Motion Tween alpha

programming flash
1

Hey all,

I have just finished the motion tween tutorial for flash 8 and I noticed that the example circle fades in and out. How do you do this? I have tried what I did with the basic flash but no luck… Anyone help me?

Thanks,

new mx.transitions.Tween(MC,"_alpha",mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 0, 100, 35);[/AS]

Nothing is happening :diss:

replace MC with your clip’s name, and be sure you are referencing the right level. :slight_smile:

5

you also have to make sure you’re importing the transitions class; I’ve just been learning this :slight_smile: Here’s the code-

import mx.transitions.Tween;

6 
new mx.transitions.Tween(MC,"_alpha",mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 0, 100, 35);

==

import mx.transitions.Tween;
new Tween(MC,"_alpha",mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 0, 100, 35);

I’ve tried changing it to different things;
Basic Circle Motion Tween <-Save name of the flash
Circle (Graphic)<- The actual circle
Star (Graphic)<- No idea why that is there?
star_mc (Movie clip)
Layer 1
I don’t under stand what I need to do =S

does circle have an instance name?

9

Where would I find it?

10

at the bottom in the properties of the object, you wil see instance name.

11

All I can see is ‘shape’ and I have to double click on the circle

12

make sure your circle is an instance of a movie clip symbol.

13

I don’t understand that?
I changed the circle to a Movie Clip and still nothing =-/

Instance Name:

This is all I have

This is what I have

17

convert it to a symbol (F8 I believe)
