So here is my script. As you can see I have tween class starting point at 900. Is there any way to make it begin the tween where ever my MC's current _x and _y are?on (release) {
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import mx.transitions.Tween;
var tw1:Tween = new Tween(picture, "_x", Regular.easeIn, 900, 69, 1, true);
var tw2:Tween = new Tween(picture, "_y", Regular.easeIn, 900, 106, 1, true);
}
is it true that I cannot set the position of a dynamic text using AS? And that I have to convert it into a movie clip first?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to find out if there is way through TweenLite to continuously check the Y position of my movieclip as it's tweening?I have my movie clip tweening from point A to point C and while it's passing B, I want something to happen (right now I'm just running a trace). I've tried using the onUpdate function but it's only tracing the original Y position everytime
View 1 RepliesNow I am using the Tween Class to move some boxes in my movie, now I can move the first mc and then another mc after the first tween has finished with onMotionFinished but I was hoping someone could help with how do I start the second tween when the first mc has passed a certain _x coordinate. ie starting the second mc moving while the first tween is still moving.
View 1 RepliesIf i have a clip with a bunch of stuff inside it (on layers) like other clips, bitmaps, etc. and perform a tween on that clip (via tween class), the stuff inside the clip seems to alpha at different rates.
For instance, i have a clip with an empty movieclip which loads a bitmap image and on top of the bitmap image, i have a gradient feathered edge (.png) bitmap and on top of that I have some dynamic text (embedded fonts).
The bitmap is supposed to create a feathered edge on the photo but since they alpha at different rates, you always see the hard edge of the photo...
is there a solution like cacheAsBitmap which would let the whole clip alpha at once? If it's cacheAsBitmap, i must be using it incorrectly, b/c it's not working!
Am trying to use the Tween class to scale and move a movieclip. Now the movieclip is within the loader, so I need the motion to be controlled by the percentage loaded. Now the code to move the movieclip to its final position is:
var xscaletween:Tween = new Tween(mstone, "_xscale", Regular.easeOut, mstone._xscale, 220, 6, true);
But this is the final location, I want to be able to change the properties of xscaletween, yscaletween, xmovetween and ymovetween as per percentage loaded.As in, within this final boundary limit of the tween, I want, for example, xscaletween, to scale only till 140 till percentage hits 50. Is this possible?? If not is there a workaround?Or do I have to use new tweens within each percentage limit?
I am trying to understand the thinking behind motion tweening using AS3 (rather than doing it on the timeline).I am trying to create a simple platform game, and while this is simply a learning project, I have an movieclip instance on the stage, and using basic x+5 logic I can get the instance to move left and right on the stage accordingly.Trying to make the instance 'jump' is a bit trickier. This is the code I am using:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;[code].....
I thought this code would move the instance from it's current y-position and tween it to it's highest jump point. From here I planned to use a MOTION.FINISH event to tell it to tween back to it's original position.Something strage happens though, rather than tween from the current y position and move up, the instance instantly transforms it's position to y+100 and then tween back to the original position. So it kind of turns out that it is the second part of the jumping action that I want to create.
Is there any way to make a movie clip start at a given x and y point, and ends at another x and y point, in 90 seconds?m not getting a good result.The main problem is, I want the movie clip to travel along a straight line. And by this code below the "b" movie clips makes some curves.Heres what Ive done.
"p" is point movie clip
"b" is ball movie clip
fullTime = 90000;_currentTime = fullTime;oldTime = undefined;onEnterFrame = function () {if
[code]........
If you try to make a movie clip travel along a rectangle diagonal within 90 seconds, the movie clip makes some curves.

Flex has great classes for manipulating with controls in multiscreen apps like VBox, HBox, VGroup etc. But my project is in Flash Proffesional CS5.
View 1 RepliesI am looking for a simple scrolling thumbnail class written in AS2. Does anyone know of any tutorials or code samples anywhere? I can't seem to locate one. I have written one but I have a problem. My thumbnails are 100px x 100px. When I have more than like 36 (can't remember the exact number), my mask (which masks a bit on the left and the right side of the horizontal thumbnail scroller) no longer works. I found out that there is a max pic size for flash so I'm assuming that I am exceeding that max pic size which causes the mask to not work when I breach that size.

I have a movie clip that is rotated when a button is clicked:

mc_rightBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onRotateRight);
function onRotateRight(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var myTweenRotation:Tween = new Tween(mc_gallery, "rotation", Elastic.easeOut, 0, 90, 5, true);

The problem I have is that when the the right button (mc_rightBtn) is clicked again, the rotation starts from the original position. Ideally I would like the rotation to continue from its current position.
where's the tween class?
View 7 RepliesI've started using the Tween class as I find it to be a really quick way to create some smooth animations. However, what I would like to do is have a sequence of many different objects animating into the scene, but all using the Tween class.Now if they were all to animate in at the same time that would be fine - but what I would like to achieve is each object to animate in one at a time, so once 1 object has finished, the next one then animates in etc etc over until all 7 are animated in. I've read up a little on using continueTo etc but not sure how to get this to affect different mc's instead of self.
View 2 Repliesextending the tween class?
View 6 RepliesSo I'm actually doing something very simple here, but it's my first attempt at tweening things through code rather than on the timeline, so I'm pretty new at this. Basically I have a small image gallery, all the thumbnails are butted up against one another in a grid. When you roll over an image, the title should tween to reveal itself below the image. I have it set up so that both the image and title are in one movie clip, with the image on the top layer.
My code does work when you move your mouse slowly, however when you roll over and out really fast, the whole thing freaks out a little, and the titles don't tween back properly, they actually stay exposed even though they shouldn't. It looks like they kind of tween back, then pop out again, with out a tween. I linked to my current swf file so you can see for yourself. [URL].
Here is an example of my code which is iterated for every image.
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,onMC);
MC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,offMC);
var myTween:Tween;
MC.buttonMode = true;
function onMC(event:MouseEvent):void{
myTween = new Tween (MC.title,"y",Strong.easeOut,94.5,138,.65,true);
} function offMC(event:MouseEvent):void{
myTween = new Tween (MC.title,"y",Strong.easeIn,138,94.5,.35,true);
}

var adobeTween:Tween = new Tween(adobe_mc, "alpha", Regular.easeOut, 0, 1, 3, true);//second tween
how can I animate the 2nd tween after 3 seconds when 1st tween stops.
I'm trying to animate the mc in my fla with the tween class (specifically have it fade from 0 to 100 transparency [left-to right] as it moves). I'm not really a coder and more animation-based. If I was to create a variable (say named "Transp", how would the rest of the declaration look in AS2?

I have a movie clip (box) with a text box embedded in it. I want it to expand and move to the middle of the stage when the user places the mousepointer over top of it. When the mouse is moved off I want the movie clip to return to its original position. My code almost works. The MOUSE_OUT works and returns the movieclip to its original position but the MOUSE_OVER causes the movie clip to bounce to the center of the stage, return to the original position and then bounce back to the center of the stage before coming to rest at the center location. I just want it to go directly to the center of the stage.
Also, if I have 25 movieclips like this, is there anyway that I can capture the xy coordinates of the current movieclip that is being clicked on so that I can use the same code for each movieclip to expand and move it to the center of the stage and return them to their original . I am assuming that I would have to capture the name of the current movieclip being clicked on, in a variable and capture the initial x and y coordinates in two other variables. Can I then use these variables in the following Tween statements? Not sure how to code it so that the statement will read the contents of these variables and use them as paramenters in this routine.
square1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,tex ter);
function texter(e:MouseEvent):voidn
{
new Tween(square1, "x", Regular.easeIn, square1.x, stage.stageWidth/2, 1, true);

It was supposed to be an easy code but i can't make it work until now.I want my intro texts to get scaled to a certain postion when clicked .So far this is what I have done,
var scaleTo:Number = 0.6;
var introTexts:Array = [...];
for(var i:int = 0;i<introTexts.length;i++){ introTexts[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onintroClick);}

Right now,this code doesn't do anything, I can trace out "click" but nothing happen. I tried out the first item from the array first to make sure the code is working. The x position I want is -15 and y is 300.
I am trying to move a movieclip down using Actionscript. Then when a user fires a back event [which is successfully firing] the movieclip is then required to go up again. The code is:
trace("fholder _y org: " + folioholdermc._y);
// THIS COMES OUT TO BE -601
var yDown1:Tween = new Tween(folioholdermc, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, -601, -449, 3, true);
trace("step 1 called");
trace("fholder _y down1: " + folioholdermc._y);

I'm trying to make a "pan" efect (I'm not sure if this is pan) in flash (as3) where you have an image bigger than the mask where it is displayed (just horizontaly). It's a very simple effect, but I'm having trouble with the tweens. First, I tried with the tween class. But it ended up a mess with the speed of the tween (the parameter where you set the frames or seconds of the tween). The "begin" parameter is easy, is the x value of the object, no matters where is it.
The "end" parameter is easy too, is 0 or the end of the image, depending if you are on the left or right button (the tween begins when you are over those buttons and end with a stopTween when you are out of them or when the tween is over). The problem I'm facing it's the "duration" parameter: I want the same speed in all the tweens, no matters where it begins. Obviously, if I put a static value, if I'm in the middle of the image, the speed reduces to half.
So I'm trying to figure out how to create an algorithm to do this. I first tried something like calculating which percent of the image is the current "x" value:
If I am at 50%, make the tween in 50 frames.
If I am at 90%, make the tween in 10 frames.
If I am at 20%, make the tween in 80 frames.
But I think there should be a way to make it easier. Maybe I'm getting it wrong, and the tween class is not what I need... I'm just trying to make an displacement effect, always at the same speed (although an ease in and out until the speed is reached would be greater).
I've been looking for a way to delay a Tween using the AS3 Tween class instead of Tweener, Tweenlite, LMZ, etc. Most of the responses I've found declare Tweenlite the easiest and requiring the least amount of code. I finally found a solution for the Tween class:
Code:
// the masking code;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var twn:Tween = new Tween(my_clip,"width",Regular.easeInOut,1,300,1,true);
twn.stop(); // stop the tween right away,
setTimeout(twn.start,1000); // start the tween after 1 second;
And that's it. I wanted to share. One of the challenges I face in my agency is handing off code to someone else who doesn't have any of the tween libraries installed so I have to walk them through it. The Flash Tween Class is not so bad, if you ask me.
