how to setup a Desaturation Tween

you're welcome.

hmm.. It might just be my comp.

now you've raised my curiosity again..=)
gonna go to a local net cafe and check it there...It might just be my comp, it is getting quite old now.

anyway, thanx for checking, and the help on the thumb nails, i'll add a _visibility line somewhere to fix that up.

when i click on a thumbnail and don't move my mouse i see preloader text (loading image xx%) where xx increases as the image appears to load. the text disappears as the image appears. just as i would expect with a properly functioning preloader.

when i click on the same thumb repeatedly the preloader text only appears briefly and displays loading image 0% before being replaced by the image. just as one would expect from an image being retrieved from the user's cache.

p.s. the brief flash of the thumbs at the upper left is due to their instantiation before they are positioned. to remedy make them not visible until they are positioned.

hmm... i just checked it and i still have that problem...only... i KNOW i had a preLoader for the thumbs too... I wonder what happened to that... *scratches head*

so, when you click on a thumb, and DONT MOVE you mouse... The pic shows??
Mind you, that this only happens BEFORE the pics are Cached.

and, unfortunatelly i know about the brief appearance of the thumbs and hitArea to the left of the window..
I dont know why thats happening... Thankfully it's realy quick =)

i don't see those problems.

the only problem i see is when gallery first loads the carousel slides are briefly visible at the upper left before taking their carousel position.

no, i don't see that code causing any problem.

post a link to your site. maybe something else is happening.

do you have any onMouseMove functions defined? if so, copy and paste that code.

Welcome back kglad, hope you had some good time off =)

as for the pre-loading of the thumbs... nope. it's still not working 100%

the loading (text) doesn't update unless i move the mouse.

if i click on a thumb (and not move my mouse) , it displays " Loading NaN% "
but this is loading, just not showing in the text field.
if i constantly move the mouse, then, and only then, it shows the amount that is loaded.
It doesn't even show the picture or thumbs if i dont move the mouse..

but, it works, so im hoping that whoever visits the page keeps moving the mouse. =)



Hey Senocular,
Thanx for the code, there is somewhat of a desaturation code in this thread, whch works... but not with the colorMatrix filters.
Your code is abit too advanced for me tho, so i hope it's useful to anyone else looking for the same effect.
Thanx again for the code tho, i'll definately have a look through it at some stage.

In skimming this thread I don't recall seeing a desaturation solution so I'll post one below. This uses Flash 8 ActionScript 2 (Flash 8 or greater is needed for desaturation since the ColorMatrixFilter is required and it has only been available since Flash 8). This code assumes a movie clip named my_mc is being desaturated over 50 frames.

i was on vacation for the past 2 weeks. is this solved?
