Hi everyone,
As I receive responses from experts, I’m realizing more and more that I basically have been hacking my way through very basic things. So, I’m encountering some very basic questions over and over. This is one of such questions:
I have a “slideshow” type thing where 5 same-sized MCs need to fade in, stay at 100% for a few seconds, then fade out (or equivalent - I’m only speaking in visual terms, so whatever creates the illusion of the same effect is perfectly fine) as the next MC fades in, stays at 100% for a few seconds, and so on. It’s something that just runs on its own indefinitely in the “background,” not initiated by a Next or Previous button. This slideshow is an external swf that is called out from my main Movie into an empty MC.
I seem to have a habit of creating inefficient or too large files that get bogged down, and need to learn a way to do something like the above through smarter scripting, etc. I’ve been using this onEnterFrame script for nearly everything involving things fading in and out, and have recently discovered that I’m not supposed to be putting “onEnterFrame” actions on a whole bunch of things all at once.
I’m wondering if someone could direct me to scripting my “slideshow” efficiently and correctly, so that it won’t be so CPU-intensive.
Thank you so much!
