Hi all I am wondering if anyone can explain or help me code this effect as seen
here on this http://www.ronmacphoto.com/# When you click on one fo the images
in teh scroll bar you will see the image burn in from white to the true colors.
I ahve been trying to re-create this effect with the brightness tween but
still am unable to get the overall effect as dramatic.

The effect takes a picture and when the image comes in it burns in from a
bright white to a soft even fade to the true colors. I would be gratefull to
anyone who could either explain the process or help me with an FLA that I could
break down.

Again the web site up top ronmac.com will show an example of it.

Thank you in advance.

I tried to make that effect using a white square MovieClip. When you click a
button, the white square's alpha goes from 100 to 0. It looked klunky until i
jacked up the fps to 36, that smoothened it out a bit.
I can email it to you if you want to check it out, you'll have to post your
address.

The effect on his site gives a much better color burn, so I'm led to beleive
that instead of using a white square "mask" like I did, he used a modified
image of the displayed image, and it's rgb values are cranked to acheive a
bright white. Just my guess.

urami_, why is it that the only options I have are the W:, H:, x:, and y: upon
selecting the photo, going to properties, ctrl&F3 ? I have no EFFECT item
either...(Flash MX 2004) ?

Thanks in advance.

OK Guys the Advanced tabs with the RGB cranked to full on each create a white image, this is exactly the effect I needed. Thanks a bunch.

Turn your image into a symbol first. Than you can apply what Urami talks
about to the instance of the symbol you have on stage. Basc stuff described
in the manual.

It's pretty simple, all you have to do is make motion tween of your photo.
Say from frame 1 to 10 . On frame 10 highlight your image , go to properties CTRL F3
and under EFFECT choose advanced- setting . In advanced change the color xR/xG/xB
roughly to 120-150 and above each .
Depends on the image, if you have light color with day time sky you can over brighten it , with
dark one you can go to 170.

you can produce this effect in Actionscript (AS1.0)
make the image a movieclip and give it an instance name -
clip1, add a main timeline script -

Color.prototype.setBrightOffset = function(offset){
var trans = new Object();
trans.rb = trans.gb = trans.bb = offset;
this.setTransform(trans);
}

MovieClip.prototype.setBrightness = function(offset){
var c = new Color (this);
c.setBrightOffset(offset);
};

iv = 255;
clip1.setBrightness(iv);

function fader(){
iv < 0 ? clearInterval(bright) : iv -= 5;
clip1.setBrightness(iv);
};

bright = setInterval(fader,10);
