AS2 :: Flash - Controlling A Tween From Outside A Function
Oct 8, 2010
i've defined a Tween object within a function, and i want to control that tween from another function.
This is the basic way i have the code set up currently:
// Define the function with my tween:
function updateSlide()
{
[Code].....
Now i'm sure it's not working because it's not within the same function, but what would you do to make this work? Some sort of global variable or global function? I'm not used to working in AS2, or with programming in general

I'm having some trouble with the attached file, I've tried lots of things but just can't seem to control the movie clip. On click on 'Detailing' from the landing page a new slide *slides onto the stage 'content3'. Within this I have added a separate graphic with a tween 'gr_detailcopytest'. I want it to start only when it lands within the main stage's masked area. I also want the tween to stop too after its played out. I have tried adding a stop action at the end of the tween but this stops the tween altogether - Furthermore, when I click on another menu item and go back to 'Detailing' I want the tween to start again.

I have a movieclip with multiple movieclips inside of it, and these movieclips' alpha changes over time(basically its a map with graphics nested within that light up certain areas of the map). By change I mean they "flash" ond and off once. I have each of these counties in an array and I have a timer and for loop firing on each of these mcs and I push them into the array. Problem is I keep getting an error (1009) after it runs through one cycle.... I of course need it to loop.
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.Strong;
import flash.utils.Timer;

I'm trying to find a function that will repeat my Rotational tween function. I found the yoyo() function to be what i want to do but i don't want the tween to change the rotation to CCW while originally moving CW. Basically i want the animation to move CW at a steady rate continuously.
I'm using the following code at the moment, i'm not too sure if this is the most suitable code for this situation, maybe im off track.
From my thoughts, i assumed that i would need to put the stars function in a onEnterFrame to repeat the animation and change yoyo() to continueTo() function. or maybe some sort of if statement in the stars function?
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var stars:Tween = new Tween(ring, "_rotation", Regular.easeInOut, 0, 360, 4, true);

I dont really know if I can put this into words correcly so I'm including enough code(AS3) to show what I mean. I can see the results from my trace statement so I know my function is ok, but I'm seeing an error once I try to make my MC disappear. Need something inplace of "this.lowerThird_mc.visible = false;". Also, I should note that this code is in a MC that is on the stage where the other MC is.
function onCuePoint(infoObject:Object):void
{
if (infoObject.name == 'CuePoint5')
{

Have been struggeling for days now , I have in the _root a function called elastic and then on the stage a movieclip containing 9 smaller clips called t1 --> t9, these movieclips are each at a different y-axis and when this function is called they appear (slide) in, but now I want to slide in t1-->t4 at _x = 200 and t6-->t9 at _x=400, how can i do this within this function/code?
Code:
mc = ["t1", "t2", "t3", "t4", "t5", "t6", "t7", "t8", "t9"];
var i = 0;
while (i < mc.length)

I have created 3 movieclip buttons which have a total of 3 states eachUP, OVER and Pressed.What i am wanting to do is create a fuction that will change the state of an already pressed button back to its UP state. For exampleButton one is press and will stay in its state untill button 2 or 3 are presses then it will revert back to its up state.My way of tackling the problem was to target a frame in the movie clip that I wanted to change such as this:
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("ee");
}

In the FLA file i have two animations of a turbine and a fan turning one is controlled via a button the other is a loop action that is not controlled.The button control is simple telling the movie clips to got frame 2 and play,and on the fan and turbine movie clips I have a goto and play frame 2 action the end of their time line. By doing this I get a rotation effect .
The problem is that when I call play function from the start button the movie clip does not play properly and just shudders between frames,rather than way it should run as a looped animation.

I have a main timeline and on frame 6 I have a game1_mc to be controlled from the main timeline, that has start drag on it. The cursor changes to a hand but the movieClip won't drag. Could someone tell me how to get this to work? After trying many things, I currently have on a frame on the main timeline:
game1_mc.purpleTri.onPress=function() {

I need to write a function which should fix the location of the movie clip on the stage.
public function setCoOrdinates(xpos:Number,ypos:Number,movieName:S tring):Void
{
eval(movieName)._x=xpos;
eval(movieName)._y=ypos;
}
My function is as above. While I use this function in flash I only see the last movieclip on the stage which was passed. Movieclips passed earlier seem to have disappeared from the screen.
setCoOrdinates(20,200,"bButton_mc");
setCoOrdinates(530,100,"fButton_mc");
I see only "fButton_mc" on the stage. Even though I set different xpos and yposs for the movie clip.

I'm using the tweener class but I'm not sure how to accomplish what this. What I'm after is to pan the object "img" to one side, than pan back, and repeat.[code]...
But what would be the best way to run the check on the first tween action, fire the second when the first it done, and repeat the whole thing when the second is done. Should this be a while loop? Or some kind of event listener?

I have a movie clip which is brought on to the stage by a tween function called introTween. After the introTween has finished, it has an eventhandler inside it which calls on 2 new tween functions to start. These are tweenX function which contains the myTweenX tween and tweenY function which contains the myTweenY tween. these functions loop round to keep the movie clip floating along the bottom of the stage. The movie clip can be dragged by the user. The problem I have is that when the user drags the movie clip during the introTween the dragIt function is called (see below) and when called its looking to stop the myTweenX and myTweenY tweens. However, because the introTween function hasn't finished, and thus hasn't called the tweenX and tweenY functions...then the dragIt function can't find myTweenX and myTweenY to stop(). how I would go about solving this problem? Is there some sort of IF condition I can put in the dragIt function which looks at whether the tweenX and tweenY functions have started or even the myTweenX and myTweenY tweens have started?

I've got a tween which is called using an ENTER_FRAME event listener, as I need the movieclip to constantly tween until it's selected. However, the tween isn't very smooth, it's very jumpy and I'm guessing this has got something to do with the ENTER_FRAME event being constantly called. Is there a better way of creating a smoother tween?
Here's my code...
ActionScript Code:this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, ballFloat);private function ballFloat(event:Event):void { var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "x", Regular.easeOut, this.x, randomXBoundary, 10, true); TweenX = myTweenX; }// end of ballFloat function

I have a number of cases where I have a tween happening in ActionScript, but I would like it to happen after a delay from the event that triggers it. At the moment I'm creating this delay by having a tween that does nothing (eg. an "_x" tween for which the start and end points are the same) and then using tween1.onMotionFinished = function(){to create the one I really want. Is there a way to create this delay more neatly?
