inactive buttons in test mode after fade is placed

[jp98610231]

I have placed a fade on the time line but when I go to test mode the fade works but my buttons are no longer active.

I am using adobe animate 2017. Does anyone know of any other way I can do a transition?

In the case of HTML5 Canvas you can't have zero alpha interactive buttons. Change the fade from 100 to 0 to be 100 to 1.

IM USING ACTION SCRIPT

and would like my mobile phone to fade out, i have created a separate button which i have placed on top, the alpha is on a rectangle which i placed over the phone to fade out and reveal the phone but when i test the button does not work but the fade does.

So, does the button fail before it has faded? When you do a test movie are there any errors showing in the Output panel?

Would you be able to put the FLA online somewhere for us to try?

The button stays in place after fade but is not clickable

after placing the fade and I run a test I get many error messages if I remove I have none and im able to click my button in test mode.

im away from my computer for a few hours, tell me where I can upload file to.

You would use dropbox or google drive, or any other file sharing service that you have access to.

In your fade function, see if this solves the problem:

function fl_FadeSymbolOut(event:Event)

{

  FADEANIMATE.alpha -= 0.01;

  if(FADEANIMATE.alpha <= 0)

  {

  FADEANIMATE.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolOut);

  gotoAndStop(10);

  }

}

THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK IS THERE ANOTHER WAY IN WHICH I CAN ADD A TRANSITION?

[Colin Holgate]

Your fade in is working ok, but without the gotoAndStop() after the transition ends, the fade layer is still on top, which is why the buttons fail. By going to frame 10 you're then away from the fade layer, and the buttons should work. They seem to work for me.

[jp98610231]

For some reason this has not worked for me I have followed your instructions. When I do this and test, it runs right through the whole video without stopping.

[Colin Holgate]

I have not seen any errors in the Output panel. If you are seeing any errors you could go into Publish Settings, and check the box that says "Permit debugging". Then the errors will show you which line number had the error.

[jp98610231]

I have checked and have no errors and have used the gotoAndstop() you suggested and have placed in different places of the script, am I missing something?

[Colin Holgate]

Can you upload the FLA again, and I can see what's the difference between what I did and what you did.

You haven't given any permission to download the file.

SORRY, you now have permission.

Your fade function is like this:

function fl_FadeSymbolOut_3(event:Event)

{

   movieClip_4.alpha -= 0.01;

   if(movieClip_4.alpha <= 0)

   {

       movieClip_4.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolOut_3);

   }

}

and I had said to make it be this:

function fl_FadeSymbolOut_3(event:Event)

{

   movieClip_4.alpha -= 0.01;

   if(movieClip_4.alpha <= 0)

   {

       movieClip_4.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_FadeSymbolOut_3);

       gotoAndStop(10);

   }

}

THANK YOU Colin, it now works.
