The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

AS3 Tween - problem fading two movieclips on top of each other

Asked by nimuse in ActionScript, Adobe Flash, Adobe Creative Suite

Hi,

I am trying to achieve what at first seemed a quite simple task:

To get Flash AS3 to dynamically fade a movieclip in, then fade another one over the top, on a different layer. To give a 'slideshow' effect, images being fed by XML...

I have tried different approaches and the deadline is looming.  First I simply loaded the images as childs of a movieclip onto a stack, and faded them in - this worked OK, but kept 'hanging'/ not working properly when live.

so I'm exploring using two 'layers' - one on top of the other, that fade in/out - I set up a similar thing on the timeline with a movie in the old days!

Again, Flash seems to be tripping up with the 'Tween' - not rendering the scene when I have two tweens on stage at the same time.

Please help!

If there is a better 'Tween' component you can recommend that can definately handle two or more tweens at the same time?

Have a look at my code - can you see where there may be an issue - all the variables are being fed from local Arrays, that are built from XML data?

Please help!

Nick
