EventHandler: fading out before doing...

Hello everybody

I would like the current page to fade out before another html page is loaded into the browser when clicking a link button.

So I suppose the event handler needs to call a tween function, get the information when alpha of the main movieclip is 0, and then call the new URL.

My wonder is how to make the handler read the alpha value of the main movieclip until it is 0, so that it can act upon it.

Furthermore I am not sure where to place the tweening function, if it should go in the document class, or in the AS3 of the button, which is on the timeline of the mc containing the button.

Thank you for your thoughts

try adding a fade effect to the current page and write a handler for the event?''effect end'' associated with fade effect to load the html file?.

if this works tell me bcoz iam not sure about it.

If you create a tween function you can assign an event listener to the tween to listen for the MOTION_FINISH event and have that process changing to the new URL.?If you look into the Tween class in the help documents you can find all of the events that can be listened for.

Thank you for your response and hint

I did not get it working yet, but will elaborate on it further.

It is working now. For everybody who is interested here is what I did (At times, I am happy when I find such basic things in forums, possibly others are as well)

to the document class I added

?public function MainFadeOut():void{
?var tweenPageFadeOut:Tween = new Tween(this, ''alpha'', None.easeNone, 1, 0, 2, true);
?tweenPageFadeOut.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, callURL);
?}
?public function callURL(e:TweenEvent):void{
?var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(''target.html'');
?navigateToURL(req, ''_self'');
?}

To the class of the calling mc I added the event listener in the constructor with a handler activating MainFadeOut() as public function.

Pretty simple, once one knows it
