 |
|
I'm trying to make a bitmap fade in but it won't let me change the alpha then just shape tween. So i used this code:
| Code: |
onClipEvent(load){
this._alpha = 0;
}
onClipEvent(enterframe){
this._alpha += 10;
}
|
but it only works smoothly when i leave the alpha increase at 10, and it's too fast then... could someone tell me what i'm doing wrong or give me an easier way, b/c i feeling i'm making this much harder than it is. |

| Just make the bmp a graphic, then you should be able to change the alpha in order to fade it in |

Phate: converting to a graphic symbol usually isn't a very good idea as they don't allow enough control when it's just as easy to have a movieclip.
Solar42693: Set the flash movie framerate higher. If you're working at the default framerate of 12fps everything will seem very choppy. I usually work at about 60 as it allows me to have everything smooth and 60 is also the highest low end monitors can refresh at so the flash movie gets better quality but is still viewable as intended by everyone. |

| Except that if you are just fading an object in, the graphic is plenty. You do not need to complicate the matter by creating a movieclip. |

But what happens when you want to adapt this later on by performing movieclip specific functions? Oh whoops you can't do it you'll have to go back and convert ALL of the graphics to movieclips.
Anything a graphic can do a mc can do better. |
