im using the tween class within a class and having trouble getting the .onMotionFinished of the tween to recognize or relate back to the scope of the class.so if i had
Code:
var t1:Tween = new Tween(myClip, "_alpha", None.easeNone, 0, 100, 1, true);
t1.onMotionFinished=function()
[code]......
Now 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.
View 5 RepliesWhat I want to do is tween a number from lets say 0 to 50 using the Tween class. The below is an example of my tween but it wasn't working (*NOTE* i'm using TweenExtended but if you change the tween to Tween only it will be the same thing, i just have a habit of using the TweenExtended class):

I'm having some problems importing a class, the message that Flash gives me is this; The class being compiled, 'ImageLoader', does not match the class that was imported, '[URL]'. The only line of code in my flash movie is this: import com.martijndevisser.*; And yes, the class is in that folder The class is from here: [URL] I've used the class before and it works fine, I just dont know what to do?
View 4 RepliesI have a movie clip that is rotated when a button is clicked:
Quote:
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);
}
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);}
[code]....
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.
I don't have much action script experience at all but If someone could point me in the right direction it would be awesome....I have an image gallery supplied from xml. I want to add a tween to each image as it opens, so far it works on only the first image, I'm guessing I need to create a mc for each image that is loaded so each mc can have a tween? I really need some direction this is what I have so far:

I have four movie clips on the stage. Each has an onRelease function to tween it to a certain position on the stage using the Tween class.How do I disable the onRelease handler for the other three movie clips WHILE the fourth movie clip is in the process of tweening?[code]If I press Clip1 and it starts moving, how do I diasble clips 2 to 4 UNTIL clip1 is safely in position _y = 70 and it's _xscale is 200 when they then become enabled? I have tried various if/else statements and also the onMotionStarted listener without, well, most of my hair is gone now!
View 12 RepliesI came across this code for a set of navigation _mcs:
Code:

when I click each _mc one by one it works flawlessly but roll over them all at the same time and they all refuse to tween down to 100% scale.
I have been experementing a little with the tween class and there is this one effect that I have been trying to create but with no luck. Is it possible to use the tween class with easing to have a mc flip into position? Here's an example of what I mean.

I have a flash project that consists of a container swf with a navigation menu that loads other swf files into a container movieclip. One clip that is loaded uses the tween class to daisy-chain together an introduction animation. It works fine the first time it is run, but if the user selects another section and then goes back to the introduction section, the tweens from the last instance of the introduction swf continue to run as well as the new ones. It seems that flash is running two instances of the same tween, even though they exist in the exact same path.
So far, I have tried unloading the each swf before loading a new one, calling removeMovieClip() and on the container clip, and then dynamically making a new container clip each time a new section is selected, and setting all of the tweens in the intro as _global variables, in hopes that they would overwrite the previous tweens. I've tried rewinding each tween and deleting them before starting a new instance of the intro animation, to no avail.
i have 5 moviecip in the stage and i am scaling them to 100% i would like to delay each one so let say first one animate when reach 50% the next movieclip start growing an so on ...
