Hi all,
I’m new to Flash and just starting to get my head round ActionScript in Flash CS4, so if I’m missing something blindingly obvious, please bear with me.
I’m creating a little project that uses GetDate and a little bit of maths to calculate an approximate sunrise and sunset time to give a value (called “opacity”, and ranging from 0 to 100) that changes how bright a movie clip looks depending how bright it is outside.
I’ve done the brightness bit with a black version of the movieclip duplicated on top of the main version, and changing the transparency of the black version from opaque to transparent using
Object.alpha = opacity
However.
At 100 the routine works fine, and at 0 it works fine too. If it returns a value in between (ie 50, or 99, or 1), it still looks like alpha=100. So instead of a smooth transition, I get a jump on or off.
What am I doing wrong?
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers
Rob
