Re: [flexcoders] adding effects in action script

[David Harris]

Thanks guys!Both ways work! (Slight syntax error in John's example, but was easy to work out)@Gordon: the docs on setStyle say "Calling the setStyle() method can result in decreased performance.
      Use it only when necessary."Do you know of any metrics round this?On 9/27/06, Gordon Smith <

A showEffect is actually a style whose
value is an Effect, so you'd do

 

    imgNewImage.setStyle("showEffect",
fadeIn);

Subject: [flexcoders] adding
effects in action script



 







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?
