Adjust Brightness on rollover...?

[p_due18]

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to adjust the brightness property of a button using scripting rather than using a movieclip and telling the movieclip to play on rollover etc.
I've posted an example of what I mean.

nope .. as far as i know u can't control Brightness through A.S. .. however, Alpha can be controled, but not Brightness.

Oh right, how do you change the alpha gradually then??
to make it so normally the button is at 50% then when you rollover it, gradually it gets up to 100% and stops. When you rollout it gradually goes back down to 50%. ????

whoooooooooops ..
............. did i mention something about graduality .. no i didn't ..
.. the best way to achieve the kinda effect u want, is to use movie clips ... either use movie clips as buttons, or insert a movie clip in the buttons Over state ... make the alpha changes using Tween .. and it would rock !

You could do it via AS:

code:

---

on (rollOver) {

	_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

		_root.clip._alpha += 5;

		if (_root.clip._alpha == 100) {

			_root.clip._alpha = 100;

		}

	};

}

//on rollOut:

on (rollOut) {

	_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

		_root.clip._alpha -= 8;

		if (_root.clip._alpha<=50) {

			_root.clip._alpha = 50;

		}

	};

}

Change "clip" to the name of your MC.

-edit-

Now that I look at this and your problem, you could change "_root.clip" with "this". Haven't tried it. Also, try replacing the "_root.clip._alpha = 50;" with "delete this.onEnterFrame". Just a thought...
