Fade a move clip as it leaves the scene

Hi I’m not sure if this is possible so if someone could
let me know and if it is give me some pointers i would be extremely
grateful.
Basically i have a move clip that scrolls of either side of
the scene, one side is ok but the other doesn't look very good
because of the hard line that the images finish on in the middle of
the web page. I want to fade out the move clip starting 30px or so
from the end of the scene to make it look nicer. The movie clip
will always be inside the scene therefore only the part that is
scrolled off needs to be faded. Hope that’s clear, i can fade
a move clip out but don't know how to or if its possible to fade
part of one starting at a specific x point.
Any ideas appreciated
Cheers

If I understand correctly then u can use a gradient to do
this.
Create a shape and select it.
In the colormixer change solid into linear.
then select one of the buckets (make sure there both the same
color)
and set the alpha to 0.

  • Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

    Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

    code on the last frame of your movieclip instance:
    _root.gotoAndStop('whatever_frame');  // will work unless this swf is loaded into another swf.  in that situation, you should use a relative path to the main timeline (eg,  _parent or _parent._parent etc).

  • Remove Child and Event.SOUND_COMPLETE not working inside movie clip. What's the problem?

    I have a movie clip that is called to the stage. The user then clicks a button and music plays. As the music starts, another movie clip is called, a simulation of  an equilizer. There are several things that should happen:
    1) When the user closes the movie clip the music is supposed to stop playing and the equilizer movie clip is removed. What actually happens is the music stops playing but  the equilzer movie clip is not removed.
    2) When the music is finished playing the equilzer is supposed to be removed from the stage and the play button is reactivated. But none of that happens. When I click on the movie clip a second time equilizer is still there and the play button is not reactivated.
    Here's the code that calls the movie clip to the stage.
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goButtons);
    function goButtons(event:MouseEvent):void
        if (event.target == Song_bnt)
            SoundMixer.stopAll();
            addChild(myPlaySong);
            myPlaySong.x = 304;
            myPlaySong.y = 105;
            //event.stopImmediatePropagation();
    Here's the code in the movie clip:
    import flash.media.Sound;
    import flash.events.Event;
    stop();
    var playRayJaySong:RJSong;
    var playRayJaySongChannel:SoundChannel;
    var equilizer:Equilizer;
    equilizer = new Equilizer();
    playRayJaySong = new RJSong();
    //Plays music, inactivates buttons, and adds the equilizer to the stage.
    PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
    function songPageButton(event:Event):void
        playRayJaySongChannel = playRayJaySong.play();
        PlaySongRJClip.visible = false;
        ClicktoPlaySong.visible = false;
        addChild(equilizer);
        equilizer.x = 269;
        equilizer.y = 246;
    //Removes the equilizer from the stage when the music is complete.
    PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
        function rjSoundComplete(e:Event):void
        PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
        ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
        removeChild(equilizer);
    //Removes the equilizer and event listeners from stage and calls dispatch event to close the movie clip.
    closeSong_bnt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, CloseSong);
    function CloseSong(event:MouseEvent):void
        removeChild(equilizer);
        dispatchEvent(new Event("RemoveMSong"));
        PlaySongRJClip.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
        PlaySongRJClip.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
    //Removes the MovieClip from the stage when the user clicks on the close button inside the MovieClip.
    myPlaySong.addEventListener("RemoveMSong", RemoveSongClip);
    function RemoveSongClip(e:Event):void
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
        removeChild(myPlaySong);
    Any thoughts?

    I figured out the problem. Here's how I reorganized the code (all in one frame).
    //Code for Ray Jay song.
    var playRayJaySong:RJSong;
    var playRayJaySongChannel:SoundChannel;
    playRayJaySong = new RJSong();
    myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
    //Plays the song.
    myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, songPageButton);
    function songPageButton(event:Event):void
        playRayJaySongChannel = playRayJaySong.play();
        playRayJaySongChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
        myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = true;
        myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = false;
        myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = false;
    //Removes the MovieClip from the stage when the user clicks on the close button inside the MovieClip.
    myPlaySong.closeSong_bnt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,RemoveSongClip);
    function RemoveSongClip(e:Event):void
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
        removeChild(myPlaySong);
        myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
        myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
        myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
        playRayJaySongChannel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, rjSoundComplete);
    //Resets all of the movieclips to their orginal state.
    function rjSoundComplete(e:Event):void
        myPlaySong.equilizer_inst.visible = false;
        myPlaySong.PlaySongRJClip.visible = true;
        myPlaySong.ClicktoPlaySong.visible = true;
    Thanks all for your suggests and input.

  • Shipment of external archive inside of movie clip, is outside of the place

    Também não sei se entendi direito o problema que você está tendo. Dentro do seu arquivo conforto.swf você só tem aquele traço branco ou todo o quadro cinza? Já tentou "brincar" com as propriedades .x e .y do seu movieClip?

  • Can I include movie clips be played in the LR4's Slideshow module?

    Hi,  I'am just starting to learn about LR's SlideShow module. I recently returned from a vacation in eastern Europe and want to create a slideshow of my best pictures and short movie clips. The slideshow is mostly still photography, but I also want to play a few of the clips shot in movie mode and play these clips inside the slideshow.  Is this possible in LR4's Slideshow module?

    No, unfortunately that is not possible in this version.
    Other people have felt the same need though: you can support this by adding your vote in the feature request forum

  • Remove or fade current movie clip as3

    i have a movie clip called iconinterface_mc and inside of that movie clip i have another movieclip called smsinter_mc iv created a button inside smsinter_mc and i want the button to bring the user back to the iconinterface_mc any suggestions??

    when i used this code for button it got me back to the inconinterface_mc but the button which brought me to the smsinter was no longer working/recognised as a button.

  • How do I View Guides for Movie Clips in Relation to Entire Scene?

    My boss purchased a flash animation from a company a few months ago that she now needs me to fix. The goal is to resize the animation to different dimensions for a new banner. I took the original file, brought up the document settings, and changed the size to the new one we need, and hit the "scale content" checkbox. The file I have after doing this is shown below; I have highlighted the shape I will be talking about in pink. Nothing is the correct size now so I am trying to resize them to fit the stage area. I am having trouble with the green shape that is highlighted Pink.
    The person who originally made this file made that highlighted shape into a movie clip and then dropped it in to the main timeline. I was wondering if there was a way that I could see where that shape is in relation to the area of the entire stage and the other objects in the main timeline? Meaning if I am inside of the greenblock movie clip all I see is what is below:
    With this view I cannot tell where that shape is in relation to everything else. I am hoping someone can tell me how to view the guides from my main file inside of this movie clip( I already have guides turned on), or any other way of seeing what size and where my shape is in relation to rest of the objects on the stage of my main file. I would take any option that would let me tweak the green shape inside of the movie clip and see in real time how it looks in relation to the rest of the items on the stage as I make changes.
    Any suggestions on how to get perspective on where my movie clip is in relation to the stage and other objects on it would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Tissal

    Somehow double clicking on your system seems to be connected to the command
    fl.getDocumentDOM().enterEditMode('');//the view where you don`t see the rest of your stage
    whereas normally it defaults to
    fl.getDocumentDOM().enterEditMode('inPlace'); //the view where you can see everything els on stge alphablended
    you can either create a shortcut to
    edit>edit in place or alter the standard behaviour of your double click
    or right click(Windows) or ctrl-click(MAc) the mc and choose Edit in Place

  • Buttons in movie clip won't bring up scenes

    I've created a movie clip within my main scene.
    I have 6 buttons in that clip. I would like these buttons to
    call up the appropriate scenes but it isn't. I don't know whether I
    cannot have buttons in movie clips call up new scenes or if my
    actions script is simply wrong.
    Here are some of the actions I've tried to upload the scene
    or swf files:
    thanks.
    on (release) {
    _root.gotoAndPlay("instance name");
    ----Also, named 1st frame of scenes with matching instance.
    on (release) {
    _root.gotoAndPlay("scene name");
    on (release) {
    gotoAndPlay("scenename",1);
    on (release){
    uploadMovie ("name.swf",1);
    }

    use frame labels only and use the goto methods (like your
    first 2 goto statements) and not the goto functions (like your last
    2 goto statements).
    also, there is no uploadMovie() method in actionscript. use
    loadMovieNum() if you want to load name.swf into _level1.

  • How do I navigate from a movie clip back to a scene?

    I am just starting with Flash. I am creating my own website
    within a single scene built up of movie clips. Within Scene1,
    frame1, I have a movie clip that is the animated introduction to my
    site. i have attempted to add a gotoAndStop command to the last
    frame within the movie clip in order for the scene to proceed to
    frame2.
    gotoAndStop("Scene1",2);
    Can anyone explain why this does not work?

    Give a frame some label name and use
    gotoAndStop("labelNameHere");
    Do not use scene names. Just labels...

  • Stop movie clip

    I found some code on the web for confetti. The actual Movie
    clip is just one small dot. in the Scene you place action script to
    create the confetti effect. But you don't move the movie clip (dot)
    itself into the Scene.
    I can't figure out how to stop it at a certain point when I
    no longer want it. I've tried various combinations of stop();
    gotoAndStop(target or frame #). I've tried putting it in the
    actionscript that creates the confetti effect, in the moviie clip
    timeline and alone in the main tiimeline.
    nothing is working.
    any help would be appreciated. thank you.

    Thank you but that didn't work either. Below is the code. On
    the sample I found, it included only this code in the Timeline on a
    layer called actions, and the moveclip in the library; the movie
    clip is not in the timeline. and it works. it just doesn't stop.

  • Reaching a movie on the stage from inside another movie clip

    I'm trying to reach a body of text which i turned into a movie clip which is on the main stage, and have it scroll up/down whenever it rolls over the designated hot spots. Here's what i have.
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,down1,false,0,true);
    function down1(e:MouseEvent):void {
         if (mouseX>=0 && mouseX<=42 && mouseY>111.1 && mouseY<146.1) {
              stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,scrolldown1);
         } else {
              stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrolldown1);
    function scrolldown1(e:Event):void {
         if(MovieClip(this.root).resume_txt.y > 219) {
              MovieClip(this.root).resume_txt.y += 5;
         } else {
              this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrolldown1);

    Can you explain the purpose bhind these lines...
         if(MovieClip(this.root).resume_txt.y > 219) {
              MovieClip(this.root).resume_txt.y += 5;
    It seems as though if it is >219, it will move until the mouse moves out of the region.  Is there any specific aspect of it that you can pinpoint as not woking?.

    Hello guys
    I have a project in my Final Cut just about done.  I want to add my slideshow as part ofthe project and burn it to DVD.  Inmy slideshow, there are some stills from the movie clips and some downloadedfrom the internet but they all look blur when playback and even worse if Iapply Ken Burn to it.   Pleasesome one can tell my how to do it right or it can’t be done because thedownload quality and stills from the clip are not suitable or slideshow.  Thank you
    PSC

    Thank you Ross.
    The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto.  The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT,  the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not.  The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not.  I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536.  Please enlightenme.  Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.

  • In actionscript 3.0 how do i make a nested movie clip button go to a frame on the main timeline

    I am making a website based in flash actionscript 3.0 i have a button nested in its own movie clip, because I have the button expanding to be able to read it i have figured out the only way to do this is by creating it as a movie clipa nd inside the movie clip creating it as a button
    I added an event listener to the blog button by saying,
    blog.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,gotoblog);
    function gotoblog(evtobj:MouseEvent){
         gotoAndStop(2)
    this part of the code works it goes to the 2nd frame of the timeline it is in and stops wich is a blown up version of the origanal symbol
    i added on frame 2 a second command
    blog.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK.gotoblogpage);
    function gotoblogpage(evtobj:MouseEvent){
    gotoAndStop("blogframe")
    trace("the blog button was clicked")
    i have named the symbol blog and have name the frame of where the blog page is going to be "blogframe" this line of code at the bottom is where i run into trouble the output window in Flash is saying "The blog button was clicked" just like i want it to. no errors are accouring why than is the playhead not going to frame "blogframe"? if the button is working when i click it the code is right i belive the problem here is it does not want the playhead to go to the frame i want it to. So i gues my question is, how can i make a button withing a movie clip interact with the main timeline?

    I have a similar problem if could please help me i'd really apreciate it!!
    So i have a looping animation of some thumbnails, the hierarchy goes like this
    Scene1(main timeline) -> imgBar(MC)->imgBarB(MC within the imgBar MC)
    My buttons symbols are in the last MC "imgBarB" where i have this code:
    ss1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OneButtonClicked);
      function OneButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void{
      MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop("ssbox1");
    I want to control the Btns in my "imgBarB" MC to play a labeled frame(named "ssbox1") on another MC on the main timeline,this other MC goes like this:
    Scene1(main timeline)->ssbox_mc(MC where my labeled frame is)
