Thanks for both responses. The odd thing that led to my initial inquiry was the code I've included below. If you use a Dissolve effect to fade them in or out, the fade works during the transition but the labels then reappear once the transition is complete.
I fixed my problem by adding "visible = false" or "visible = true" statements as appropriate in response to the "effectStart" and "effectEnd" events. You can see the original problem by removing those event handlers. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import flash.events.MouseEvent; import mx.controls.Alert; public function doZoom():void { if (zoomer.selected) { zoomIn.end(); zoomOut.play(); } else { zoomOut.end(); zoomIn.play(); } } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Parallel id="zoomIn" target="{theBox}"> <mx:Zoom originX="{theBox.width / 2}" originY="{theBox.height / 2}" zoomWidthFrom="10.0" zoomWidthTo="1.0" zoomHeightFrom="10.0" zoomHeightTo="1.0" /> <mx:Dissolve alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="1.0" effectStart="{theBox.visible=true}" /> </mx:Parallel> <mx:Parallel id="zoomOut" target="{theBox}"> <mx:Zoom originX="{theBox.width / 2}" originY="{theBox.height / 2}" zoomWidthFrom="1.0" zoomWidthTo="10.0" zoomHeightFrom="1.0" zoomHeightTo="10.0" /> <mx:Dissolve alphaFrom="1.0" alphaTo="0.0" effectEnd="{theBox.visible=false}"/> </mx:Parallel> <mx:Panel width="250" height="200" layout="vertical" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off"> <mx:VBox id="theBox" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle" verticalGap="10"> <mx:Button label="Button"/> <mx:CheckBox label="Checkbox"/> <mx:ComboBox></mx:ComboBox> <mx:HSlider/> <mx:Label/> </mx:VBox> </mx:Panel> <mx:CheckBox label="Zoom Zoom" id="zoomer" click="doZoom()"/> </mx:Application> -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
