Legacy UDK Programming and UnrealScript

I just did not even use it lol : P. Any help ?

2

The way I do this is by giving the movie a RenderTexture, and then when I draw the RenderTexture, I set the opacity there.

3

OH… well I can do that or make an animation.,… it is a text field. AS2

Unrealscript:
SetVariableNumber(“my_alpha”, 100);

Flash:
var my_alpha = 0;
my_flash_object.alpha = my_alpha;

You can also run a flash function from unrealscript, which is faster, I rarely bother with that though as most of my UI updates nearly every frame anyway, so I just set the alpha every frame.

So it’s some sort of protected variable or some … ?

6

With _alpha it would disappear from US but alpha would not work…

7

why dont you make opacity directly inside flash. you can set the opacity for any movie clip. this is how I do.

I will try… But I see it’s ah tedious work around… :eek: or wtvr…
