Comments on: Fading two images using the CrossFade effect in Flex 4

How do you crossfade scaled images? I want to crossfade a scaled background-image, but the fading occurs with non-scaled images, and once the fade is done, snaps to scale.

Any ideas?

put an ‘effectEnd=’function” on the crossfade that sets your image source to the 2nd image

just stick your BitmapImage with second term of transition:
xFade.stop();
xFade.bitmapFrom = new FlexPlayerIcon().bitmapData;
xFade.bitmapTo = new FlashPlayerIcon().bitmapData;
xFade.play();
logo.source = new FlashPlayerIcon().bitmapData;

There should be a block containing my CrossFade. The target of the CrossFade is an mx:Image that didnt show up either.

I am seeing the jump to the initial image that bobby is talking about. Relevant code:

if (i == timer.repeatCount) {
clazz = resourceManager.getClass(‘assets’, ‘dash_article_7′);
bitmapFrom = new clazz().bitmapData;
clazz = resourceManager.getClass(‘assets’, ‘dash_article_1′);
bitmapTo = new clazz().bitmapData;
dash_numbers.selectedIndex = 0;

} else {
clazz = resourceManager.getClass(‘assets’, ‘dash_article_’+i);
bitmapFrom = new clazz().bitmapData;
clazz = resourceManager.getClass(‘assets’, ‘dash_article_’+(i+1))
bitmapTo = new clazz().bitmapData;

}

xFade.stop();
xFade.bitmapFrom = bitmapFrom;
xFade.bitmapTo = bitmapTo;
xFade.play();
