Hi,
Really all mxml are actionscript classes.
So in your extended component;
- create
private var tween:Fade;
In createChildren() or something like it;
tween = new Fade(this);
tween.alphaTo = getStyle("fadeAlphaTo");
tween.alphaFrom = getStyle("fadeAlphaFrom");
// any other defaults or initializations
Then in a handler or method, trigger it.
private function fadeTrigger():void
{
tween.play();
}
Remember, you can also add update and end handlers to the tween instance.
You could reset this instance, play it in reverse(). Just check out the
ASDoc's on Fade.
Peace, Mike

When instantiating a component through mxml I can easily add an effect
to the hideEffect parameter, but what if I always want that effect to
occur in an extended component?
What method would I have to extend?
Or what event would I have to listen to?
If using the fade effect, also what would be the best way to implement it?
Thank you for any help,
Claudia
