RE: [flexcoders] adding effects in action script

> Do you know of any metrics round this?   Sorry, I don't have any. But calling setStyle() on a single control shouldn't be particularly expensive. Calling setStyle() on a class selector or the global selector would be, though, because it affects multiple components.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of David Harris Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 5:03 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] adding effects in action script   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?

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.
