MovieClip _alpha

programming flash
1

for (i=1; i<=parseInt(_level0.count); i++) {
mc=createEmptyMovieClip(“puppyholder”+i, i);
mc._x=i*100;
mc._y=200;
this.onRollOver=function(){
this._alpha=20;
}
loadMovie(“puppy”+i+".jpg", mc);
}

Can anyone figure out why this makes all the created movieClips have an _alpha = to 20, instead of just the one I RollOver?

2

Change “this” to “mc”

Does that change anything?

3

nope, that makes nothing happen.

4

Ok, try replacing it with…

_root[puppyholder"+i].onRollOver=function(){
_root[puppyholder"+i]._alpha=20;
}

Or something along those lines.

5

that also makes it not work at all…

6

Alright… give me a few I will see what I can do.

I can’t work on it for long as I am currently working on something else.

Can you post your .fla?

And any other files needed (if any).

7

it is larger than 102400 bytes, can I send it to you by other means?

8

Can you upload it to a server in a .zip file?

9

you would need picture files and a text file too. Maybe I’ll catch you when you have more time. Thank you for trying.

10

You could put that all into a .zip file. That is… if you are on a windows OS and have winZip (or some other zip program).

11

then where do I post it?

12

Do you have your own website server you could upload to?

13

go to geocities.com and log in as me:

download theGoods.zip

Ok, I downloaded the file… I didn’t need to log in as you though, I just went to the URL and got it.

So I removed the info so no one else could get it.

15

Ok… so now I have to ask…

Where is the code located at in the movie?

16

in the “slider” MovieClip…

17

in the “puppies” folder…sorry

18

Ah yes… I see it now… ok, I will work on this now.

I’m trying to create a horizontal slider just like the one on the bottom of this page:

http://www.dvarchive.com/

the only difference being that when the user clicks on an image in the slider it will display that same image larger above the slider.

I will pay you if you finish for me or help me finish…

thanks for your help so far too

One project at a time please (although I don’t know if I will be able to do this one).

You can click the contact link in my profile on the button under my post and send me an e-mail. I will get back to you on that menu thing.

That is almost like my Flash Footer (see signature part of post), so I think I can do that :slight_smile:
