I will try that and let you know.
One question, sort of off-sub, but in regards to what you just wrote.
When you "delete" something does this remove it completely?
or would it be available if that frame was played again?

Thanks for taking the time.. really appreciate it.

Oh, I forgot to remove the onEnterFrame when it's no longer needed.
Please add this line to the end of the function:
if( progress >= 1 ) delete this.onEnterFrame;

Oh no, I am just wanting to check what time of day it is and have my
background fade from dark to light accordingly.
The code you supplied, I think will do that, just haven't got off
work yet
to try out. :)
Well, it fades out for 12h, then fades back in for 12h, beginning at
6am each day.
But now I think I really know what you mean. We can recycle most
of the lines:
var sunrise : Number = 6; // hour of day when sun begins to rise
var fadeDuration = 100; // as number of frames
var framesElapsed : Number = 0;
var minutesPerDay : Number = 24 * 60;
var time : Date = new Date();
var minuteOfDay : Number = time.getHours() * 60 + time.getMinutes();
var deltaMinutes : Number = (minuteOfDay - sunrise * 60 +
minutesPerDay) % minutesPerDay;
var cycleElapsed : Number = deltaMinutes / minutesPerDay; // [0...1[
BKGND.BKGND_Grad.onEnterFrame = function () {
var progress : Number = framesElapsed / fadeDuration;
// here we check if the sun is supposed to set or to rise:
if( cycleElapsed < .5 ) {
// the sun is still rising
this._alpha = (1 - progress) * 100;
} else {
// the sun is setting
this._alpha = progress * 100;
}
};
I am more so wanting to know why, if my code is correct, why its
throwing
this operand error.
very mysterious and bugging me to no end :-P
Yeah, I'd like to know that, too. Possibly, closing and restarting
Flash will fix it? It has its mysterious ways sometimes, at least
that's how it used to be. :/
