AmbientAttributes.alphaBlendTo

The alphaBlendTo method adjusts the alphaBlend property over a period of time.

Syntax

Parameters

newVal

Number (long) specifying the new opacity value. Ranges from 0 (no opacity) to 255 (full opacity).

alphaTime

Number (long) specifying the time, in milliseconds, that it takes the element to change opacity.

Return Values

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

This method is useful for making elements gradually appear or disappear.

When you use alphaBlendTo with a TEXT element that does not have the backgroundColor specified, a background color of black will be used. If the foreground color is also black (which is the default value for TEXT.foregroundColor), your text may become unreadable. In order to prevent this, always specify the backgroundColor attribute, or set foregroundColor to a color other than black.

Note This attribute is not supported in Windows 98.

Requirements

Windows Media Player 9 Series or later.
