Re: [flexcoders] adding effects in action script

[John Kirby]

Title: quote

I think this should work? var imageFade:mx.effects.EffectsInstance; imageFade = fadeIn.createInstance(imgNewImage); imageFade.play(); David Harris said the following: Hi I am creating an Image in Script and then adding it to a tile. I have added an event listner to the "complete" event of the image that switches visible to "true" I would like to add a showEffect to the image, but can't see how to do it... Here is a snippet of code: ================================================= var imgNewImage:Image = new mx.controls.Image(); imgNewImage.addEventListener("complete",imageCompleteHandler); imgNewImage.source = "[Source URL of Image]"; imgNewImage.height = 75; imgNewImage.width = 75; imgNewImage.visible = false; //add it to the tile imageDisplayTile.addChild(imgNewImage); ================================================= I looked in the docs and see that an image has a showEffect value, which you call in the tag like this: <mx:Image showEffect="{fadeIn}".... /> and you declare the effect like this (as per docs example): <mx:Fade id="fadeIn" duration="1000" alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="1.0"/> How do I assign my "fadeIn" fade effect to my imgNewImage in script? imgNewImage.showEffect doesn't work. Any ideas anyone? -- Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right.  - Henry Ford __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
