Fade in fade out images from folder.

I couldn't seem to attach the file. Here is the script which is all you need anyway.

//The script assumes that your images are in the same folder as the swf and that they are named
//I1, I2, I3 etc. I have not put in any limiting code to stop the tweening action so it will
//keep looking for images for infinity

import fl.motion.*;
import fl.motion.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.*;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.display.Sprite;

stop();

var imageCounter:Number = 1;
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("I" + imageCounter + ".jpg");
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var fadeTween:Tween;

var img:Sprite = new Sprite();

    addChild(img); //this will be our stage image container
   
    img.alpha = 0; //start the alpha of the container at 0 so the loaded image doesn't show

    //event listener calls to loadComplete function when image is loaded
    myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
    myLoader.load(myRequest);

    function loadComplete(evt:Event)
    {    //convert loaded image to a bitmap
        var tempClip:Bitmap = Bitmap(evt.target.content);
        myLoader.unload(); //have to do this for the next load cycle or we get an error
        img.addChild(tempClip);
       
        fadeTween = new Tween(img, "alpha", null, 0, 1, 2, true); //tween will start automatically
        fadeTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, fadeOut); //when tween ends call fadeout function
    }
   
    function fadeOut(evt:Event)
    {
        fadeTween = new Tween(img, "alpha", null, 1, 0, 2, true);
        //we could add an if statement that says if the imagecounter is at a certain number skip the eventlistener.
        fadeTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, nextImage); //once fade out is complete increment and load next image
        imageCounter++;
    }
   
    function nextImage(evt:Event)
    {
        img.removeChildAt(0); //remove the previous image from the stage
        myRequest = new URLRequest("I" + imageCounter + ".jpg");
        myLoader.load(myRequest);
    }

Hey I am attaching an fla example that I whipped up.

You need to place your images into the same folder as the fla so that it will find them when the movie is run. Its a pretty straightforward example, but I would suggest you go and look at goasap.org or any other tweening library site since doing code tweens with just the base tween libraries in flash can become cumbersome.

Good Luck to you and your class!
