[FMX] simple doubt in actionscript...

[rasarasan]

Hi folks..
I have a movieclip which i want to gradually come into focus(vary the _alpha value) on mouseover and fade away on mouseout.
I am new to actionscript.
can anyone help.
this is my code assigned for the movieclip..
but nothing seems to happen on mouseover.
============================
on(rollover) {
if(this._alpha < 75) {
this._alpha = 75;
}
else {
this._alpha = 0;
}
}
on(rollOut) {
this._alpha=0;
}
============================
pls help me out..
thanks

Ok, to make this work you need to apply the button code to a movie clip. Yes, in MX this is luckily possible (I love this feature).

Ok, now you want to apply this code to the movie clip...

on (rollOver) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha -= 5;
if (this._alpha<=0) {
this._alpha = 0;
}
};
}
on (rollOut) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha += 5;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha = 100;
}
};
}

That tells it that when you rollover the alpha should keep decreasing by 5 until it hits 0.

Then when you rollout the alpha should increase by 5 until it gets back to 100.

Why we did this on a movie clip: The onEnterFrame feature is what allows it to gradually fade. A simple rollOver function would only do the process once everytime you rolled over the button instance.

Nice code, Lost. But if I may add something... :beam:
on (rollOver) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha -= 5;
if (this._alpha<=0) {
this._alpha = 0;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
on (rollOut) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha += 5;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha = 100;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}pom :cowboy:
