Movie fading

Ok, i’ve got a movie, and i’m making an intro for a lil thingy i did, so i wanna fade the movie out, how do i go about doing this?!?!?:q:

change the alpha setting in a tween (guessing you dont know actionscript)

Ok…i’m so confused and frusterated. Ok, in my movie, theres an accual movie of a car on a dyno test. NE Who! The movie is only 285 frames long and from frame 265 to 285 i want it to fade out

Hey-
This is kind of cheating, but it is a really easy way of doing it. Create a new level above everything. On frame 265, insert a key frame and draw a big black box over the whole stage. Select the black box and hit F8, convert it to a movie clip. On 285, create a keyframe. Right click inbetween these two keyframes and hit Create Motion Tween. Click on the frame 265. Go down to the properties panel to where it says color. In the drop down box, chose alpha - change the alpha to 0%. Thus making a box that slowly appears over your movie. Voila.

I would have made you a .fla, but I’m at work and don’t have flash. Hope this helps anyway!

or you can paste this script at frame 265

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha -= 5;
}

at frame 285

delete this.onEnterFrame;

and to set the alpha back to 100;

this._alpha = 100;

:wink: =)

thank you very much, i did it the cheating way and looks fine, :evil: no one will ever know…hehehe

The cheating way is fine but will take more file space than the actionscripting. So you know for the future. When you have time, you should play around with the actionscripting. You will probably use alpha quite a bit and it’s less time consuming to use AS.
All in all, I’m glad it’s working for you!
