Breezer Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I think you can get a demo file from John Mark Osborne. His 2005 Dev Con Presentation used something to the effect of what you want. Go to www.databasepros.com and download "DevCon 2005 Presentation" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Here's an example file of fading text. It'll be a bit of a trick to get graphic objects to fade since you don't have programmatic control over their attributes, but this might be all you need anyway Dana fade.fp7.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 Cheers reed, breezer, i downloaded the devcon thing and had a look but i couldnt really find the right file... could you point me in the right direction direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 Your solution works well reed and itll do perfectly for my text fading part... can i ask though, is there anyway to make it quicker and smoother?... i mean whats the minimum time for a script pause?

Reed Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Anything less than 0.1 seconds doesn't seem to cause a difference. So the only way to go faster is to be less smooth (increase the increment) Here's a slight modification that makes it look a little better. It fades out and then back in. fade.fp7.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genx Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 I ended up integrating this with flash by exporting to XML and reparsing into variables in flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
