[Action Script] changer une valeur _alpha progressivement ?

Bonjour,
Je souhaiterais en cliquant sur un clip qui fait office de
bouton, qu'un
autre clip nommé clip2 puisse voir sa valeur _alpha se
changer mais
progressivement et lentement tant que ma souris reste sur le
clip réactif.
Je sais la faire se changer d'un seul coup dans le style :
on(rollover) {
_root.clip2._alpha=5;
Mais comment faire par exemple pour que cela se fasse en
douceur genre de
_alpha=100 à _alpha=5 et lentement et en ActionScript,
sans que j'ai donc à
effectuer une interpolation sur une timeline.
J'ai essayé avec une boucle mais ça ne donne rien.
Merci !

Bonjour,
Merci pour votre réponse :-)
J'ai en effet testé la fonction d'export en .fla qui "résoud" le problème,
mais rajoute une étape de plus dans ma production.
Le Document natif In Design ne comporte bien qu'une seule page, ducoup
je m'étais effectivement posé la question de lecture de différentes pages par le Flash Player…
au vu des nouvelles fonctionnalités (FlipBook) — en veillant bien à cocher page active au cas ou.
Mon document In Design n'est pas compliqué en soit, il s'agit juste d'un Tableau avec des données chiffrées,
c'est ce que je n'arrive pas à comprendre car tout fonctionnait bien "avant". J'ai fait tout de même fait un test en cochant Export HTML pour voir le rendu et là tout est correct cependant le Swf n'est pas "imbriqué" comme dans ma composition...
Peut-être y'a -il d'autres réglages que je ne saurai trouver ?
Merci encore pour votre aide.
Cordialement,
Bertrand

  • Changing an action script from 2.0 to 3.0 & Flash 5 to the latest??

    I have an action script 2.0 that I need to change to 3.0 and was wondering how to do that.  Also wondering since I did this a number of years ago, I need to have my Tsunami menu updated to the latest Flash movie.  Is there a way to do this?

    you have to understand as2 code so you can see what's being done and then you must understand as3 code so you can rewrite it.  there are some automated conversions that can accomplish some of that but i haven't seen any that are less time-consuming that doing it the long way.

  • Show the user action script function is in progress

    Hi friends,
    iam using action script code to store bitmap images and

    This code takes noticable time to complete.How can i show the

    The bar won't animate unless you give it a source.
    Also, it won't animate if a loop clogs up the CPU.
    Consider using callLater() for step by step execution of the
    function in sync with the application framerate.

  • Action script 3 and adding code to buttons

    When I open a new doc and selct action script 3 it won't
    allow me to insert code by selcting the button on the stage. It
    does if I select action script 2. All my old pages update ok but if
    I make new buttons it wont take the code. CAn someone tell me what
    is going on???
    Thanks a lot

    If your in a bind at the moment, I would suggest not
    attempting to learn AS3. The system is very different, good, but
    different, the syntax structure is much more strict and most things
    have been revised to use a listener/broadcaster (or event
    dispatcher) model, as well as most coding being class oriented,
    additionally the graphic display structure is quite different.
    Now did you change your publish settings back to AS2? If so,
    you should still be able to apply the above code to a button
    instance. However, as Dave stated, even in AS2 the code is best
    used from the timeline, to do so with the code above (which the on
    handler above is meant for Object attachment) you need to write it
    like this:
    my_btn.onPress = function() {
    _root.loadMovie("graphic_arts/graphic_arts.swf");
    I would also consider using a MovieClipLoader and the
    loadClip method forloading swf files, as it gives you more control
    over the load targeting, progress reporting, and event
    notifications.
    All this said, to use a button and load a file in AS3, you
    need to add an event listener to the button instance and construct
    a responding function to the event, in this case the loading of a
    swf file. Additionally, in AS3 the MovieClipLoader class, as well
    as the loadMovie methods have been replaced by the Loader classes
    and must be used to load swf files. So construct a button in AS3
    you must write something like the following:

  • Setting timeout settings for Action Scripts

    We are using OIM 11gR1 along with the AD and Domino connectors. We are also using Action Scripts to perform some post create actions on the AD and Domino resources that get created by OIM. The action scripts are being invoked with the correct set of parameters and they do their job. However for both connectors, the connector server (Java connector server for Domino, .NET connector server for AD) times out when waiting for the script to complete. Our scripts are expected to take a long time (30+ seconds).
    Based on our testing, the AD connector times out in 30 seconds, and the Domino connector times out in 20 seconds. You would get the below exception in your Java Connector Server log file:
    Dec 4, 2013 2:36:41 PM org.identityconnectors.framework.api.operations.ScriptOnConnectorApiOp runScriptOnConnector
    FINE: Exception:
    java.lang.RuntimeException: Timeout waiting for action, process was terminated
        at org.identityconnectors.domino.WinJni._executeWinCommand(Native Method)
        at org.identityconnectors.domino.WinJni.executeWinCommand(WinJni.java:31)
        at org.identityconnectors.domino.ScriptOnConnector.executeCmdScript(ScriptOnConnector.java:143)
        at org.identityconnectors.domino.ScriptOnConnector.runScriptOnConnector(ScriptOnConnector.java:88)
        at org.identityconnectors.domino.DominoConnector.runScriptOnConnector(DominoConnector.java:316)
    Is there any way to configure OIM so that it waits longer for the action script to complete. The real problem over here is that if 2 users are being provisioned to AD and/or Domino simultaneously (we use access policies to trigger provisioning rules), then the connector (Java or .NET) does NOT invoke the action script for the second user if the action script for the first user times out. It does however create AD/Domino resources for all applicable users. This in itself is a defect - but I need a workaround.
    Looking at some old Sun Identity Manager documentation (which became Oracle Waveset), it seems that the entire OIM concept of action scripts has its origins in Sun Identity Manager/Oracle Waveset. And these products did support the notion of timeouts. Have a look at :
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19225-01/821-0092/bzbuc/index.html
    Does anyone familiar with Oracle OIM code know if custom timeouts are supported by AD and Domino connectors?

  • Dynamic Action On change tabular form question

    Hi guys!
    I've wanted to add dynamic action on change (tabular form) to execute PL/SQL which checks if column of the tabular form has changed and if yes it changes walue of text field to Y or N. It doesnt work...and I don't know why. If I create validation with this PL/SQL it works. Can you help?
    DA:
    On change - Tabular Form
    PL/SQL;
    DECLARE
       nazwa     VARCHAR2(4000);
       counter   NUMBER := 0;
    BEGIN
       FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f08.COUNT
       LOOP
        SELECT NAZWISKO INTO nazwa FROM SPR_META.M_UZYTKOWNICY WHERE NAZWA_UZYTKOWNIKA = apex_application.g_f02(i);
          IF wwv_flow_item.md5(nazwa) <>  wwv_flow_item.md5(apex_application.g_f08(i)) THEN
            counter := counter + 1;
          END IF;
       END LOOP;
       IF counter > 0 THEN
       :P5_IS_TABULAR_FORM_CHANGED := 'Y';
       ELSE
        :P5_IS_TABULAR_FORM_CHANGED := 'N';
      END IF;
    END;Page items to submit: P5_IS_TABULAR_FORM_CHANGE
    What's wrong?
    With regards,
    PsmakR

    Region static id shouldn be in bracketsYou missed the '#' informt of the region id.
    why my original PL/SQL process did not work
    FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f08.COUNTThis works only when the application array has values and that happens only when the page is submitted.When you submit the dynamic action , it isn't.
    This script combined with script to detect changes makes apex page running very slowIf you use that PLSQL code(assuming it works as expected) , then its going to take a server request every-time you change a field in the tabular form and loop though all the array values(if they would be submitted before) and recalculate and compare the checksums . Isn't that going to be very inefficient.
    As for that JS code, it only runs at the client side. You can do all the server side checks on submit, when the user expects some delay due to processing.

  • Acrobat 9 (or 9.1) -- Script changes prevent signing -- any workarounds?

    I was having problems understanding the behavior of my form until I came across the document at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/reader/articles/reader_compatibility/readercomp_digitalsignatu res.pdf .
    My use case, which is a little convoluted, so could probably be streamlined, is that my application server presents a PDF to the user in a browser for them to review / sign.
    In some cases, I was getting the message "The document could not be signed."  with no other explanation (unlike many other threads which cite more detailed messages with a similar feel).
    After reading the section of that doc titled "Script changes prevent signing", I understand why since my form was making script changes
    So, now that I understand the situation, I have some options to work around it but presently none are great.
    The issue in a nut shell:
    1. The form is delivered to the browser, so the notion of save/close/re-open/sign doesn't make sense
    2. A button is on the form, with form submit on MouseUp.  This is the part that causes problems ... the application server is generating the (same) MouseUp action for ANY button and, at this point, I don't have a way to prevent that.
    3. My "illegal" script change was a Page Open script that replaced the MouseUp action to what it "should" be.
    4. The problem button is one that I want MouseUp to fire a launchURL instead of a submit.
    The workarounds I've considered:
    1. Replace the button with a link or non-button fields that has the correct actions.  Workable but not a great UI metaphor.
    2. Putting the "right" action on the MouseDown.  Also workable, but since this doesn't actually prevent the MouseUp from firing, it creates confusing user experience if I there are problems that prevent form submission (and I am not clear if the launchURL in fact prevents the form submission or not).
    Are there any other workarounds?  Is there any wiggle room on the restriction about no script changes?  The script that changes the MouseUp action is defined in an application level javascript file, so I tried making it trusted but that did not seem to make a difference.  I feel like
    I have a similar, but less import case for a true submit button.  I want to also send email on form submission, but since I cannot the form submission on MouseUp, there is no way for me to only send mail when the form is submitted (i.e. all required fields filled in).  So, I am presently always sending the mail in MouseDown.

    It sounds to me like the same option. Perhaps it also applies to non-PostScript printers now. If the printer is capable of good colour management (many are not); and if the PDF is properly tagged with source profiles, no reason why results shouldn't be good.

  • Action Script to add MC as sub-pages ??

    Alright please help.. I have tried everything, been fooling
    around with this in the past 5 hours and its not going anywhere :(
    . Here is what i have. :
    I have 6 menu buttons... Button 4 is what i am concentrating
    on.
    at the moment here is the current action script of button 4 :
    --CODE---
    //-----this first few lines just controls the button
    animation --
    on (rollOver) {
    if (_root.link<>4) {
    gotoAndPlay("s1");
    on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
    if (_root.link<>4) {
    gotoAndPlay("s2");
    //-----end of button animation-----
    on (release) {
    _root.scroller.scroller.gotoAndStop(3); // I understand this
    calls for fram 3 in an mc within an mc.
    if (_root.anim==true) { // not really sure where this means
    if (_root.link<>4) { // if value of _root.link
    <> 4 then activate the following code
    _parent["but"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2"); // I kind of
    understand this part, i know it has to do with playing the button
    animation, but i am stuck where it says "but" + _root.link .
    _root.link = 4; // value of root.link
    _root.all.play();
    ok so basically, from what i can figure out what this action
    script does is : somehow it calls out a mc called "all action page"
    and the contents inside this mc are two layers. one layer is just a
    stop frame, and the other layer has multiple frames, each frame in
    the layer are each different mc's .. the _root.value is the value
    of each frame, for example if i change the value to 2 or 3 it will
    load frame 2 or 3 within the "all action page" mc..
    now my question, is is there any way i can replicate this
    script for the use of button 4 ?? i know i can just keep adding new
    frams and mc's to the current "all action page" and just keep
    changing the value that corresponds to the frame number, but i
    would like to make it more neater and structured incase if i need
    to change anything. any suggestions ??

  • XML Gallery won't work remotely - Action Script issues

    I created an XML scrolling thumbnail gallery using a
    tutorial
    found here
    I then had to alter the action script to get my thumbnails to
    display properly -- they were spaced out or overlapping each other
    and not in the sequence specified in the XML file. The new code
    works great locally, but the thumbnails and larger image refuse to
    load remotely in every browser i've tried. Any thoughts on how to
    alter the action script to load the gallery?!?! I'm not much

    Hi --
    I clicked on the link for your gallery and the images load??
    Both when I
    click on the image or when I click the "next" and "previous"
    buttons --
    although the "hit" area for the buttons is below the actual
    text so you
    should adjust that on those buttons. I would also recommend
    not making the
    text selectable so the cursor won't change to the "I bar"

  • Flash Newbie needs help with Movie Clips/Action Scripting

    Hi -
    I'm having a problem with my movie clips playing
    simultaneously and cannot, for the life of me, figure out what I
    have done wrong. I'm new to flash, so I may have set something up
    incorrectly, but here's what I have so far:
    11 layers, total: 1 layer with 10 control buttons, each
    button with the following actionscript:
    on (release) {
    gotoAndPlay(85);
    Where the number changes in relation to which keyframe the
    next movie is on.
    I have 10 movies, total, but they are only movie clips,
    essentially photo slide shows with audio, made all in the library.
    The problem happens when I click on the second or third
    button. Not only does the movie that I have selected begin to play,
    but all of the previous clips do as well, so it all sounds quite
    garbled. I don't know what I am missing in the action script, as my
    Action Layer has a stop command on it at each keyframe where there
    is a new clip to play.
    I have tried to add a stopAllSounds command, but I'm afraid
    that doesn't do anything because it is not a "sound file" per se,
    playing in the timeline.
    I'm at the end of my rope and really need some help in
    figuring this one out. My project is hanging in the balance on
    this, as I have scripted everything else correctly and it runs
    beautifully.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Caroline

    Each layer has a blank keyframe before and after each
    movieclip. Each movie clip is at a different frame. Even with the
    blank keyframes added, the second video starts to play and then the
    first video begins to play. Same happens if I click on the third
    button. Third plays, and starts 1st and 2nd shortly thereafter. Is
    there an action script I can put in that will tell the timeline
    that, when a button is clicked, no matter where the movieclip is,
    it will stop and start the newly selected movieclip?

  • How to load data with carriage return through DRM action script ?

    Hello,
    We are using DRM to manage Essbase metadata. These metadata contain a field for member formula.
    Currently it's a string data type property in DRM so we can't use carriage return and our formula are really hard to read.

  • Newbie here, with button action script issue

    I have just started to scrach the surface with actionscript
    and I have attempted to assign it to buttons. Much to my supprise,
    it worked, sort of... All my buttons require a double click the
    first time you click on them. I was able to put
    this together, by
    using the following action script for all my buttons:
    on (release) {
    ybutton.onRelease = function() {
    gotoAndStop(28);
    So I have 2 questions. What actionscript will give me the
    single click that I am looking for? Also, is there any shortcut to
    making a broad change? In other words, will have to switch out the
    code for every button on 37 frames?
    Thank you

    1: // You needed two clicks because you have 2 onRelease.
    on (release) {
    gotoAndStop(28);
    2: Yes, it'll go fast I would copy the above and paste where
    needed then just change the frame #.
