[awilderbeast]

hi ive been trying to duplicate your code for some text with static backgrounds

so there is a bakground colour and the text fades on top of it

i thought i changed all the names right but i must of missed of left something out

heres the code, it prioduces no errors, just doesnt work

import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var text1Tween:Tween = new Tween (text_mc.text1_mc, "alpha", None.easeInOut, 0 , 1 , 2 , true );
text1Tween.stop();
text1Tween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,fadeOutText);
var text2Tween:Tween = new Tween (text_mc.text2_mc, "alpha", None.easeInOut, 0 , 1 , 2 , true );
text2Tween.stop();
var text3Tween:Tween = new Tween (text_mc.text3_mc, "alpha", None.easeInOut, 0 , 1 , 2 , true);
text3Tween.stop();

text_mc.text1_mc.nextTween = text2Tween;
text_mc.text2_mc.nextTween = text3Tween;
text_mc.text3_mc.nextTween = text1Tween;

text1Tween.start();

function fadeOutText(event:TweenEvent) {
event.target.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, fadeOutText);
event.target.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, startNextText);
event.target.begin = 1;
event.target.finish = 0;
event.target.start();
}
function startNextText(event:TweenEvent) {
event.target.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, startNextText);
event.target.obj.nextTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, fadeOutText);
event.target.obj.nextTween.begin = 0;
event.target.obj.nextTween.finish = 1;
event.target.obj.nextTween.start();
}

and the fla so you can see what ive done easier

thanks for any help

Tweening text is always a pain in the ***. Most of the time you have to embed your fonts. I would try that first.

that worked

now i have a problem with my backgrounds

what i was doing was

background 1 in the text1mc does not fade
then text1 fades in and out
then i want background 2 to appaer
then text2 fades and so on if you get me

if you see my fla you will be able to tell what i mean

thanks for your help ,really appreciate it
