Dynamic Fadeouts with the Tween Class

 

If you ever needed a quick dynamic solution for fade-outs and ins – here it is:
 

import mx.transitions.Tween; // first the import
MovieClip.prototype.alphize = function(from,to,speed) //movieclip extended
{
  // and a proper usage of the Tweening Class 
  var alphizeT:Tween = new Tween(this,"_alpha",mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut,from,to,speed,false);
};
// example usage
YourMC.onRollOver = function()
{
  this.alphize(this._alpha,100,10);
};
YourMC.onRollOut = function()
{
  this.alphize(this._alpha,0,10);
};
And that's more or less an easy way to smoothly fadein/out movieclips without those glitchy animation errors when using the Timeline (bleh!). I'll extend this idea onto other uses in my next posts.
