Fade out - fade in ....between pages

[benthomas1 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi,
I just came across this and need help with something similar.

I have four links to each section of my site (about us, portfolio, services, contact), How do I apply a fading transition? Could someone just recap the basics of what I need to do to make this work?




Thanks, especially to all of the senior members that work hard to answer our questions!

You can do this either with actionscript or as the other person said, with a movieclip that covers the entire page.

If you use actionsript you can pass the movieclip to a function that phases it in or phases it out. And you can have one fade in and one fade out simultaneously after it's loaded by putting the code inside an onload function. I'm looking for a little project to play with tonight. I'll post an example of this on my site when I'm done with it. I've done this with images and it can be done with swf's as well since images are swf's after they're loaded.

I have just completed a component that fades between movieclips.
You can attach movie clips, or load movies from urls
After I finish the documentation I'll post it on the web.

that rocks! I cannot wait for the component. Are you going to sell it or make it available for free? Where can I get it when it becomes available?

Thanks for taking the time to make this, it looks as if it will be very usefull.

Free definitely. And I just tested and it works!!! I'm so happy! It's my first one. I have to polish it now and will hopefully have it posted sometime next week.
