Sure, make it a member variable and set it's target property.
import mx.core.UIObject;
import mx.effects.Dissolve;
var dissolve_effect:Dissolve;
// called from initialize
function onCreationComplete()
{
dissolve = new Dissolve();
dissolve.duration = 3 * 1000;
dissolve.alphaFrom = 100;
dissolve.alphaTo = 0;
dissolve.suspendBackgroundProcessing = true;
}
function fadeSomething(o:UIObject):Void
{
dissolve.target = o;
dissolve.playEffect();
}
fadeSomething(yourButton);
fadeSomething(yourCow);

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Setting effect via AS
Thanks for the reply. Is there anyway to set an effect on an object
dynamically without having to create a new effect for each image
that is added? Won't this method result in a new effect being
created in memory for each image, as opposed to having one already
created effect that you attach each image to? My effect is a
sequence too, so it would actually be multiple effects for each
image.
If I am thinking about this incorrectly, just let me know.
Thanks for your help.

Pass the image's ID into the effect's contructor:

Subject: [flexcoders] Setting effect via AS
I need to set an effect (hideEffect) on a new object
(mx.controls.Image) that I am creating via AS and the effect does
not
seem to be playing when expected (hiding of image).
What is the correct way of adding an effect to an object
programatically? Is it treated like a property and takes a string
of
the name of the effect?
object.hideEffect = effectName;
I have not had success with any of the ways I have tried. Thanks in
advance for your help!
