Fading in loaded swf

1

Hi all,

I have a holder_mc that I’m loading a swf into, and I wanted it to fade in. I’ve done this code.

The prototype works fine in other situations. so I’m pretty sure it’s not that.
Do i need to make sure the swf is fully loaded before doing something with it.

[AS]
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function(speed) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha += speed;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha == 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};
};
holder_mc._alpha = 0;
one_btn.onRelease = function() {
holder_mc.loadMovie(“image.swf”);
holder_mc.fadeIn(10);
};

[/AS]

I tried it, but still no success, is there something wrong with my method of testing

[AS]
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function(speed) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha += speed;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha == 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};
};
holder_mc._alpha = 0;
one_btn.onRelease = function() {
myLoader();
};
myLoader = function () {
holder_mc.loadMovie(“image.swf”);
var loaded = holder_mc.getBytesLoaded();
var total = holder_mc.getBytesTotal();
if (loaded/total==1) {
holder_mc.fadeIn(10);
trace(“here”)
}
};

I tried loading into another clip inside the holder_mc, but still no luck

help.

[AS]
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function(speed) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha += speed;
if (this._alpha>=100) {
this._alpha == 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};
};
holder_mc._alpha = 0;
one_btn.onRelease = function() {
myLoader();
};
myLoader = function () {
myClip = holder_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(“myHolder”, 1);
trace(myClip instanceof MovieClip);//true
myClip.loadMovie(“image.swf”);
myLoadCheck();
};
myLoadCheck = function () {
trace(“check”);
myClip.onEnterFrame = function() {
var Loaded = this.getBytesLoaded();
var Total = this.getBytesTotal();
if (Loaded/Total == 1) {
this.fadeIn(10);
trace(myClip instanceof MovieClip);//true
}
};
};

maybe

function myLoader() {
	myClip = holder_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("myHolder", 1);
	trace(myClip instanceof MovieClip);
	//true
	myClip.loadMovie("image.swf");
	myLoadCheck();
};
 function myLoadCheck() {
	trace("check");
	holder_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
		var Loaded = this.myHolder.getBytesLoaded();
		var Total = this.myHolder.getBytesTotal();
		if (Loaded/Total == 1) {
			this.fadeIn(10);
			trace(myClip instanceof MovieClip);
			//true
		}
	};
};
