Alpha Fade with Actionscript - Flash 8

[Aussie01]

Hi,

I'm using Flash 8, and I have an FLV Playback Component in a movieclip called logo_mc. The Playback Component is loading a movie from an external source. I want this movieclip to fade out when I click a movie clip called green_mc.

I closest I have been to getting the right code is...

green_mc.onRelease = function(){
     speed=4;
     targetAlpha=0;
     logo_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
          alphaDifference=Math.abs(logo_mc._alpha-targetAlpha);
          if(logo_mc._alpha>targetAlpha){
               logo_mc._alpha-= alphaDifference/speed;
          } else if (logo_mc._alpha<targetAlpha){
               logo_mc._alpha+=alphaDifference/speed;
          } else if (logo_mc._alpha == targetAlpha){
               delete logo_mc.onEnterFrame
          }
     }
}

Is the problem that I'm trying to fade a movie clip with a component inside?

hi,

I created a simple example with the code in the livedocs and the code you posted, and it works as expected.

Just drag the FLV Component into the library.

nunomira,

you would be a life saver if you could reverse this code to a fade in!
the movie i'm trying to fade in, i created with createEmptyMovieClip and the drawing api, i can get it to fade in but, i can't get it to stop at a certain alpha. it goes all the way to 100 then dissappears.

I don't have flash now, but I guess it's this:

code:

---

green_mc.onRelease = function(){

     speed=4;

     targetAlpha=60;

     logo_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){

          alphaDifference=Math.abs(logo_mc._alpha-targetAlpha);

          if(logo_mc._alpha<targetAlpha){

               logo_mc._alpha+= alphaDifference/speed;

          } else {

               logo_mc._alpha=targetAlpha;

		delete logo_mc.onEnterFrame

          }

     }

}
