how to form field fade??

[DDD]

On macromedia's site, the form elements have this really cool fade in effect. http://www.macromedia.com at the top the search form element. My attempts at this effect look very cheesy...Does anyone know how this effect was achieved? a tut or a fla will be very nice.

I think they have that text field in another mc with that fade in effect. Try that!

I tried that and mine came out kinda weak.....and cumbersome....If I understand you correctly......I think it is being done with AS......but I thank u for the suggestion actually you made me think of something I am going to try somthing

If you are using MX, there is a component for this....

http://www.flashcomponents.net/component.cfm?nav=2&id=124

You can get it there.

Can you please tell what you figured out other than using the components?

And on the same (macromedia) site, how can i do the effect when you click any of the buttons of the left, there's like a courtain or something going from left to right

You can do that using layer masks. I have done something similar but have that file at home. Can post it once I am back home!

We do have a section for that. It is called Drawing and Design :)

Oh!!!.....I never really go there because it says for help or somethinglike that. I did not know you could use that area for a "hey check me out and look what i have done" section. I will go there more often. Too get opinion b4 I drop something.

Thanks....Oh I will post that file in a while here

Hey Beta you have the coolest footer

[lostinbeta]

Yeah, the D&D section is for both asking for help and showing off your "mad skillz". The section is great :) Not too many people post in there though :-\

Thanks for the compliment on my footer :beam:
