[RESOLVED] AS3 Alpha coding help!

[neo1487]

I have 12 bars and every time it plays frame 1 I want the bar to get darker. Am I doing it correctly?

for (var ii:Number = 1; ii < 13; ii++){
	this["bar"+ii].alpha += ii * 0.083;
}

Also, is it possible to call on an instance and detect what the alpha is on it? So that once the alpha is 0.996 it resets to 0?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean your playing these on a timeline? Or what exactly?

[neo1487]

Yes, the snippet above is in frame 1 and in frame 2 I have "gotoAndPlay(1);" So essentially its a loop.

Is this what your after?

Granted I used frame 1 to dynamically create my clips, but the concept is still the same with frames 2 and 3.

No problem. Is there any further assistance that I can offer? I'm sorry that wasn't exactly it, but glad it helped.
