Fading Carousel

The following code supports a fading carousel, allowing you to create a method of looping through a selection of images and fading between them.

Code


var fademode = 0;
var currentt = 1;
var maxt = 3;
var fadespeed = 10;
this.tholder_mc.loadMovie("t" + currentt + ".swf");

this.left_btn.onPress = function () {
if (currentt <= 1) {
currentt = maxt;
} else {
currentt -=1;
}
fademode = 1;
}
this.right_btn.onPress = function () {
if (currentt >= maxt) {
currentt = 1;
} else {
currentt += 1;
}
fademode = 1;
}
//fading
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (fademode == 1) {
//do some fading out
if (this.tholder_mc._alpha > 0) {
this.tholder_mc._alpha -= fadespeed;
}
if (this.tholder_mc._alpha <= 0) {
this.tholder_mc._alpha = 0;
this.tholder_mc.loadMovie("t" + currentt + ".swf");
fademode = 2;
}
} else if (fademode == 2) {
// do some fading in
if (this.tholder_mc._alpha < 100) {
this.tholder_mc._alpha +=fadespeed;
}
if (this.tholder_mc._alpha >= 100) {
this.tholder_mc._alpha = 100;
fademode = 0;
}
}
}
