fading problem!!!

[milked]

Hi i havent worked with actionscript for awhile and have a little problem !!

I have a picture that i fade with this code:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
new Tween(bg_billede, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 18, false);

but i want it to wait 10 frames before it starts to fade! how do i do that?? im using AS2 please help a pretty desperate guy...

Try something like this

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var timed:Number = setTimeout(fader, 2000)//wait 2 seconds before firing
function fader(){
new Tween(bg_billede, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 18, false);
}

Hope it helps

Thanks that was just what i was searching for works perfect!!
now im just curious, is it possible to turn the seconds into frames so that it is a number of frames before my fading starts ?

You could bin the timeout and instead on the tenth frame have fader()
