Making transitions respond to onclick

Ive managed the simple hover transition
<style>
#trans {
opacity:100;
transition: all 1st ease-in-out;
#trans:hover {
opacity:0;
</style>
but i would like to make it clickable instead of hover. The only example i found that illustrates clickable transitions is (http://css3.bradshawenterprises.com):
<div id="cf2" class="shadow">
     <img class="bottom" src="/tests/images/Stones.jpg" />
     <img class="top" src="/tests/images/Summit.jpg" />
</div>
<p id="cf_onclick">Click me to toggle</p>
#cf2 {
     position:relative;
     height:281px;
     width:450px;
     margin:0 auto;
#cf2 img {
     position:absolute;
     left:0;
     -webkit-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
     -moz-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
     -o-transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
     transition: opacity 1s ease-in-out;
#cf2 img.transparent {
     opacity:0;
#cf_onclick {
     cursor:pointer;
$(document).ready(function() {
     $("#cf_onclick").click(function() {
          $("#cf2 img.top").toggleClass("transparent");
I tried implementing this but have had no luck and i dont see any way of
adpating this for more complex moves. Anyone know of a simpler way of
making clickable css transitions?

  • Making Transitions

    I'm making a commercial for global warming and have before and after pics of glaciers. I'm looking for a transition that has a fog effect. So the fog can come from the left and slowly travel to the right, transitioning at the same time. If there isn't one built with FCP, i would like to know how to make it myself (if possible). Thanks!

    There probably is or at least a plug in, but I would think that the "ripple" effect with a large soft white edge and a little shape nudging would cut it.
    Many on the forum know more than I, however.

  • FF not responding to onclick events in td elements!!

    my website uses tables; td elements with onclick actions to make tabs. When I click them in ff, nothing happens. They work ok in other browsers. the site uses innerHTML to do its thing. site is www.tomcolwill.com

  • Making a button that onclick opens email program

    What is the code to make a button that onclick opens the
    user's email
    program?
    Thanks.

    I think you can simply treat it as a URL -- prefaced with
    "mailto:". As in "mailto:[email protected]". Then, make a URL
    Request with it.

  • Problems making Transitions

    Hi guys,
    So sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have recently bought some transitions from Video Hive which I liked the look of.
    I imported them into Motion 5, and then went through the prosess of exporting them into FCPX. For some reason, the transition doesnt take up the whole screen, it's much smaller, and, I have no option to change the legnth in the precision editor either...
    I'm a noob at this! so please go easy!

    More than just two sizes...
    1280x720
    1280x1080
    1440x1080
    1920x1080
    Yep, I'd contact there support about it, since they're Targa image sequences, they're just going to be a generic Motion project, not an FCP X Transition.  To make an FCP X transition, you need to start with Motion's FCP X Transition template to begin with, and that is not an image sequence.  Video Hive would need to comform their transitions to that specific format to make them act like "transitions" in FCP.  At this point, they're just video clips, and the duration is the duration, period.

  • Checklist for making transition from local testing server to remote

    Does anyone know of any resources which take one through the necessary steps required in putting an ADDT-built site to a remote server? I test on XAMPP (basic) and am dreading the errors I will discover when I actually put one of these sites to server...

    It all depends on waht you are going to do with the data on the remote.
    if tehre are no updates there, creating a simple materialized view on the remote to pull it's data from the local should suffice.
    If there are updates on the remote, you will more than likely want to look into either Multi-master replication, or updatable materialized views.

  • Can I make a button respond to Touch while using Gestures?

    Hi, I've recently discovered I'm unable to use Touch Points and Gestures at the same time on mobile apps.
    I would rather use Gestures so I'm wondering if anyone can help with making buttons respond to the user when they are touched.
    Here's what I'm trying to do but the buttons are not changing alpha values:
    mainMenu.menuPres.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
    mainMenu.menuPres.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
    function mouseDownHandler(event:TouchEvent):void {
    TweenLite.to(mainMenu.menuPres, .2, {alpha:.5});
    function mouseUpHandler(event:TouchEvent):void {
    TweenLite.to(mainMenu.menuPres, .2, {alpha:1});
    Is there another way I can do this or can this method be refined?
    Thanks

    Hi Mike,
    That's right, MultiTouch and Gestures can not be used at the same time, but you should always be able to receive mouse events for 1st touch point.
    Could you try changing your code as below.
    function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    TweenLite.to(mainMenu.menuPres, .2, {alpha:.5});
    function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    TweenLite.to(mainMenu.menuPres, .2, {alpha:1});
    please sprinkle some trace statements in event handler to see if they get triggered.
    Also, did you try just adding event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK, instead of MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP.
    -Thanks

  • Can't add transition to Quicktime import

    I made a Quicktime movie in IMovie using a series of photos and then imported it to FCE. It's now sitting in the Timeline but I cannot add transitions to either end of it. Any thoughts?

    If you come from iMovie, you're used to iMovie making transitions by shortening the adjacent shots, taking a bit off each of them to create an overlap for the transition to occur. This incidentally shortens your sequence and possibly pulls things out of alignment with your audio, but that's a problem for iMovie users to deal with.
    In FCE and FCP and all other professional editing applications, the overlap is not taken from inside the shot; it's taken from extra material, called handles in FCE, that lie beyond the end of the shot. So if you put a shot in a sequence that uses all the available media for that shot, that is you marked the out point on the very last frame, there are then no handles for the application to extend the shot and create the necessary overlap to make the transition, and the transition will fail.
    For the default one second transition you need at least 15 more frames after the marked out point of the outgoing, and 15 more frames in front of, before the marked in point on the incoming shot. That will give you enough material for the default centered on edit, one second cross dissolve or whatever transition you're adding.
    All the best,
    Tom

  • Creating a Transition Template for FCPX

    So I am familiar with FCPX and editing, however I am still working on developing my skills in animated graphics. I found a great transition I want to brand my videos with but it is saved as a After Effects Project. Upon opening it AE just has transparency behind it and no placeholder media for what would be transitioning. This would work find if I was making my project in AE, but I want to save this transition as a Transition that pops up in my FCPX Transitions Panel. I know you can create custom transitions in Motion, but I was wondering if anyone has had experience in making transitions, and if it would be possible to get an AE transition to be used as a Motion transition. Man I hope that makes sense lol.
    Link to Transition I want to save as a template in FCPX: LINK

    Yeah -
    Create your logo graphics in AE (you'll need to -- can't do that kind of 3D effects in Motion). Remove anything that pertains to a background and Export the project as ProRes 4444 (you'll need the transparency — everything that is background should be transparent.)
    In Motion, move the playhead to the point at which you want the storyline to transition from the incoming clip to the outgoing clip. Select Transition A layer and type 0 to mark an out point. Select Transition B layer and type 'i' to mark an in point.
    Save the transition. Supply a Category name (say: My Logo) and a project name (you don't need to deal with Themes and you don't need to provide a Preview). 

  • Transitions created using Canvas Edit overlay don't require handles?

    I have a question about creating transitions.
    First, let me explain how I got the clips I'm using, because this might be important.
    I used Capture Now to import 60 minutes of DV, resulting in one long clip. Next, I used Mark>DV Start/Stop Detect to mark the different scenes in the captured clip. Finally, I selected all the marked scenes and chose Modify>Make Subclip. This is the procedure described in Lisa Brenneis' Final Cut Express HD for Mac OS X Visual Quickstart Guide.
    Now to start assembling my sequence, with occasional transitions between subclips.
    (1) I drag the first subclip to the timeline. So far, so good.
    (2) I drag the next subclip to the Canvas, which changes to show the Canvas Edit overlay. I drop the subclip on the Insert>With Transition. The second subclip is added to the timeline, complete with transition between the first and second subclips.
    (3) Next, I drag the next subclip to the Canvas, and drop it on Insert (without transition) and it is added to the sequence. I decided I wanted a transition after all, so I select the edit point between the second and third subclip and chose a transition. However, I get the error message, "Insufficient content for edit."
    If I check the clips in the viewer, the In and Out points for ALL the subclips are at the outside ends of the clip (the whole subclip is between the In and Out points). There are no handles, as far as I understand the concept.
    I have read in these forums, to create a transition, you have to have handles outside the In and Out points of the clip. It appears that all of these subclips have no handles. Why, then, can I make a transition when dropping a given clip on the Canvas Edit overlay? Why doesn't it work when the clip is put in the timeline first?
    I'm just transitioning (no pun intended) from iMovie to FCE and I'm trying to get to the point where making transitions in FCE is as easy as it was in iMovie. Using the Canvas Edit overlay seems to be a quick and easy way to create a transition without worrying about handles and In and Out points, but if I want to add a transition after the clip is in the sequence, I'm out of luck.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I always insert transitions in the Timeline and trim
    the ends of the clips with the Razor Blade tool - but
    there are lots of other ways.
    I haven't learned about the Razor Blade tool yet, but I'm wondering if that tool or any other tool will let you trim the ends of a clip by exactly a certain number of frames (15 for a 1 second transition). If I could do that quickly with the two clips, that would make the process easier.
    Most professionals/skilled amateurs don't find
    trimming clips a problem because they very rarely use
    all their footage - most clips will have unnecessary
    material at each end, or even in the middle! It's
    quite normal to use only 10% of what was shot.
    I suspect that is true, but right now I have two main tasks: (1) I'm archiving all the DV of my kids, unedited, to disk for later editing, so I'm capturing all of it, without selecting which footage to save, and (2) I occasionally make a quick movie of a birthday or some special event, with emphasis on quick. I'm not yet accustomed to trimming clips for transitions, and maybe iMovie has given me the bad habit of using clips too often in their entirety.
    Maybe the quickest way to deal with your dodgy clip
    would be to highlight it and press Delete. Then just
    drag it again from the Browser into the Canvas and
    drop it on Insert with Transition.
    Yes, that would work unless I decide to use a transition other than the default. And as Mr. Wolski noted in his post, I'm actually only getting 1/2 a transition (end of edit).
    Thanks to all for their contributions. I hope your responses will help me further develop my rudimentary beginner's skills in FCE.

  • Can I apply a transition across two clips in different video tracks?

    In reading the manual, I see that I can butt two video clips up against each other in a single video track, overlap them and apply a transition.
    However, I'm accustomed to (in audio editing software) making transitions across two clips that are in two separate video tracks.
    I would like to be able to fade in and out, back and forth across two video tracks. Is that possible?
    Please direct me to resources already documented and I will go read further. Maybe there are online resources, other posts, etc.
    Thanks

    Most transitions will work if the clip is overlapped on another track. Just apply the transition to the edit point. Some, like the 3D simulation transitions, will not work properly like this.
    It would really be better if you learned how to use this application the way it was designed to be used rather than the way you used some other application.

  • What is wrong with as3

    this is not a question about 'how i do X'. is rather a 'discussion' (flame or whatever, but to defend or argue about aspects, not people) about 'what is wrong with as3' and what aspects whould be taken into consideration for updates. right now i am using as3, and since i paid for this license, i choose this tool over some alternatives and i am using it to do stuff for other people who pay me to do it, i think it can be helpful for all of us if some actions are started in the right direction. i have already posted about 'all people in adobe are dumbasses that do not know how to make a scripting tool and are messing up my work', but i was pissed at the time (i still am pissed) but i believe this is not the right aproach. instead, if this goes to the right people in adobe, we all may get something in the future, like better and easier todo apps and web presentations.
    pre: not only about the as3 specification, but COMPLY with the specification that you set. for example, some time ago there were problems with matrix transforms. this was corrected later with a patch. but this means it is not even doing what is is supposed to do
    1. scriptable masks and movement, sprites and child sprites: there is a sprite with a mask, the mask is a shape drawn via script, something like
    somemask=new shape();
    somemask.graphics.beginfill();
    (...etc)
    somesprite.mask=somemask;
    just like that. now add some child sprites to 'somesprite', and make 'somesprite' move, scale and rotate. there you will have something like a kaleidoscope, but not what you expected to do with your script. as the child sprites move in the parent mask, you will see that the child sprites appear or dissapear kind of randomly, and if the child sprites are textfields, it may be that the text is rendered outside the mask, or partially rendered outside the mask (as in only part of the text), rendered with the wrongf rotation or in the wrong place. some child sprites are clipped correctly, some dissapear totally when only a part should dissapear (clipped) etc.
    way around: have not tried it yet, but i have the impression that bitmaps have different criteria for clipping, so i am thinking of trying this: appli an empty filter (a filter with params so it does not have any effect on the sprite or in the textfield) so the sprite is rendered as bitmap before doing anything else with it. as i said, i have not done it yet, but it may be a way around this problem, to avoid all this inconsistency with clipping
    1-b. inconsistency between hierarchy and coordinates, specially masks: you apply a mask to a sprite, yet the sprite has a set of coordinates (so 'x' in the sprite means an x relative to its container), yet the mask applied to the very same sprite, as another reference as reference for coordinates (like the stage)
    2. painting via script: in any other languaje, in any other situation, something like:
    beginFill(params);
    (...stuff 1)
    endFill();
    beginFill(params);
    (...stuff 2)
    endFill();
    (...etc)
    means: render region of block 1, then render region of block 2 etc, and no matter what, it should be consistent, since there is noplace for ambiguity. if you read it, you may think what that means, even if you dont run it you may have an idea of the picture you want to draw, but not with as3. as3 somehow manages to screw something that simple, and mixes all the blocks, and somehow uses the boundaries of one block as boundaries for other block. is like all blocks are dumped into whatever, and then uses all lines defined into it as boundaries for a unique block. it changes all boundaries and generates inconsistency between what is shown and redraw regions of the resulting picture, like lines that go to the end of the screen and then dont go away in the next frames, even tough the beginfill endfill block should prevent it
    3. event flow: i dont know what was the policy behind as3 event flow design. it is in no way similar or an extension to previous event flow, neither with any event flow in any other plattform. i dont know how most people start with as3; in my case, i unpacked, installed and when i tried to do something with what i already knew i could not, so i started reading the as3 docs, and since is like 800 pages long, i just read the basics and the rest i would 'wing it'. in the part of the event flow, there was something about bubbling and stuff, it was not clear at all and when i tried to do what is was said in the documentation (like preventing events to 'bubble', as is called in the documentation), i could not see any effect but i could see it was a mess. flash is not the only thing out there to work with pictures or to work with mouse events, but is the only one that deals with things like 'target' and 'currentTarget'. my first experience on needing this was when i was dealing with my own event handlers (so the only thing that had control over mouse was the stage, and i would admin everything via script). there were events generated everywhere, the stage got events that were not genrated directly over the stage, but got there not with stage coordinates but the coordinates relative to the sprite that generated the event. so if i hover the mopuse over the stage, and the stage has some things on it how does it work? i get multiple event calls, like it was hovering multiple times over the stage in a single frame, but in each call with different coordinates? and what if i set all child sprites as mouseenabled=false or compare like 'if (event.target != event.currenttarget)', what if i move the mouse over a child, does it prevent the move mouse event at all? or does it filter only the event call with only stage coordinates? in my case, every time i move over another clip (with mouseenabled = true), the stage gets it as 'mouse up', even tough there was never a mouse release, what the hell? do even the people at adobe know how to handle events with their own tool when they require it? why does an event 'bubble' when i have not specifically tell it to do it? mi thought is that this event flow was very poorly conceived, and tough the intention may have been that there were different cases and it shopuld cover all cases, they actually introduced new problems that were not present in traditional ways to handle it, and it is neither the easier way to handle things, and this way, a very simple problem turns into a very ugly thing because it must handle things that were not neccesary to handle, or were implicit in other situations.
    4. legacy: since as3, all interaction is different, and if you want to do things in the new plattform, using the new features, what you already knew just goes to the garbage can. when a new tool arrives, it should be an extension to previous tools (which is a reason to update instead of just buying a new tool from a different vendor). if everything i had or knew just means nothing from now on, then i can not say 'i know flash script', and my previous knowledge gives me no advantage when aproaching the new version. as3 is a new aproach that requires doc reading and stuff, even if you knew something about previous as specifications or other oo languajes. if you decide to change things from now on, like the things mentioned in this post, instead of just throwing away everything the users alerady knew about the tool, do like in java releases, they mark some things as 'deprecated', they keep working as they should, give a warning, but also a message saying this feature is deprecated, we suggest you use this library instead.
    5. lack of previous functionality: if you 'update' something, it meand all previos functionality is still there (probably improved, but not with bugs if it was working fine), plus something else. now it seems backwards, there are some things that could be done in previous versions but not in this one, like 'duplicatemovieclip'
    6. inconsistency with scripting/programming paradigms: (ok, fancy work, but fits perfectly here): as3 proposed ways to handle things, but the people who designed it got 'too creative', and they did something that is not consistent neither with previous versions of as or with other languajes. the documentations is full of things like 'it looks like x languaje or languaje family, but instead of using XXX word, you must use YYY'. great, what is this? namespaces 'work like', but 'differently' for example from java, .net, .c. its got the idea that a namespace means a grouped functionality but there are rules about where should be placed the file (ok, java has this also, .net takes care of it automatically if all files are registered in the project), but what you got is a mess that 'if you know other languajes you got the general idea, but nonetheless, even if you knew this or previosu versions of as, you still have to read whatever we decided arbitrarily just to be different'. namespaces, event handling, vars definition which is not like previous scripting neither like fully typed languajes.. is just a mess.
    7. lack of scripting and graphics integration: unlike flash and adobe tools that just got on the graphics side leaving all the scripting integratuion apart, most tools from other vendors integrate very well interacton with what is on the screen. the script editor: very poor. autocompletion? a drop down list that does not heklp at all, appears in the wrong places, and when you need it to go, it does not go (so if i want to move away from the uncalled drop down list, i have to click somewhere else, making developement slowewr instead of helping, so the drop down list does not capture all events when i dont want to). in other ides you double click somewhere and it will go to the part of code relevant to that event or whatever. for example microsoft tools, ok i am antimicrosoft, and one of the reasons was that when windows 95 got to market proposing itself as the ONLY pc os you could use if you wanted to keep useing the apps you already had, it was a lousy product full of flaws but you had to keep using it because you had no choice. what is so different from what is happening with flash just now? yet the ide of c# is awesome, works very well and seems reliable.
    adobe people: not all user are designers that just make pretty pictures. if it is not intended for scripting then why is it there. and if there are corrections to be done, they should patch all versions, not only the last one. previous version users also paid for their versions.

    Well, there is no point in arguing.
    I personally believe AS3 does exactly what it promises to do within limits (read: reasonable limits) of ECMA type of language. And sometimes it doesn’t do what we expect it to for it cannot possibly emulate everyone’s thinking process. The task, I guess, is to learn to think in terms of AS3 – not to try to make AS3 think like us. No language covers all the grounds. And no, it is not Java - with no negative or positive connotation. It is what it is. Period. I just hope that AS5 will be more Java like.
    You are right about the fact that it is not necessary to know all the aspects of language in order to perform the majority of tasks. But it is paramount to have a clear idea about such fundamental concepts as display list model and events. For instance, depth swap has no meaning in terms of AS3 because display list object stacking is controlled automatically and there is no need for all these jumping through hoops one has to perform in order to control depth in AS2. There no more gaps in depths and one always know where to find things.
    Similarly, there is no point in having duplicateMovieClip method. More conventional OOP ways of object instantiation accomplishes just that and much more. Just because OOP object instantiation needs to be learned doesn’t mean past hacks have place in modern times. duplicateMovieClip is a horse carriage standing next to SUV. What one should choose to travel?
    Events are implemented to the tee in the context of ECMA specifications. I consider Events model as very solid, it works great (exactly as expected) and never failed me. True, it takes time to get used to it. But what doesn’t?
    By the way, speaking about events, contrary to believe in Adobe’s inconsideration to their following. Events are implemented with weakly reference set to false although it would be better to have it set to true. I think this is because there are smart and considerate people out there who knew how difficult it would be for programming novices to deal with lost listeners.
    I think AS3 is million times better than AS2. And one of the reasons it came out this way is that Adobe made a very brave and wise decision to break totally loose from AS2’s inherent crap. They have created a totally new and very solid language. If they had tried to make it backward compatible – it would be a huge screw up, similar to how our friends at Microsoft are prostituting VB and VBA – extremely irritating approach IMHO.
    Also, Flash legacy issues shouldn’t be overlooked. Flash did not start as a platform for programmers. Entire timeline concept in many ways is not compatible with the best OOP practices and advancements. I think for anyone who is used to writing classes the very fact of coding on timeline sounds awkward. It feels like a hack (and AS2 IS a pile of hacks) – the same things can be nicely packaged into classes and scale indefinitely. As such I wouldn’t expect Adobe to waste time on hacking timeline concept issues by making smarter editor. They have made a new one – FlexBuilder – instead. Serious programmers realize very soon that Flash IDE is not for developing industrial strength applications anyway. So, why bother with channeling great minds into polishing path to the dead end?
    I would like to state that all this is coming form a person who knew Flash when there was no AS at all. And I applaud every new generation of this wonderful tool.
    I believe Adobe does a great job making transition from timeline paradigm to total OOP venue as smooth as possible. And no, they don’t leave their devoted followers behind contrary to many claims. They are working on making developing Flash applications as easy as possible for people of all walks. Welcome Catalyst!
    Of course there is not enough information about AS3 capabilities and features. But, on the other hand, I don’t know any area of human kind activities that does.

  • When painting a light over a dark, at low opacity, i am getting an even darker color. How to fix?

    I'm using version 1.4, running on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Both when I set the pen pressure to opacity control, and when setting the brush to an overall lower opacity, my light color turns a reddish dark where it overlaps my dark color, almost as though i'm using the burn tool. i havent noticed this problem before, and i've been constistenly using pstouch to paint, since i bought this tablet nearly 3 weeks ago. I'm painting a dark muted orange over a slightly darker, slightly more intense (but still mainly muted) red. It looks almost like a watermark effect. each transparent brushstroke has sort of a fringe around it where it looks as though simulated pigments collect in a concentrated way, creating a dark ring around my slightly less dark  brush mark.
    This might be related to a color picker problem i have consistently noticed. it seems that the color picker tends to pick darker versions of the colors i sample. this might have something to do with the fact that my brush is usually set up with less than 100% opacity, and maybe, for some reason, the color picker is programmed to compensate for that. In any case, the color sampler doesnt work fully as it should, and this obviously affects my ability to use lowered opacity to blend colors together.
    That said, even when i sample a color, then manually lighten it to match the lightness of the sampled color, i still get a burn tool effect when making transitions between my slightly darker and slightly lighter warm mute dark colors, using a color with lowered opacity. the only way to make the lighter color lighter than the darker color, is to simply bring it to full opacity, but then i get no transition between the the colors.
    I assume this is a bug that needs to be fixed, but if anyone knows of anything i might be able to do in order to solve this problem, I'd really appreciate it.

    Actually, here's a clearer image. The middle stroke is with 20% drawing smoothness, and 100% pressure strength.
    The top stroke is 100% both, and the bottom is 100% drawing smoothness with 20% pressure strength.
    In all three instances, the dark watercolorish ring persists.
