Movieclip: Fadein And Fadeout, Fades independent of movie timeline. Options

[gsb]

PURPOSE:
These two prototypes are applied to a movieclip to fade it in/out independent of the movie timeline and frame rate. Upon fading out the movieclip's _visibility attribute is set to false.

PROTOTYPE:

CODE

movieclip.prototype.fadeIn=function(a,s) {
    if(typeOf(a)!="number") a=1;
    if(typeOf(s)!="number") s=50;
    if(!this._visible) this._visible=true;
    if(this.gsbLoop) clearInterval(this.gsbLoop);
    this.gsbLoop=setInterval( function() {
            if((arguments[0]._alpha+=arguments[1])>=100) {
                arguments[0]._alpha=100;
                clearInterval(arguments[0].gsbLoop);
            }
            updateAfterEvent();
        }, s, this, a );
};
movieclip.prototype.fadeOut=function(a,s) {
    if(typeOf(a)!="number") a=1;
    if(typeOf(s)!="number") s=50;
    if(this.gsbLoop) clearInterval(this.gsbLoop);
    this.gsbLoop=setInterval( function() {
            if((arguments[0]._alpha-=arguments[1])<=0) {
                arguments[0]._alpha=0;
                arguments[0]._visible=false;
                clearInterval(arguments[0].gsbLoop);
            }
            updateAfterEvent();
        }, s, this, a );
};

USAGE: movieclip.fadeIn( amount, speed ); and movieclip.fadeOut( amount, speed );
Where: amount is the movieclip's _alpha property increment or decrement, and
speed is the number of milliseconds between changes.

EXAMPLE:

CODE

movieclip.fadeIn( 1, 50 );
