thanks Chokethefat, the interview went alright, the guy wanted a full time person, but he doesn't seem like he had the budget so I talked him into a shorter contract to see. I don't want to jump from one crappy job to the next. It's a 4 months contract job. Hopefully I won't ahve to worry about money for another 3 months.
hey I work really odd hours so if you want to hang out during the day. let me know.
my cell is 416.200.2289. I can show you around. i've been in TO for about 13 years, but haven't been to too many places.
cheers

The more tweens the bigger the fileSize. If you have heaps of buttons (like at the bottom of suction) then you are going to have a considerably larger movie than a scripted version. Plus these scripts, although daunting at first (i suck at scripting, and flash's new event model scares the hell out of me) are quite simple and effective applications of the kind of (non-timeline-based) actionScripting that is always going to make for a better quality product. So although the tween rollOvers might suit your purpose for now, i'd go and have a play with the scripty ones just for the simple fact that they will help your personal development... i did:)

as a coder i usually default to coding, if at least for how muc hyou can customize, but here's my question..
Which works most solid for the viewer when it comes to alpha tweeens vs changing the alpha via AS?
I've made tons of fade in fade out scripts for images, buttons whatever, and no matter how much i streamline my code, once in a while something will really take forever to fade... just nto as smooth.. especially with multiple elements..
So even though more costly on size, are tweens generally smoother, or is there any difference at all?

Thats a very interesting point, I've come across things like that before, especially when it comes to things like easing and momentum. I think anyhting achieved by tweening can be identically achievd with script, although the time that u put into testing and finie tuning might well make it impractivcle, and unprofitable.

well guys, dealing with _alpha *does* eat up system resources quickly, no matter how you go about it (script or timeline).
however, if you set an _alpha through scripting, it knows what to value to set it at. if -- on the other hand -- you do it with tweening on the stage, it has to calculate all the in-between stages. so, in this case, scripting 'should' be less demanding on system resources.
but it all depends on what you're doing, and how you do it.
someone mentioned that having lots of tweenable movie clips on the stage (let's say, 30 for example) would tend to bloat the file size. that's not necessarily true -- if you do it properly.
no matter how you do the fade in/out, i would recommend using the 'attachMovieClip()' method to pull a single movie clip (or button) out of the library, and place it on stage.
that way you only make 1. it saves time (future changes) AND it saves on download times.

Thats an excellent suggestion hollowcube. In my rush to take sides I didn't think how loving a marrigae mrs.script and mr.timeline could make for themselves. Bravo

hollowcube is indeed a wise dude.
I'm not worthy to post in this thread anymore :-(

nonsense piperboytoy, u have just as much right to post as the rest of us, how else we get brainy but by asking questions and promoting discussion (and you've proven yourself to be a master at that:) well done...

hey piperboytoy, thanks for the compliment, but don't get down on yourself! your work is great.
i love to share what might help out the community. sorry if i ever come across as 'rude' -- i'm really not. i'm just passionate about what i believe in.
feel free to disagree with whatever posts i write :-) discussion is good.
- piperboytoy0
ok now I post.
Actually I never expected a great debate to come out of my little thread. But it's interesting to read about everyone's opinion.
HOllow, I don't think you are rude, you said that you will post the code when you get home and you did, that is real awesome. most people say things they don't mean!
thanks for everything.
