Well, both are bad practice (IMO). I'd go for an animation engine, like animationpackage: http://www.alex-uhlmann.de/flash/animationpackage/
Which has a class for alpha tweening: http://www.alex-uhlmann.de/flash/animationpackage/ap2/de/alex_uhlmann/animationpackage/animation/Alpha_doc.html As an added bonus you'll get easing + being able to specify the duration of the alpha tween. // begin import de.alex_uhlmann.animationpackage.animation.*; import com.robertpenner.easing.*; var yPos:Number = 100; var mc:MovieClip; var mcAlpha:Alpha; var num:Number = 5; for (var i:Number = 0; i<num; i++) { mc = templates.duplicateMovieClip("templates"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_y:yPos}); yPos += 50; mcAlpha = new Alpha(mc, [0,100], 1000, Linear.easeOut); mcAlpha.run(); } // end regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jesse Graupmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 1:34 AM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] onEnterFrame() and delete onEnterFrame() >I was just making an example based on this article. > > http://timotheegroleau.com/Flash/articles/scope_chain.htm > > "#6 To avoid memory waste, a simple solution is to not use nested function > but create function externaly instead and attach references only." > > So would that still be bad practice for AS 1.0 considering nothing gets > referenced beyond the scope of this? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Muzak > Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 4:13 PM > To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] onEnterFrame() and delete onEnterFrame() > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jesse Graupmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> > Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 12:49 AM > Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] onEnterFrame() and delete onEnterFrame() > > >> You could make it just a bit more lean than that... >> > > Except that fadeInMc() now runs in a different scope => bad practice. > _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
