Problem with AS3 Tweens

programming flash
1

Hi

New to AS3 and just having one problem. I am using this code to load in my external swf’s with a preloader I’m using the tweens to just fade in and out my swf’s, works well.

This is my code


var movieLoad:Loader = new Loader();
var movieURL1:String = "flash_work/projects/threeAxisMcCentre.swf";
var movieURL2:String = "flash_work/projects/sheetSteel.swf";

var movieReq1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(movieURL1);
var movieReq2:URLRequest = new URLRequest(movieURL2);

movieLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler );
movieLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileLoaded );

movieLoad.load(movieReq1);
holder_mc.addChild(movieLoad);

function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
	var bytestotal = event.bytesTotal; 
	var bytesloaded = event.bytesLoaded;
	var percentVar = Math.round(bytesloaded * 100 /bytestotal );
	externalPreLoader_mc.gotoAndStop ( percentVar );
}

function fileLoaded(event:Event):void
{
	removeChild( externalPreLoader_mc );
	var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(holder_mc, "alpha",Back.easeOut,0,1,1,true);
}

//External Movie Loads
function loadInMovie1 (event:MouseEvent):void
{	
	var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(holder_mc, "alpha",Back.easeOut,1,0,1,true);
	myTween2.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, startLoad);
	
	function startLoad (event:TweenEvent):void
	{
	addChild( externalPreLoader_mc );
	movieLoad.load(movieReq1);
	holder_mc.addChild(movieLoad);
	}
}

But when I add this code to fade in my initial movie contents the whole swf just doesn’t work properly, well it does in flash but not in a web browser either locally or on a server.

This is the code I’m using to fade in my initial movie


//Fade in Actions (when the SWF first opens)
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;


TransitionManager.start(nav_mc, {type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN, duration:6, easing:Strong.easeOut});
TransitionManager.start(movieBack_mc, {type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN, duration:6, easing:Strong.easeOut});
TransitionManager.start(secondaryNav_mc, {type:Fade, direction:Transition.IN, duration:6, easing:Strong.easeOut});

If I comment out this code the whole thing is fine but left in the external swfs just don’t fade in properly.

I would love to know why or an alternative way of fading in my items initallly. Not into OOP techniques yet btw.

Thanks very much
