Method 2: Blurry Cat using ActionScript Fading

If you have used the Tweening Method (1) and followed all the steps above you have finished your Movie. For Method 2 you need to complete Steps 1 to 5 above except for step 4.

Step Six: The Button ActionScript

1. Select the invisible button by clicking on it: Button
2. Open the Actions Panel and type the following code:

on (rollOver) { //when you rollover set the variable dir (which stands for "direction of fade"). In this case a dir of 1 will make the "Cat Fader" clip fade in (see below to see how dir affects the fading).
    _root.dir = 1;
}
on (rollOut) { //upon rollout, change dir to -1 for a fadeout of "Cat Fader" (see below...)
    _root.dir = -1;
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
    trace("Meow!"); //put your code to do something, like gotoAndPlay to another frame of your choice, here.
}
