Set Queue's Alpha

[iTech]

Is there any way to set the alpha of an entire queue to 1 instead of individually setting them?

 

For instance:

var queue:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax({ name: 'queue', onComplete: display });
				
				queue.append(new ImageLoader('image1.png', { width: 112, height: 107, x: 502, y: 426, bgColor: 000000, scaleMode: 'proportionalInside', alpha: 0, container: this }));
				queue.append(new ImageLoader('image2.png', { width: 112, height: 107, x: 746, y: 426, bgColor: 000000, scaleMode: 'proportionalInside', alpha: 0, container: this }));
				queue.append(new ImageLoader('image3.png', { width: 112, height: 107, x: 990, y: 426, bgColor: 000000, scaleMode: 'proportionalInside', alpha: 0, container: this }));
				queue.append(new ImageLoader('image4.png', { width: 112, height: 107, x: 1234, y: 426, bgColor: 000000, scaleMode: 'proportionalInside', alpha: 0, container: this }));

Obviously there are more than 4 images being loaded but this is just for example.

Well, you could certainly just loop through the content like:

var content:Array = queue.content; //returns an array of ContentDisplay objects if they're all ImageLoaders or SWFLoaders
for (var i:int = 0; i < content.length; i++ ) {
    content[i].alpha = 0;
}

Or if you've got v12 of the tweening platform, you should be able to do this:

TweenLite.set(queue.content, {alpha:0});

Is that what you were looking for?

That's absolutely perfect! Thanks for the quick response.

 

When did v12 release? I have TweenMax but not TweenLite unfortunately.

Hmm not sure of the exact date, but v12 has been available for over a year and it's kind of great.

 

TweenMax extends TweenLite, so if you have TweenMax available, you will also have access to TweenLite. There's no harm in using TweenLite after importing TweenMax, unless your tween needs to use a specific feature of TweenMax like repeat, yoyo etc.

Good to know, thanks.

 

I'll give the TweenLite import a try.

Just to clarify, if you import TweenMax into the page, then TweenLite is automatically available - no extra import required.
