AS2: Dynamically load image + FadeAlphaIn

Published in: ActionScript 

This is a quick way to fade in an image while it is dynamically loading. MovieClipLoader is a powerful class that can also show loading progress and load completion so it's worth looking into if you need something more powerful.

Plain TextExpand 
  1. /************************
  2. Import Classes
  3. ************************/
  4. import mx.transitions.Tween;
  5. import mx.transitions.easing.*;
  6. /************************
  7. Fade in JPG
  8. ************************/
  9. MovieClip.prototype.FadeAlpha = function(url:String, direction:String) {
  10. 	//A. You can either fade "IN" or "OUT"
  11. 	if (direction == "IN")
  12. 	{
  13. 		//B. MovieClipLoader is far more powerful than loadMovie()
  14. 		var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
  15. 		mcLoader.loadClip(url, this);
  16. 		var tw:Tween = new Tween(this, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 50, false);
  17. 	} else
  18. 	{
  19. 		var tw:Tween = new Tween(this, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 50, false);
  20. 	}
  21. };
  22. //Create a new MovieClip, load .JPG, and FadeIN
  23. var container_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
  24. container_mc.FadeAlpha("http://capefeare.com/ralphdrip_small.gif", "IN");
