Thanks for the comments Eric... When writing code I was thinking more on the
lines of this:
current Coding:
var myelement1 = new Element
myelement1.alpha = 0;
addChild(myelement1);
var myelement2 = new Element
myelement2.alpha = 0;
addChild(myelement2);
var myelement3 = new Element
myelement3.alpha = 0;
addChild(myelement3);
var myelement4 = new Element
myelement4.alpha = 0;
addChild(myelement4);
new Idea of coding:
private function initElements() : void {
var myelement1 = new Element;
var myelement2 = new Element;
var myelement3 = new Element;
var myelement4 = new Element;
}
private function addToDisplay: void {
addChild(myelement1);
addChild(myelement2);
addChild(myelement3);
addChild(myelement4);
}
during the application controling the "view" of each elment with alpha
rather than adding them or removing them from the displaylist....
element1.alpha = 0
element2.alpha = 1
With the second idea when some one looks at the application it might be
easier for some one to read it than the first option...
