[Flashcoders] MC alpha fades and swapdepths

2005-11-07 Thread Kurt Dommermuth

Hi All,

I am faced with another one of those problems that I think should be 
simple, but for whatever reason I can't solve.


Hopefully someone can help.

I have a series of movieclips stacked on top of each other beginning with 
MC1 and ending with MC6.


I want MC1 to fade out revealing MC2.

MC2 to fade out revealing MC3 and so on.

but when it gets to MC6, I want MC6 to fade out revealing MC1.

I know what I need to do (i think, but it's not working).

I need to take the previous MC that has just faded out and swap it's depth 
to the lowest depth of the 6 MCs and reset it's alpha to 100 so the process 
can loop indefinitely.


but I'm not able to do this.

I'm not able to think through to where I missing the boat.

can anyone offer some guidance?

thank you,
Kurt

That's the way to do it.

thank you!

Can you not just turn off the visibility of everything exceptthe one 
fading in and the one fading out. Once you fade-out to alpha almost zero, 
turn off the visibbilty of the faded out image.


You probably can just set the alpha to 0 for the ones that you do not want 
to see.


Visibility is probably better for performance.
