", "linkOnline");
      }
      function linkHelp(event:MouseEvent):void {
         trace("Home --> linkHelp");
         outgoing_lc.send("Channel", "linkHelp");
      }
      function linkTextv(event:MouseEvent):void {
         trace("Home --> linkText");
         outgoing_lc.send("Channel", "linkText");
      }
      function loadError(event:MouseEvent):void {
         trace("Home --> Error");
         outgoing_lc.send("Channel", "myError");
      }
   }
}


example swf:
http://sfdnb.com/Mitch.swf

this example has the roll listeners on the actuall buttons so when you go over them, they fade in the BG and when you roll off them they fade out the background. If you go from left to right it flickers.

Document Background Fade (pixelwit.com Tutorial Help)
http://www.pixelwit.com/temp/colorfa...rial/home.html

I have my site set to fade between colors for multiple objects utilizing the scripting provided by the above site. Everything works perfectly, but I've run into a challenge. I am trying to get the document background (HTML, not Flash) to change colors evenly with a particular object in the Flash movie. I am trying to call a javascript function using GETURL each time the colorchange function changes the object's color, so that the fade is equal within the flash movie and on the document background.

I have modified the "transshift" function in the pixelwit code to do this, below is my code. The color change happens, but not gradually like the object's color does. The object fades colors, and at the end of the fade the document bg jolts to the new color. Any ideas?

Color.prototype.transShift = function(){
//trace("Running");
var ratio = (getTimer()-this.v.startTime)/this.v.milSecs;
if(ratio<1){
var newTrans = {};
for(var i in this.v.change){
newTrans[i] = this.v.startTrans[i]+ratio*this.v.change[i];
}
this.setTransform(newTrans);
color1=new Color(_root.rightfade);
taco=color1.getRGB().tostring(16);
trace("taco RGB="+taco);
_root.GetURL("javascript:changeBG("#" + taco + "")");



}else{
this.setTransform(this.v.goalTrans);
clearInterval(this.v.intrvl);
var myFunc = this.v.func;
delete(this.v);
if(myFunc)myFunc();
}
}

Menu To Fade In/Out New Background Images And Text
I'm trying to create a navigation menu to fade background images in and out based upon what the user clicks.

So, for example, I have:

Contact
About
Portfolio

The stage when the user clicks contact has one background, and then when they click about, I want that background to fade out while the background fades in. My problem is, you don't know which order the ppt will choose to navigate the site so you can't hardcode the background that needs to fade out.

Can anyone point me to some code for this? Or a tutorial which may be helpful?

Thanks in advance.

Sound Won't Fade Out....please Help
I have an MC that contains the music. I pasted the following code to it

// fade out loop
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(startFadeOut){
if(containsMusic.getVolume() >= 0) {
containsMusic.setVolume(containsMusic.getVolume() - 5);
} else {
startFadeOut = false; //stop loop
}
}
}

Does this code go on a different MC just for the fadeout, or it's fine on the "containsMusic" MC?

I have the on/off buttons on another MC and to the "off" button I added the following code

on (release) {
_root.startFadeOut = true;
gotoAndPlay("soundOff");//this is where the "backON" btn is
}

does anybody see why this may not be working?

thanks in advance

Fade Down A Sound
Using Flash MX:

My main.swf file contains a BG music track, and I'm loading popups containing audio material into level 1. I want the BG ambience to fade down whenever a movie is loaded into level 1, and fade back up whenever level 1 is empty.

Ideally I want to control this from my main.swf (because I don't want to have to go back and edit the 50+ swfs that load into level 1)

Any ideas?

Fade In Sound > Fade Out Sound > Go To
Two parts...
Firstly, can someone clarify exactly how to fade in a sound? Bit dumb but that's exactly what I am in Flash. The only code I have so far is...

firstSound = new Sound();
firstSound.attachSound("Airport.mp3");

Secondly, is it possible to fade out sound on releasing a button, then, when the sound has completely faded out, go to where you've linked? I've seen this done in a Shockwave presentation but not just using Flash.

Thx
