Sure, make it a member variable and set it's target property.
import mx.core.UIObject;
import mx.effects.Dissolve;
var dissolve_effect:Dissolve;
// called from initialize
function onCreationComplete()
{
dissolve = new Dissolve();
dissolve.duration = 3 * 1000;
dissolve.alphaFrom = 100;
dissolve.alphaTo = 0;
dissolve.suspendBackgroundProcessing = true;
}
function fadeSomething(o:UIObject):Void
{
dissolve.target = o;
dissolve.playEffect();
}
fadeSomething(yourButton);
fadeSomething(yourCow);

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Setting effect via AS
Thanks for the reply. Is there anyway to set an effect on an object
dynamically without having to create a new effect for each image
that is added? Won't this method result in a new effect being
created in memory for each image, as opposed to having one already
created effect that you "attach" each image to? My effect is a
sequence too, so it would actually be multiple effects for each
image.
If I am thinking about this incorrectly, just let me know.
Thanks for your help.
