Some questions..

[Celor]

Hey all.

Im making a flash...thing at the moment, it asks as a sort of image gallery, but not. :-)

Anyway, I have a few problems, I've also attached my .fla file to help explain (had to upload to MegaUpload as its 3.7mb)

I'll explain what it is, if I can.
There are currently two buttons on the wall, shaped as stones, they turn red when hovered over just as a place holder (they are in the top row, top left and one a few more stones to the right)

When hovered over a picture fades in.

When fading in the picture in the top left, it overlaps the other button on the stage and the button actually appears on TOP of the image, which I don't want obviously.

Is there anyway to fix that?

Second question, how do I make the pictures fade away when the user moves the mouse off the button? (Using AS2.0 if programming is needed :-)

Hope i've explained well, thanks!

heres some code and notes.

stop();

//you need these
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;


    
    button.onRelease = function () {
        fadein();
    }
    
    
    
    function fadein() {
        //attaches the picture from your library to the stage, make sure you right click your picture, choose linkage and give
//it a linkage id of picture
    attachMovie("picture","picture",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
    picture._alpha = 0
    picture._x = 100  // it an X position
    picture._y = 100 //give it a Y position 
    
    myalpha = new Tween(picture, "_alpha", None.easeIn, 0, 100, 5, true);
    /*picture is your instance name, _alpha is its transparency, it will ease in, alpha will start at 0 
    and increase to 100 over 5 seconds
    the true tells it the 5 is realtime and not frames.*/
    
    //do something after its done.
    myalpha.onMotionFinished = function() {
        //whatever you want here, you may want to make your button invisible with
        button._visible = false;
        //since you have problems with overlapping
    }
}

also for your overlapping problem, you could try attaching them as movieclips at certain depths. like in the example above just write 999,997,996 or something like that to set the order of each.

hope this helps ya mate.
