The other major difference is easily shown:
Place a movieClip on stage.
Give it an onRelease handler:
clip.onRelease=function(){trace(Release!);}

Test your movie - click on it, and Release! is traced.

Set clip._alpha to 0

Test the movie - click on where the clip should be, and Release! is traced.

Set clip._visible=false
Test the movie - click on where the clip should be, and nothing
happens. The clip has effectively been removed from the drawing
heirarchy completely.

 when we load a picture or swf ,like this:

 this.createEmptyMovieClip(container_mc,0);
 container_mc.loadMovie(test.jpg);
 container_mc._alpha =0 ;
 you can see nothing in the scene.because of ._alpha =0;
 but if you

 you can see the test.jpg on the scene._visible = false
 do nothing.

 i want to kown ,what the other different between them.

Re: [Flashcoders] What's different between _alpha=0 and _visible =flase;

2006-04-06 Thread Kalle Thyselius, Inlovewith

i have a related question

what is the difference between
- setting _visible = false on a clip
and
- structuring the flash movie so i go to a frame where that same
movieclip is removed.


see what i mean? i always have a pretty massice _root.content_mc with,
say,  intro_mc, section1_mc, section2_mc inside it.

i always set _visible = false on all the clips i'm not currently
using, but it's sometimes tempting to have multiple frames in
_root.content_mc, one frame for intro_mc, one for section1_mc etc. to
save cpu.

does anyone know the difference between _visible = false and going to
a frame that hasn't got the clip.


ps. i have noticed how
intro_mc._y = - 2000
together with
intro_mc._visible = false

often gives better performance when showing for instance section1_mc.

but probably attachMovie and removeMovieClip is the best way to go at
this problem, in order to get the best performance?

thanks,

kalle

when only setting _visible to flase., all other belongings are accessible, 
all properties methods if it is forinstance subClass of MovieClip
if on frame where the MovieClip is not present, nothing of its property is 
accessible

so big difference, visualy almost none, though

Re: [Flashcoders] What's different between _alpha=0 and _visible =flase;

yeah sure, but performance wise, how much slower could _visible = false be?

if on frame where the MovieClip is not present, nothing of its property is
accessible

yes, but does that mean that everything else can get more attantion
from cpu, graphics etc?

Re: [Flashcoders] What's different between _alpha=0 and _visible =flase;

2006-04-06 Thread Dan Efergan

I've found that Attach and Removing Movieclips runs slower than  
hiding things off stage.  But the hassle is only worth it when  
working on performance critical work, such as games.


Also, _visible=false still referencing the object more so when on- 
screen than off.


There's a load of information in the mammoth forum post:

I kown that one different between _alpha=0 and _visible =flase.

when we load a picture or swf ,like this:

this.createEmptyMovieClip(container_mc,0);
container_mc.loadMovie(test.jpg);
container_mc._alpha =0 ;
you can see nothing in the scene.because of ._alpha =0;
but if you
container_mc_visible=false ;
you can see the test.jpg on the scene._visible = false
do nothing.

i want to kown ,what the other different between them.

Re: [Flashcoders] What's different between _alpha=0 and _visible =flase;

2006-04-05 Thread JesterXL

MovieClip's have security sandboxes.  As such, you are allowed to do 
certain commands and access on MovieClip's only if that MovieClip's contents 
reside in your approved security sandbox.  SWF's, JPEG's, FLV's, and now 
PNG's and GIF's all have abide by these rules.

My guess is, _alpha actually tells the container MovieClip, in this case 
_root, or container._parent, to blit the contents on it's display list 
whereas visible actually tells the MovieClip, container to render it's 
contents invisible.

One deals with the parent, one deals with the movieclip itself.  Just 
guessing; I didn't write the Flash Player, hehe!

Additionally, you can only set some properties of MovieClip's until their 
content has loaded AND taken 1 frame to initialize.  Since you are setting 
the visible property before the content is done, it'll adopt the new 
security sandbox settings when you load it.  If you waited 2 frames after 
the image is done loading, I bet it'd turn invisible.
