IE7 fade effect makes fonts ugly

EDIT: well i pulled a real jerk move, turns out this has been
addressed, alot.
Put a background color on your div and or set the font styles
to the bold text.
thx :)

I have found a workaround, the problem may be in the freetype version, I have downloaded freetype2 from a 0.7 archlinux repo:
ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr … pkg.tar.gz
Instead of installing, you can uncompress the package an copy the file libfreetype.so.6.3.6 to /opt/openoffice/program/libfreetype.so.6
This will make oo use that library instead of the systems one
It's weird, why all apps except oo work with the latest version?

Fade effect makes LiveCycle unusable

The last thread on this seems to have died so I am re-posting. I really need to find a solution for this as I would very much love to use the software I purchased.
When designing a form - starting with a brand new form, empty page - every element that I drag onto the page gradually fades into view, taking about 5 seconds from the time when I drop the element onto the page to the time it is actually in place and ready to be modified.
It does not matter which element I drop in, every one of them does this. It makes the program so slow that it is unusable.
Is there a way to turn off this visual effect somewhere? I don't need it and it really causes a problem with the base function of the application.

I don't see an issue. I'm running a slightly older version, but I have to believe that if this was a version issue Adobe would have heard about it from more people. Are you running on a laptop or desktop? All I can think of is for you to check your video card settings, and maybe play with some of the settings for h/w acceleration and effects. Maybe there's some wierd driver thing going on.

Tooltip Fade Effect in IE7 Not Working

I'm hoping someone has a fix for this ...
When using IE7, the first time you mouse over a
tooltip—everything works fine.
But if you mouse over it again, the Fade Effect no longer
works. Is there a way to fix this clitch??

Does anyone know when a next version of Spry is going to be
released. I can't seem to fix this problem and I'm hoping that it's
fixed in the next version.
When using IE7, the first time you mouse over a

When I use spry fade effect I get crisp font.

My page looks like this before fade effect. The letters are smooth.
After fade effect. I get this crisp letters.
Why ??
Thanks in advance.
And sorry about my poor english.

Thanks for your help and time.
I wrote the "background-color:#FFF;" css for the object and didn't work.
So I wrote the same css for the parent object and works perfectly.
Thanks again.

Fade effect question

I can implement a fade in effect with a single image, but I
cannot get the same code to work with the arrayed images generated
in the "photoDemo" tutorial on the Adobe site. Sho Kuwamoto has a
fade in working in his tutorial (
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flexbuilder2/tutorials/#)
though with different syntax (that I can't make work either), so I
know the array isn't the issue. Why does this work in one, but not
the other, example?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using the FB3
Beta for the moment.
Thanks in advance.
1) In this example, the fade out works fine ...
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
<mx:Fade id="fadeOut" duration="1000" alphaFrom="1.0"
alphaTo="0.0"/>

alphaTo="1.0"/>
<mx:Panel title="Fade Effect Example" width="95%"
height="95%"
paddingTop="5" paddingLeft="10" paddingRight="10"
paddingBottom="5">
<mx:Text width="100%" color="blue"
text="Use the Fade effect to show or hide the text and
image. Use an embedded font when applying the Fade effect to
text."/>
<mx:Image source="photo.png"
visible="{cb1.selected}"
hideEffect="{fadeOut}" showEffect="{fadeIn}"/>
<mx:CheckBox id="cb1" label="visible"
selected="true"/>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
2) In the itemRenderer ("thumbnails" here) of the "photoDemo"
tutorial on the Adobe site (
http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/Flex/1b.+Code+Files),
it does not. It compiles and runs, but seems to ignore the effect
call. Why?
"thumbnails" ...

alphaTo="1.0"/>
<mx:Image source="{data.thumbnail.url}"
showEffect="{fadeIn}" />

I've never used this effect. Maybe if you preload the image(s)...
Go to Behaviors panel.
Click the plus sign (+).
From the drop menu, select Preload Images.

Fade effect bold text in all IEs

I have created the following page
Cnet about
and used the spry fade effect on the section of text at the bottom
below the "A Sampling of what we offer" graphic.
It works fine but in IE6 and IE7 when viewed on an LCD
monitor, the bold blue text looks very choppy. I assume this has to
do with bad handling of opacity in IE. Does anyone know a hack to
fix this?

Hi artdoggy,
That is an IE bug with several workarounds. The first
workaround which is much simpler, is to specify a background color
or font on the element that you are fading in. This somehow
triggers IE to avoid this behavior.
The other workaround is to use an effect onPostEffect
observer or finish function to unset the filter function on the
element. You can see sample of how to use an observer here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/effects/observers_sample.html
You'll have to do something like this in your observer:
effect.element.style.filter = "";

Fade Effect working weird.

My little app is driven by a TabNavigator with each tab
showing a different "page" with DataGrids/Form/TabNavs etc. I am
trying to fade from "page" to "page" and all looks fine except Text
types on the "page". They don't fade, just abruptly disappear once
the fadeOut alpha reaches some number. Am I missing something? All
help is appreciated.

Or, if you can get direct access to the text objects, you can
set the
blendMode of the text to "layer", and then Fade effects will
work on them
properly.

Fade Effect

I have a code on my buttons, which makes a blank image
currently on stage get replaced with a different one when a button
is rolled over.
The code I am using is this:
on mouseenter me
sprite(3).member="a"
on mouseleave me
sprite(3).member="blank"
end
Very simple lingo. Is there a way that when the new image
comes to view, it fades in when the mouse rolls over the button,
instead of just popping in, and fade out once the mouse leaves the
button, so that I end up with a smooth transition.
Thank you.

Guys:
Thanks for taking your time to help me with the issue.
I actually got an answer from another member that solved my
problem. The code that was posted here was making the button sprite
do the fade effect.
My friend did some tweaking to that code to achieve what I
needed.
Here is the code:
property fadeSprite
property totalSteps
property eachStep
property animateMe
on getPropertyDescriptionList
myPropList = [:]
myPropList.addProp(#totalSteps,[#comment:"select the number
of steps for the
fade:",#format:#integer,#range:[#min:5,#max:20],#default:10])
myPropList.addProp(#fadeSprite,[#comment:"enter the sprite
to fade:",#format:#integer,#default:1])
return myPropList
end
on beginSprite me
sprite(fadeSprite).blend = 0
animateMe = true
eachStep = 100/totalSteps
end
on mouseEnter me
animateMe = false
end
on mouseLeave me
animateMe = true
end
on enterFrame me
if animateMe then
if sprite(fadeSprite).blend > 0 then
sprite(fadeSprite).blend = sprite(fadeSprite).blend -
eachStep
end if
else
if sprite(fadeSprite).blend < 100 then
sprite(fadeSprite).blend = sprite(fadeSprite).blend +
eachStep
end if
end if
end
With this one, I am able to select which sprite is fading in
and out. Again, thanks for your help.

Fade Effect transparency IE/Firefox

Hi,
I am using the Spry:Fade effect with the image to be faded
constructed in Fireworks. The image has a transparent background
and a rectangle with a feathered edge effect.
The fade works well using Firefox however in Internet
Explorer a substantial part of the feathered edge effect turns
black. This occurs whether the image is either a gif or a png
format.
Any suggestions on what causes this and a fix/workaround.
Thanks,

Fade effect: how to do with "onEnterFrame"?

Hi,
I have a map with each city represented as a dot (MC). When
you mouse over the dot, another MC with more city details/text
quickly fades in, and fades out when you roll out. But I can't get
the full fade effect working. Need your advice...
In the dot MC, I put:
on (rollOver) {
_root.showCity();
on (rollOut) {
_root.hideCity();
In the root, showCity() and hideCity() are functions to fade
in and out the city details MC (city_sanfrancisco). I figured they
should be at the root level so they can be used by other city dots
(city_sandiego, city_boston, etc.) as well:
//this lets me change the speed for fading in and another
speed for fading out
var speedIn;
speedIn = 20;
var speedOut;
speedOut = 20;
//hard-coded city for now; set city to invisible when movie
starts
var city = city_sanfrancisco;
city._alpha = 0;
//this shows the city details by fading in
function showCity(){
city._alpha += _root.speedIn;
if (city._alpha > 100){
city._alpha = 100;
function hideCity(){
city._alpha -= _root.speedOut;
if (city._alpha < 0){
city._alpha = 0;
What this doesn't do is the full fade effect, because the
function only executes once, so city._alpha doesn't reach 100 when
it fades in. I've seen in other fade effect scripts, that they use
the enterFrame event, but I don't now how to use it here... or what
is the right syntax to make the city details MC fade in to 100% on
rollOver, and fade out to 0 on rollOut... and still be able to
apply a speed setting.
Any help would be appreciated.

you could try something like this:
on(rollOver){
onEnterFrame = showCity;
then modify your showCity function slightly:
function showCity(){
city._alpha += _root.speedIn;
if (city._alpha > 100){
city._alpha = 100;
delete onEnterFrame;
.. with similar adjustments to you on rollOut code.
Hope this helps,
Sinead.

Fade Effect Issue with table structure

I have an existing HTML page with a table framework that uses
CSS divs in some of the table rows. My SPRY data is currently
wrapped in DIV tags within the table. I've discovered that the
table is screwing up the fade effect in IE7. Is there any way I can
get around this without removing the table and recoding the whole
page in CSS? FYI...I using version 1.4. I'm not sure if 1.5 will
fix this issue.

Essentially the fade in fade out effect isn't working at all
in IE. It's setup as a slideshow and uses the fade effect as a
transition between the spry data. The slideshow works fine just
without the fade effect. Everything works perfectly in Firefox
though. I know this code will work as we have used it before, the
only thing different is that I have my DIV with the SPRY content
wrapped within a table cell and row. I've read that the TR tag
cannot be used, but it's not exactly using the TR as an ID. Once I
comment out the table, tr, and td tags, the effect works no problem
so I know it is the table. I can't give you the URL because it's on
our local network.

Opening a popup window with fade effect

Hi,
I have a scenario where I want to open a pop up title window with some nice effect.
Can you please suggest how do I achieve it?
I have a repeater that repeats set of Text UI comps and I want to show a pop up window on MouseOver or MouseClick of each of these Text UI comps.
Please help.
Thank you,
Amey

if you want to open an title Window with a smooth fade effect there are more than one possible ways.
1. Declare Fade Effect
     <s:Fade id="windowFade" target="{_titleWindow}" alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="1.0" />
2. Execute the fade effect on openening
     2.1 start the effect after the PopUpManager.addPopUp
     PopUpManager.addPopUp(_titleWindow, this);
     windowFade.play();
     2.2 start the effect on added-Event
     protected function titlewindow1_addedHandler(event:Event):void
          windowFade.play();
3. Make sure the effect is stopped before you start the animation with windowFade.stop()

Tabbed Panel with Fade Effect

Open my site, dg-ad.com, and the tabbed panel drop down menu has the first level visible. Click on a menu item and the second level becomes visible. The second level has a Spry fade effect so it fades into view nicely. The class .TabbedPanelContent sets the visibilty of the second layer hidden, and there is no distracting flicker, good so far.
Besides clicking on menu item I often send clients a link with a string query which lands them on my site with the tabbed panel open to what I want them to see initially., I use a string query in the URL per Dave Powers technique often refered to in this forum titled'Spry: Opening Specific Tabs and Panels from Another Page".
Because the visibility is set to hidden in the CSS the second level of the tabbed panel is still invisible, So I am looking for suggestions that may involve scripting the style or playing with the CSS to overide the CSS and make the second level visible when users arrive via the query string method.
Thanks for taking a look!

For Spry 1.0 widgets, each widget had one core file. Each of them had common things like addClassName(), removeClassname(), along with a bunch of basic functionality. So that adds up to a lot of redundant code.
This way, all that common stuff is kept in a single file. That means that each widget base class just has what it needs to glue everything together.
Many widgets are 'panel' based: accordions, tabbed panels, slideshows. So handling those panels is done via the PanelSet and PanelSelector files.
You will find SpryTabbedPanels2.js much smaller than the first version.
By components, for instance: SpryFadingPanels.js is only needed if you want to fade between panels. If you don't want that effect, you don't need to use it. WIth components and plugins, you or anyone else can write a different transition and make that available to all your Spry UI widgets.
I don't like all the includes either but it's the right way to go with what we are doing.
Thanks,
Don

Appear/fade effect problems

I'm working on a portfolio website: www.carolinedelson.com
The index page image appears how i want it to, but when you click s/s 2013 and click one of the gifs, the images flash on the screen then display the effect. i don't know how to change this to a smooth fade in. I also work in the display mode of dreamweaver cs6 a lot more than directly with the code, so any simple fixes would be really appreciated!

David - I'm sure it's in a book somewhere - but I can't find

Can you add a second or even third so that in addition you

Transition fade effect does not show at beginning

I'm using TabNavigator and added fade transition between the
tabs.
I can not see the transition effect on the first tab of
TabNavigator when page shows up at very first time.
The transition effect does show up when I change tabs from
one to other. I understand that when accessing
the page at very first time, there is no transition. But I
still want to see the fade effect on the pictures.
Is there a way to make the fade effect showing when the page
is displayed at very first time?

You could do that as well, but if have your component's
visibility=false in mxml, you'll have to change it to true every
time you want to actually see/edit it using the FB design mode. So
unless you never use that, it makes sense to just do what Amy
mentioned before or a variation. You could probably also set the
visibility to false, and then immediately set it to true in a
creationComplete event handler, but that's just getting
silly.
