Making a fade effect on dreamweaver

okay, what i want to do is make a fade effect on the pictures
that i have. what i have in the website are 4 pictures, positioned
like this:
|................| |................|
|......1........| |.....3.........|
|_______| |_______|
|................| |...............|
|......2........| |.......4.......|
|_______| |_______|
each number indicates another picture, plz pardon my crappy
cyber drawing. i want the pictures to fade slowly, starting with 1
and ending with 4. So like this: (image 1 appears) (then image 2
appears) (then image 3 appears) (finally image 4 appears), you get
the idea.
I know that there is a fade effect under dreamweaver behavers
but that effect isn't what im looking for because u cannot set the
duration of the fade, nor the time of it.
i also tried making .gif animation fade effects in fireworks,
but i dislike that because it takes too much space, increasing my
picture by almost 100 kb.

Version 1.3 - June 7, 2004?
I wouldn't use that - I'd use jQuery instead. But as far as I
know there
would be no way to program consecutive fades as originally
requested.

Stuttering Fade Effect

You can see what I am working on here:
http://www.slimscents.com/newsite/
(under development).
What happens is this... Rolling over a div creates a fade
effect on a target div, and it works. However (especially on IE 7)
rolling over another div whilst the fade effect is ongoing, creates
an odd "stuttering" of the effect.
Help appreciated. I will be testing making the fade effect
global, but not sure if there is a way of identifying or testing if
the effect is is finished.
Code Below:
function UpdateInfo(infoType) {
var destObj=document.getElementById("infoBox");
//fadeIt.stop();
destObj.style.visibility="hidden";
destObj.style.textAlign="justify";
destObj.style.fontFamily="Arial";
var fadeIt = new Spry.Effect.Fade(destObj,{duration:
2000,from: 0, to: 100,toggle: false});
var inTxt="";
switch (infoType) {
case "whatIs":
inTxt="<iframe height='100%' name='info' width='100%'
src='sitedata/whatis.html'></iframe>";
break;
case "howDoes":
inTxt="<iframe height='100%' name='info' width='100%'
src='sitedata/howdoes.html'></iframe>";
//alert('how does');
break;
}// end switch
destObj.innerHTML=inTxt;
fadeIt.start();
}

Override JPanel's paintComponent() method. Call super and then fill the panel with desired color. The color must have proper alpha to change transparency. Add a timer to call repaint() e.g. 10 times changing the alpha from transparent to opaque.

How to create this fade effect

I'm trying to create this fade effect in Dreamweaver 2004 and
would appreciate any assistance.
http://smallbusiness.smh.com.au/
It's the blue and light orange fade half-box surrounding the
"Management or Sales & Marketing or Show me information on:"
sections in the middle of the page.
Regards,
James.

Hi
can be done in Fireworks, photoshop or xara.
Simply load up the software and create a simple rectangle.
Select you fill
bucket and search for an option "gradient fill". Select the
linear option
and have a play with colours. I would suggest it's a blue to
transparent
gradient. Then you create a text layer and export the result
as a gif (as
it's a simple graphic).
Take the exported graphic and place on your page using your
chosen method.
If you need a walk through I'd suggest going to the Fireworks
forum where
you'll get all the help you want or

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.

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
it.
I already have the Modify Template Make Attribute Editable
<body id="default" >
use this to apply css to specific pages
Can you add a second or even third so that in addition you
can use
onload javascripts.
I've rather fought shy of Javascript - preferring to use php,
but I
now think that was a mistake - and just use JS to provide
extra
features whilst allowing for people that have it disabled
Or maybe I should just ditch Templates altogether and use

[CS3] Flash buttons with fade effects.

Well as the title says, i've got some buttons in Flash CS3,
using AS 2 which when clicked changes the frame. The thing is that
i want to add a fade effect to the text area AFTER the button was
pressed. So for example:
The user is reading the text, he presses one of the buttons
(all of which change frames, in this case text) and the text fades
away and the new text fades in.
Well, i've designed the frames needed for this, so i've got
10 frames before the frame the user will see for it to fade in and
10 frames after it to fade out. What i havent figured out yet is
how i'll make the script do that. I mean, i can make the script go
forward one frame, starting the fade out effect, i can make it go
to the frame i want but how will i do both.
I've got 6 buttons and 6 corresponding texts.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
P.S.: Any ideas welcome. I can change the frame layout.
P.S.S.: Also forgot to mention that making layers for every
combination is out of question....

I've already had them placed each on their layer. I thought i
might need mobility on the timeline.
Let me see how much of this i understand...
quote:
which im assuming are MovieClip instances
They're graphics but i can simply change them to be movie
clips if it's the case.
quote:
do the same with your buttons on a seperate layer but you
will only need one for them all
I've lost you here....you're saying ill only need one AS
reference?
quote:
for(var i=0; i<btns.length; i++) {
Hmm... you're using the size of the array to set how many
times the loop control will actually loop? Took me a bit to figure
out what length an array could have
quote:
new Tween(current, '_alpha', Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 10,
false);
new Tween(clips[this.id], '_alpha', Strong.easeOut, 0, 100,
10, false);
current = clips[this.id];
//start the first clip transition 'in'
current = clips[0];
new Tween(clips[0], '_alpha', Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 10,
false);
Ok i didnt get most of this but i'll have to check out the
parameters for the Tween function.
Actually i plan on going from a 50% alpha to a 100%, but
that's just my choice.
Thanks a lot and hope i dont become too annoying.
P.S. I had a huge revelation at the end when i re-read the
code and finally understood how this is going to work.

Image rotation with fade effect

I am new to the spry framework and have just started going
through the examples to see if I could create an image rotator that
fades the images into each other when changing. I have taken
snippets from different places to do this and think I have the
answer but really wanted some feedback to sanity check and let me
know if this is the best way of doing it. If it is, then I hope
others will find it useful.
Here is the url to the example:

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"/>
<mx:Fade id="fadeIn" duration="1000" alphaFrom="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" ...

<mx:Image source="{data.thumbnail.url}"

</mx:VBox>

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 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 problem in IE

hi everyone,
I'm having problems with a fade out/in transition in IE8. The area I am changing has a white background (actually there are a few nested divs that all have a white background), and the fade effect triggers on a click in the navigation area and fades everything into the body background color (dark brown) and back. The effect works fine in firefox and safari. Anyone know how to fix this problem? I want the content that is fading to maintain the white background and not fade to brown and back. you can view the page here to see whats going on.
http://www.prometheusbusiness.com/testarea/NoelRose/home.html
also, (and this is a really small issue, so I'm not too concerned if I can't fix it) after the page loads, the first fade out transition doesnt seem to fire, it just disappears, and the new page fades in. after the first time, everything works as I expect, but it would be great if every click worked exactly the same every time.
any help is appreciated, thanks.

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 after inactivity in ADF 11.1.1.6 application

Hello everyone,
after a period of inactivity (about 10-15 minutes) in my ADF application (v. 11.1.1.6) the page is shown in semi-transparency mode with a little icon of warning on the bottom of the page. This fade effect disappears after a mouse move.
How can we disable this behaviour?
Please note that this effect is related only on the af:table component.
Thanks in advance,
Baduel

Here the testcase: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3932597/TestFade.rar
After some test I notice that this kind of issue happens if there is an af:poll in the page. Is it possible that is raleted to the new property (timeout)? http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/docs/tagdoc/af_poll.html
For the test case. Use HR schema, run index.jspx and click on Section tab (or also Section box). Wait about 15 minutes (with no page interaction) and the glass pane will appear with the warning icon on the bottom of the page.
Thanks everyone.
Baduel

Fade Effect Query

I am looking for assistance with the spry fade effect. i have
a number of divs all with the same class currently being output via
coldfusion on the page.
the plan is that when i mouse over one div, all the other
divs with the same class fade down slightly so the focused div
stands out. the class for the divs is called "box1" for example and
there are 15-17 "boxes" per page. Im fairly sure i have seen this
effect somewhere just cant seem to find it.
can anyone help out with this or point me in the direction of
someone you can? i appreciate spry may not be the best way to
tackle this so any suggestions or advice relating to other libaries
would be great too. (currently using jquery elsewhere in the site)
any assistance will be greatly appreciated,
Cheers, Sean

I'm guessing those boxes are the only one with that
className.
So the best and ideal solution would be to include
SpryDOMUtils.js (is included in the labs download package folder
"includes")
Add it to your page.
And do a little change to that File. We are going to extent
the base funtionality of the results so we can apply fade to each
of those elements.
At the bottom of your SpryDOMUtils.js add this:
Spry.$$.Results.fade = function(from,to)
return this.forEach(function(n) {
Spry.Effect.DoFade(n,{from:from, to:
to});});
Now you can do in your js
Spry.$$('.box1').fade(100,60);
And it should fade all boxes with the classname .box1 to 60%
O wait. you wanted it on mouse over.. Still include the
SpryDOMUtils.js
but now do:
Spry.$$('.box1').addEventListener('mouseover',function(){Spry.Effect.DoFade(this,{from:100 ,
to:
60});})

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.
