Button Help

[jay1024]

I am using Flash CS3 and am trying to create a simple menu where when you mouse over the button a gradient comes up, this is what I have and it keeps giving me errors and I can't figure out why. Can anyone help me?

function fadeIn (bgClip){
bgClip.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (this._alpha < 100) {
this._alpha += 20;
};
};
};

function fadeOut (bgClip){
bgClip.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (this._alpha > 0)
this._alpha -= 20;
};
};
};

Home.onRollOver = function () {
fadeIn (Blue);
};
Home.onRollOut = function () {
fadeOut (Blue);
};

Hi!
There is working fade effect in FML Open Source Edition (http://flashmenulabs.com/opensource)

Download zip archive, open menu.xml, find the line
enable_soft_wave_when_appear = "1"

and change it to the
enable_soft_wave_when_appear = "0"

You will get simple fade in/out effect

I appreciate the reply, but I was wondering more how to fix my current code. I want to learn actionscripting and I usually learn more by doing and messing with code than copying and pasting code. This is my entire project if that might help things more. I tried a few other things, so the code has changed some.

Why don't you set an animated gradient movieclip as the buttons 'over' stage? Then when you rollover the button it will play the movieclip, just don't forget to put a stop(); at the end of it otherwise it will loop :P

It seems that your event code doesn't work

this.Home.MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER = function (){
fadeIn (Blue);
trace("!!!!!!!");
};
Nothing traces.

Try to find some tutorial on event handling.

And even after you make this function work you should make a enter frame event function that will gradually change the opacity. Frame by frame.
