Image Fade for splash page 1

[GUJUm0deL]

Hi, this is what i'd like to accomplish:
I'm creating a splash page. I have 3 images that i'd like to gradually fade into the next image. How can I do that??
Thanks...

billwatson, you're action tween script shows me how to fade in, but what I want is:
image1 [fade into ->] image2 [fade into ->] image3 [fade back into ->] image1, and so forth...

ok

fade out image 1
when the interval is cleared (see code) dynaically load image 2
fade in image 2

and so on

billwatson, hi i tried that. I got it fade-in and fade-out (with the same image) but on your code...on my code, I get an error:

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {

And I created a button also. I did:
1) Selected 'pushButton' from components
2) Did F8 (convert to symbol -> button)
3) Selected Frame1
4) And then I added this code...
This is the code I entered:

on (release) {
clearInterval(showclip);
fadeclip = setInterval(fade, 100);
function fade() {
clip.hen--;
message.text = "Alpha = "+clip.hen;
if (clip.hen<0) {
clip.hen = 0;
message.text = &quot;Alpha = 0&quot;;
clearInterval(fadeclip);
}
}
showclip = setInterval(fadeIn, 100)
function fadeIn(){
clip.tiger ++;
message.text = &quot;Alpha = &quot; + clip._alpha;
if (clip.tiger >100){
clip.tiger = 100;
message.text = &quot;Alpha = 100&quot;;
clearInterval(showclip);
}
}
}

you cant do that to the pushbutton component. well you cant do that to a movieclip which is what you made the button.

place an empty movie clip on stage with an instance name
i will call it clip. name your images 123 etc. this should be enough to get you going.

i = 1;
loadmovie(&quot;image&quot; +i + &quot;.jpg&quot;,clip);
fadeclip = setInterval(fade, 100);
function fade() {
clip.--;
message.text = &quot;Alpha = &quot;+clip.hen;
if (clip._alpha<=0) {
clip._alpha = 0;
message.text = &quot;Alpha = 0&quot;;
clearInterval(fadeclip);
i++;
loadmovie(&quot;image&quot; +i + &quot;.jpg&quot;,clip);
showclip = setInterval(fadeIn, 100)
}
}

function fadeIn(){
clip._alpha ++;
message.text = &quot;Alpha = &quot; + clip._alpha;
if (clip._alpha >=100){
clip._alpha = 100;
message.text = &quot;Alpha = 100&quot;;
i++;
loadmovie(&quot;image&quot; +i + &quot;.jpg&quot;,clip);
clearInterval(showclip);
}
}

billwatson, it works, errr kinda...image1 phases out and image2 phases in, but then image3 just appears...how can I get image2 phase into image3, then image3 phase into image1??
And lastly, right now the movie works when you click the button, can I make it into an onload movie?? I want the image phasing to start and keep going (kinda like a loop) when the .swf file is loaded...I tried on (load) but that did not work...

this is very close to what you need...up to you to make it work the way you want


var i = 100;
var j = 1;
loadmovie(&quot;image&quot; + j + &quot;.jpg&quot;,clip);
fadeclip = setInterval(fade, 100);
function fade() {
i --;
clip._alpha = i;
if (i<=0) {
clip._alpha = 0;
clearInterval(fadeclip);
j ++;
loadmovie(&quot;image&quot; + j + &quot;.jpg&quot;,clip);
showclip = setInterval(fadeIn, 100)
}
}

function fadeIn(){
i ++;
clip._alpha = i;
if (i >=100){
clip._alpha = 100;
j ++;
loadmovie(&quot;image&quot; + j + &quot;.jpg&quot;,clip);
clearInterval(showclip);
if (j<4){
fadeclip = setInterval(fade, 100);
}else{
j = 0;
fadeclip = setInterval(fade, 100);
}
}
}

billwatson, hi, sorry for the late reply, been busy all of a sudden...
Well, I got the thing to work the way I wanted, with some tweaking of the idea/script...
One last help, how can I make it so that movie runs as it loads in the browser?? As of now, I have it as on (release) which requires the pressing of a button...I want to be able to have the movie load on its own...
Once again, thanks...

Sorry I meant to say have the movie load and run without pressing/clicking anything...

just take the code out of the button and place it in the timeline as a frame action. then delete the button.
