restore alpha after fade out

[styleBunny]

hi,

im using this code to fade my symbol (slider2), when a button is realsed using action script...

fadeOut = setInterval(fade, 100);
function fade() {
slider2._alpha -= x;
x = x+3;
if (Slider2._alpha<=0) {
clearnInterval(fadeOut);
}
}

when users roll over the next button, i want the alpha to be restored...
_root.slider2._alpha = 20;

i have that for the on roll over state, tho the symbol changes to this alpha for a second then disapears again...

helps ?

to your rollover

clearInterval(fadeOut)
_root.slider2._alpha = 20;

ok so i put that clear interval into my on roll over, and its all good. it behaves itself, so long as the user does what they are told and only does a single click.

if a user double clicks on the button, it still fades out, but when they roll onto the next button, the fade out happens automatically.

this i have no idea on.

make the first line of code in the on release function for the button

clearInterval(fadeOut);

that should clear up the double click thing.

functions in mx. have a look at the mx tutorial section at

http://www.ultrashock.com

ultrashock are strong on code.

Dont know how much time I would spend on actionscript now though. MX will still be in use a while yet but with the release of actionscript 2 we now have a proper programming language to work with, with quite different commands and ways of constructing statements.
