Hi,
I am currently in the process of transitioning from AS2 to AS3 and am having problems with a really simple script. Basically, as this is written, it loads a new specific external swf when each of the buttons are clicked. In AS2, I know I was able to load external swfs, give them an alpha of 0 and then use a Tween to increase their alpha to 100. When I do this in AS3, it still tweens them in, but I am unable to interact with the external swf. It just sits like it is when you first open it.
I am wondering if it is because I am using the loader as the Tween object. I tried putting the loader into a container and then tried to Tween the container, but that didn’t work either.
Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!
Here is my script:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.;
import fl.transitions.;
import fl.transitions.easing.;
var swfs:Array = [“1.swf”, “2.swf”, “3.swf”, “4.swf”];
var loader:Loader = new Loader;
var container:Sprite = new Sprite;
var btnContainer:Sprite = new Sprite;
loader.load(new URLRequest(“1.swf”));
this.addChild(container);
container.addChild(loader);
container.scaleX = .5;
container.scaleY = .5;
for (var i:int=0; i<swfs.length; i++) {
var myBtn:MyBtn = new MyBtn();
btnContainer.addChild(myBtn);
myBtn.buttonMode = true;
myBtn.x = i*(myBtn.width+5);
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, btnOnRelease);
}
this.addChild(btnContainer);
btnContainer.y= 300;
function btnOnRelease(event:MouseEvent):void {
for (var a=0; a<btnContainer.numChildren; a++) {
btnContainer.getChildAt(a).alpha = .5;
}
event.target.alpha = 1;
var target:DisplayObject = btnContainer.getChildByName(event.target.name);
loader.unload();
loader.load(new URLRequest(swfs[btnContainer.getChildIndex(target)]));
loader.alpha = 0;
var loaderTween = new Tween(loader, “alpha”, Regular.easeIn, 0, 100, 3, true);
}
