fade from one movie clip to another movie clip

cre8ive1974 Jul 19, 2006 7:48 AM

Hi,

I want to fade from one MC to another MC with out keyframes. I downloaded some component items in the Flash Exchange (fader, simple effect library) but I can't figure out how to work them. They say drag on to the movieclip you want to fade in, but it doesn't work when I view it. Is there another way?

I just want to have an image in a viewer on the screen with a selection of images in thumbnails to the left. you click on a thumbnail and it fades in over the image that is in the viewer. I don't want the viewer to go empty then fade in the image, I want what ever image is in the viewer to remain and whatever image they select in the thumbnails to fade in over. So you see it is a random selection, so keyframes won't work....

any help would be appreciated as I am rather new to Flash and have been stumbling over this one for a while

thanks!

you can use the tween class.

example:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
new Tween(my_movie_clip, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 3, true);

heres a link to the tutorial > http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/tweening.html
