I made a form and i want it to be invisible until the background's alpha is 100% and dissappear when the backgrounds alpha is anything other than 100.

reserv_form is the form
reservations_box is the background

this is what i have but it dosent work:

reserv_form._alpha = 0;

if (reservations_box._alpha = 100){
	reserv_form._alpha = 100;
} else if(reservations_box._alpha =! 100){
	reserv_form._alpha = 0;
}

You are doing an assignment, not a comparison.

if (reservations_box._alpha = 100)

To see if it is equal to 100, you need to use ==

if (reservations_box._alpha == 100)

FOr your else if aswell, i would use a < symbol instead. Plus, its != not =!

I changed what u told me to change and it still didn't work. But when I put a number less then 100, for the if statement the form was gone but never came up when the background was at 100% alpha.

try

reserv_form._alpha = 0;

if (reservations_box._alpha > 99){
	reserv_form._alpha = 100;
} else if(reservations_box._alpha <= 99){
	reserv_form._alpha = 0;
}

heres the site if u wanna actually see what i'm talking bout http://designefex.com/Home.swf

The form is visible and when you click reservation that white box that pops up is the background

Ok, just looked at some of your code, and your using AS2. Lets try something else. Firstly, turning the alpha on and off may hint to a bit of a design issue. Really, you should just make the whole form a movieclip, and add it to its own frame, and then goto this frame if the button is clicked. But for now, try this instead.

Firstly, your form isnt even being set invisible from the start using this line

reserv_form._alpha = 0;

So there is something going wrong here. I take it reserv_form is the actual form, and not the white box. So, instead, try

reserv_form._visible = false;

See if that works for now

ok i changed it and it now is invisible, but it doesnt show up when the box comes up

now should change this

reserv_form._visible = false;
 
if (reservations_box._alpha > 99){
    reserv_form._alpha = 100;
} else if(reservations_box._alpha <= 99){
    reserv_form._alpha = 0;
}

to this?

reserv_form._visible = false;
 
if (reservations_box._alpha > 99){
    reserv_form._visible = true;
} else if(reservations_box._alpha <= 99){
    reserv_form._visible = false;
}

[nick2price]

might be better to do

reserv_form._visible = false;
	  
if (reservations_box._visible == true){ //might try alpha if this dont work
    reserv_form._visible = true;
} else{
    reserv_form._visible = false;
}

i got it, but is there any way to delay the "reserv_form._visible = true;" a certain number of frames?
