autoAlpha

[ekessler]

This seems like a simple question. What is the code to make autoAlpha set to 0 when the movie plays. I have an array of objects called helpArray. When I use this it flashes at the beginning of the movie.

TweenMax.allTo(helpArray,.01,{autoAlpha:0});

 

Should I be using helpArray.visible = false ?

 

Thanks.

if you use a duration of 0 that should work fine:

 

TweenMax.allTo(helpArray, 0, {autoAlpha:0});

thanks

 

I guess I was under the impression that the time value can't be zero.

[ekessler]

Even with the time set to 0 it still flashes.

Any ideas?

Hi. it is difficult to diagnose the problem without seeing how your file is built.

Please create a very simple example that demonstrates the problem and attach a zip here.

thanks.

Thank you so much for your help. I do not have the time to put a file together today. If you need one I will do it on Sunday. The problem only happens in the browser--not when I test it in flash. In the mean time this is the code that I have used regarding these assets:

 

 

 

var helpArray:Array = [help_mc,helpBar_mc,help_btn1,help_btn2,help_btn3,help_btn4,help_btn5,help_btn6,help_btn7,help_btn8,help_btn9,help_btn10,shadow_mc,help_close_btn];
TweenMax.allTo(helpArray, 0,{autoAlpha:0});

function hideHelpClose_btn ():void{
var tlHelp:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite
tlHelp.insert(TweenMax.to(help_close_btn, 0,{autoAlpha:0}));
tlHelp.append(TweenMax.to(help_close_btn, 2,{autoAlpha:1, ease:Expo.easeOut, delay:1.5}));
}


help_close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helpClose_fn);
function helpClose_fn(event:MouseEvent):void {
TweenMax.allTo(helpArray, 1.5,{autoAlpha:0});
TweenMax.allTo([answer_btn,helpMain_btn,back_btn], 1.5,{autoAlpha:1});
}


help_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helpMove_fn1); 
function helpMove_fn1(event:MouseEvent):void {
hideHelpClose_btn ();
TweenMax.to(help_mc,1,{x:helpMove * 0, ease:Expo.easeOut});
}

 

Please let me know if you will need me to make a file.

thanks again.

I have some other things going on, so I have not worked on this project in while.

 

I think I figured out the problem. The program first loads an external file and then the alpha was set to zero. I moved the alpha to top of the code and it stopped flashing. I guess in the split second it took to load, the alpha was set to 1 and therefore flashed.

 

Does this make sense?

[Carl]

yes that sounds like a likely culprit.

thy this way

 

immediateRender:true

 

tl.append( TweenMax.fromTo(large_alb_siena, 1, {alpha:0}, {alpha:1, onComplete:tl.pause, immediateRender:true, onStart:updateCurrentSection }) ) ;
