Hi,
I’m trying to load a picture with this actionscript.
this.pathToPics = “”;
this.pArray = [“guy2.png”];
this.fadeSpeed = 80;
this.pIndex = 0;
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[0], \_root.photo);
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) {
this.pIndex = (this.pIndex+d)%this.pArray.length;
if (this.pIndex\<0) {
this.pIndex += this.pArray.length;
}
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut = function() {
if (this.photo.\_alpha\>this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo.\_alpha -= this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.loadPhoto();
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function() {
// root waar hij foto vandaan haalt
var p = \_root.photo;
//------------------------------------------
p.\_alpha = 0;
p.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[this.pIndex]);
this.onEnterFrame = loadMeter;
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
var i, l, t;
l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();
t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();
if (t\>0 && t == l) {
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
} else {
trace(l/t);
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
if (this.photo.\_alpha\<100-this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo.\_alpha += this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.photo.\_alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};
Why is’my fade effect not working???
