Fade Out External SWF on MouseEvent

[stevensunsunsun]

Hi there,

I am so stuck on the simplest of transitions! I've just started using AS3 and and doing alright so far, but have been looking for days for a solution to this.... HELP ME PLEASE!!?

I have a simple gallery with 3 buttons.

Each button calls in a different SWF. The SWF fades into place, and when you click on a different button it is removed and a new one fades into the same position.

All done with AS3 (below). What I just can't manage is how to fade the SWF out before the

removeChild(gallery);

kicks in.... please tell me how!!

// Import classes for easier use

import fl.transitions.Tween;

import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

import fl.transitions.easing.*;



// Load Default Image Into gallery

var Xpos:Number = 20;

var Ypos:Number = 90;

var swf:MovieClip;

var gallery:Loader = new Loader();



var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/img1.swf");



gallery.load(defaultSWF);

gallery.x = Xpos;

gallery.y = Ypos;

addChild(gallery);



// Btns Universal function

function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {

	removeChild(gallery);

	var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/" + event.target.name + ".swf");

	var myTweenIn:Tween = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, 0, 1, 1, true);

	gallery.load(newSWFRequest);

	gallery.x = Xpos;

    gallery.y = Ypos;

	addChild(gallery);

}

// Btn listeners

img1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);

img2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);

img3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);

wow... thanks to kglad in Adobe's forums...

var myTweenOut:Tween;

var nextLoadS:String;



function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {

nextLoadS = event.target.name

myTweenOut=new Tween(gallery,"alpha",None.easeOut,gallery.alpha,0,1,true);

myTweenOut.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteF);

}



function tweenOutCompleteF(e:TweenEvent){

myTweenOut.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteF);

myTweenOut=null;

    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/" + nextLoadS + ".swf");

    var myTweenIn:Tween = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, gallery.alpha, 1, 1, true);

    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);

    gallery.x = Xpos;

    gallery.y = Ypos;

}
