Hi,
I'm using this code below to fade pictures. How can I have them "stop for
3sec" and continuing fading?
Any help, please.
Thanks

stop();
this.banner_clip_1._alpha = "100";
this.banner_clip_2._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_3._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_4._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_5._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_6._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_7._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_8._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_9._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_10._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_11._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_12._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_13._alpha = "0";
var speed = 2;
mctoFade = 2;
fadeI = setInterval(fadeF, 40);
thisMC = this;
function fadeF() {
if (mctoFade<13) {
nexttoFade = mctoFade+1;
} else {
nexttoFade = 1;
}
thisMC["banner_clip_"+mctoFade]._alpha -= speed;
thisMC["banner_clip_"+nexttoFade]._alpha =
100-thisMC["banner_clip_"+mctoFade]._alpha;
if (thisMC["banner_clip_"+mctoFade]._alpha<=0) {
thisMC["banner_clip_"+mctoFade]._alpha = 0;
thisMC["banner_clip_"+nexttoFade]._alpha = 100;
mctoFade = nexttoFade;
}
updateAfterEvent();
}

if you mean you want to pause the fade before the fade begins try:



stop();
this.banner_clip_1._alpha = "100";
this.banner_clip_2._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_3._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_4._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_5._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_6._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_7._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_8._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_9._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_10._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_11._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_12._alpha = "0";
this.banner_clip_13._alpha = "0";
var speed = 2;
mctoFade = 2;
startFadeI=setInterval(startFadeF,3000);
function startFadeF(){
clearInterval(startFadeI)
fadeI = setInterval(fadeF, 40);
}
thisMC = this;
function fadeF() {
if (mctoFade<13) {
nexttoFade = mctoFade+1;
} else {
nexttoFade = 1;
}
thisMC["banner_clip_"+mctoFade]._alpha -= speed;
thisMC["banner_clip_"+nexttoFade]._alpha =
100-thisMC["banner_clip_"+mctoFade]._alpha;
if (thisMC["banner_clip_"+mctoFade]._alpha<=0) {
thisMC["banner_clip_"+mctoFade]._alpha = 0;
thisMC["banner_clip_"+nexttoFade]._alpha = 100;
mctoFade = nexttoFade;
}
updateAfterEvent();
}

Thank you so much for trying to help me.
and I'm sorry my bad english. But I will try to explain again. Is it possible
to pause each one of the pictures (between fade in and fade out)?
The pause is not in the begining of the movie or in the end. It is in
"between".
Like this:
fade in pic1 (pause)
fade out to pic2 (pause)
fade out to pic3 (pause)...

Actually, your code did help! :)
But is it possible to have the pause time "longer" then the "fading time"? I mean, the pictures fade faster and pause for bitter long time?

try:



stop();
this.banner_clip_1._alpha = "100";
for (var i = 2; i<=13; i++) {
this["banner_clip_"+i]._alpha = "0";
}
var speed = 2;
i = 1;
fadeI = setInterval(fadeF, 40);
thisMC = this;
function fadeF() {
thisMC["banner_clip_"+i]._alpha -= speed;
thisMC["banner_clip_"+(i+1)]._alpha = 100-thisMC["banner_clip_"+i]._alpha;
if (thisMC["banner_clip_"+i]._alpha<=0) {
thisMC["banner_clip_"+i]._alpha = 0;
thisMC["banner_clip_"+(i+1)]._alpha = 100;
i++;
clearInterval(fadeI);
if (i<13) {
startFadeI = setInterval(startFadeF, 3000);
}
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
function startFadeF() {
clearInterval(startFadeI);
fadeI = setInterval(fadeF, 40);
}

thanks a lot.
