Re: [flexcoders] Fade from one color to another
Darron,
Thank you. Yes, I found your site. I was wondering if you'd notice that. ;)

Dorkie,
Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, been away from email. The reason
that grayish color appears is because of the way I am doing the fade. It
goes to the default color of the app, the one that is behind the background
color. I could show you how to get around it, but Darron's way is the
correct way. That was just a few minute hack job to get something goingJ
Actually I will probably use Darron's example to retrofit my old code.
Thanks Darron!

the middle of the transition? It looks like it fades from white to the
grayish color then to black. And the same from black to white.

Re: [flexcoders] Fade from one color to another
Dorkie, this one's for you:
http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000251.cfm
I see from your sample color values that you found my old ActionScript 1
code to fade colors ;-) I went ahead and turned the logic into a new
effect so you can easily apply color transitions in Flex 2.
Usage is as follows:

that sets the backgroundColor depending on where the effect is in its
lifetime (ie: simulate a progression from dark gray to light gray). I'm not
100% sure how that will work out but I'd be interested in finding out what
doesn't work about it.
Incidentally, you should check out Alex Uhlmann's Animation Package where
I think he has an effect that does exactly what you want. That will probably
be easier J

i see. that mostly works. except now it cycles through every color giving
a flicker effect like i am on acid. try this to see:

layout="absolute"

creationCompleteEffect="{fadeColor}">
If i change the fromValue and the toValue to a two digit number like so it
is a very smooth transition but it does not fade from white. It only fades
from blue. Try this:

I need to fade my application background color from 0xC47D31 to 0x67DEF9
and I have no idea where to start. I've seen AS2 actionscript around that I
can try to convert but what I'm looking for is a already built MXML
component Effect, similar to mx:Fade or Dissolve.
I tried this and received errors:
creationCompleteEffect="{fadeColor}">
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property backgroundColor not found on
TestApplication and there is no default value.

RE: [flexcoders] Fade from one color to another
Ah - that is because AnimateProperty is just cycling through all the RGB
values between your fromValue color and your endValue color. What you
may want to do is add an event handler for the tweenUpdate event on the
AnimateProperty effect instance and check to see what the value passed
in the TweenEvent object is. That value is what the backgroundColor is
at that moment in the lifetime of the effect. You can then add in your
own logic that sets the backgroundColor depending on where the effect is
in its lifetime (ie: simulate a progression from dark gray to light
gray). I'm not 100% sure how that will work out but I'd be interested in
finding out what doesn't work about it.

where I think he has an effect that does exactly what you want. That

RE: [flexcoders] Fade from one color to another
Dorkie, I had done something like this before and I used a fade effect
in combination with the Color change. Try this and let me know if this
is what you want to see... It has one problem, it fades the children as
well, but I had gotten around that, I just don't remember exactly how.
I'll dig up the code :-) Let me know if this is what you wanted to
achieve first. Also, using an animateProperty to change the background
color of the application in this example is overkill. I would be much
more efficient to set the style with actionscript in the effectEnd event
on the first alpha fade (or something similar)...
Note , this == Application. I used it on the creationCompleteEffect of
the Application.
