Actionscript for FLash to Fadein larger pics on MOUSE DOWN. 500 POINTS!!

Hello bjv211,
        Have you tried using the _xscale and _yscale property of the movie clip? You can have it something like this:

on(press){
      if(_global.sized == 0){
            this._xscale = 100;
            this._yscale = 100;
      }else{
            this._xscale = 80;
            this._yscale = 80;
      }
}

try using that, you can change it to suit your needs.

Oops, i forgot

on(press){
      if(_global.sized == 0){
            this._xscale = 100;
            this._yscale = 100;
            _global.sized = 1;
      }else{
            this._xscale = 80;
            this._yscale = 80;
            _global.sized = 0;
      }
}

It is better to initialize the variable before use

Add this line beforehand

_global.sized = 0;

My flash file has moved...you can download my fla from http://homepages.nyu.edu/~bjv211/slide.fla   I am trying to use the fadin and fadeout functions I defined in Scene1 layer actionscript on each movieclip when I click.

bjv211,

Change this:

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
      fadein(pic4_big);
}

to

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
      _root.fadein(pic4_big);
}

See if it helps~~ :)

bjv211,

sorry~
It should be

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
     _root.fadein(_root.pic4_big);
}

That would be safer

However I found that the fade in function don't work
in this line

target.onEnterFrame = function()

I am thinking why is it like that~

Oh negatyve, you amaze me once again, and thanks to everyone else for getting this going...Negatyve you rock

ok Negatyve, sorry to jump to conclusions, at first glance the fading was working, however if I click anywhere on the bar of movieclips the same picture comes up, it is not recognizing individual clips I assume?

I didn't know what kind of effect you are exactly trying to achieve. You want to fadein the proper image at the first click on the proper thumb, and then.....?

thats correct and then fadeout on second click. To recap:  The movie scrolls, the user clicks once on the image, it fades in the larger image and remains until the user clicks again?
