Element Fade in after Load optional...

[CainVampyr]

This is a simple change, like the "fadein" property from the book it would be nice to have a similar switch for pages after being loaded.

For now we'r hacking the AbstractElement with the following:


(...)
public function init():void {
  (...)
        if (!pageside.unloadAfterThumb && pageside.visible) {
            if (MegaZine(megazine).settings.getSetting('fadein')) {
                alpha = 0;
                //*
                var t:ITween = new AlphaTween(0.125, this, 1);
                lec_.add(t, Event.COMPLETE, handleFadeInComplete,
                        LECUtil.AUTO_REMOVE);
                t.start();
                //*/
            } else dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));
        }
  (...)
}
(...)


Aint perfect but did the trick for now

I changed the AbstractElement class as you suggested, but with this hack, you get rid of the Event.COMPLETE, and it causes problems.

IMHO, 2 solutions

1) alpha=1 , and the alphaTween runs for nothing
2) get rid of :
if (!pageside.unloadAfterThumb && pageside.visible) {
(...)
}

and replace it by :
dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE))

what do you mean i got rid of the event? It's right there...

If the 'fadein' is set it will run the regular course other wise it will dispatch the event immediately.
Aren't you adding a listener for that event to late or something?

if (MegaZine(megazine).settings.getSetting('fadein')) {
   // This is what it's supposed to do by default
   alpha = 0;
   var t:ITween = new AlphaTween(0.125, this, 1);
   lec_.add(t, Event.COMPLETE, handleFadeInComplete,
   LECUtil.AUTO_REMOVE);
   t.start();
} else {
    // Trigger the event right now since ther's no animation...
    dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));
}

Added an attribute book@elementsfadein which controls just that.

Nice, again thank you kindly for the update!

Keep up the good work
