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