I use Flex 4 SDK in ActionScript3,like follows: import mx.effects.Tween.easing.Quintic ...... tween.easingFunction = Quintic.easeInOut; when I compile above code,it raise error: Not define: mx.effects.Tween.easing:Quintic I have put framework.swc into classpath.What is the package of Quintic?
View 2 RepliesI have a String variable named type. It is supposed to hold the easing type that is used for Tweening, so for example var type:String = "Regular. easeInOut"; I then want to be able to use the variable when creating a new tween, such as:yTween = new Tween (this," y",type ,startCoord, finishCoord,duration,true); I tried to use this[type] etc. but couldnt get it to work. Any suggestions?

View 4 RepliesCS4: Motion Tween With Multiple Eases?
well, In Flash CS3, it was actually possible to give an easing instruction to each segment (keyframes) of an animation. In Flash CS4, in between two frames of an Motion Tween, isn't it possible anymore? I'm trying but the easing instruction applies only for the entire Motion Tween.
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 just started working with the CS4 motion editor, and it is proving to be a distinctly infuriating experience. I want to tween the z-index of a movie clip from -200 ('out' of the screen) to 0 with the Spring easing applied, but there's a problem; the dotted curve showing the ease never moves past the zero line, and only ends up about three quarters of the way towards the z=0 value I want. So effectively, I'm only tweening my clip from z=-200 to z=-60, or thereabouts.
I'm sure there's a trick I'm missing here. How do I get the tween, with the Spring ease, to finish at the value I've specified?
ive been searching around about tween class easing in as2 and ive found this great tutorial URL...need a help though, im not really a actionscript programmer, but i wanted to modify this code:Code:import mx.transitions.Tween;[code]how would i modify the code so my objects not only goes on a straight line(_x like in the code from 0x to 400x), what if i wanted a diagonal direction, it will start in x and ends in y?

So usually I can get my motion exactly the way I want it but I'm not satisfied with the easing motion I am currently using.

It's basically a scrolling content type motion I am looking for. Click a button content scrolls revealing the proper section on the y axis. Anyway, the motion just isn't fluid enough for my liking. Any tips or a different equation to make it more fluid.

Ok so I found this nice code over at Prototype. Its a function for Aligning to stage on Resize. [URL] It works really nice on its own but I was hoping to add some tweened easing as an additional optional parameter. (I posted there twice asking for help to no avail =( So I am asking here at Kirupa. What I wish to add is - implementing and adding an "easing" function as part of the current function. Something generalized to be called only if desired and the ability to set the ease type, duration, maybe prop etc.. (or whatever needed to make it work)
I have tried all kinds of things and below is as close as I can come (at least the only thing I can do to get the thing to move, although as you will see it works backwards and I can only get it to work using stage.width, stage.height, however I have tried newX oldX and all kinds of other things and cant seem to get things to move.

Is there an online cheat-sheet to graphs of common tween / easing functions? I want a bookmark I can refer to when picking a function for a tween (e.g., Quintic, Quadratic, "Bounce"). The only one I can do in my head easily is linear.
View 1 Repliesim trying to create this custom menu a bit more efficiently. As written, it operates fine glitch free. However, id like to incorporate some easing into the movement of each movie clip.
[code]...
how to incorporate tween classes and then easing?
I've built a code to cyclically move a scene on the bottom of my stage; I've done this to make a slowing-and-stop-easing effect at anytime the command will arrive. The entire scene mc is _x long something like 6000 px. The whole code goes in this way:
1) importing on the stage (with attachMovie) a mc with this code inside:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_parent._parent.fondo_mc._x -= countermovement;
if (_parent._parent.fondo_mc._x <= -5800) {[code].....
The code goes right, but I need to improve it.Now there is just a variable, I tought to use two vars to implement the whole code in a setInterval, but maybe it's unuseful, and actually I can't use it in the right way.
Second issue: actually when slowAndStop function is called the scene slow too fast, if I take it to 15 it slow better but the scene is running too fast...
The best would be that the scene slow down and stop following: A) a temporal variable (and I can try to implement it with setInterval, that for istance is a cycle)
B) an indipendent moving variable, so that on one side I set the speed, on the other side I set the slow-and-stop in a matter of time with countermovement.I also tried to use a second variable:
var counter:Number = 15;
// set the _x increment
var countermovement:Number = counter/2;
but the scene slow and goes backward a bit
I'm familiar with how to ease something in using motion math. Easing out would not be that bad either. But how would I script something easing in half way, then easing out the second half? It would start slow, gradually move faster, then slow to a stop at the end. - almost like a sine wave I guess?

View 1 Repliesi am wondering if there is a way to put a delay (seconds) on the flashs' native tween class like you can on the laco tween engine... such as
[Code]...
If 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!
I will have three seperate pages for the motion tween, mask effect and shape tween... would you make the seperately, in a different scene, as a symbol or on the same scene with the website.

I am facing a problem in one of my animation with flash CS4 - I have nested a Shape Tween in a Motion tween to get more control over the easers and effects, unfortunately I am not able to view on the timeline of my Motion Tween the action of the Shape tween nested inside.
It only show the first shape of the Shape Tween during the entire Motion Tween and that is really a problem for me because I need to see the final frame result of that Shape tween to be able to position it in a precise way on my scene according to other instances.

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 working on to slide a movieclip across the stage.The movie clip is five times the width of the stage and I am using the Tween Class to move it across the stage when a button is pressed.The interaction I want is that when the button is pressed the movie clip moves a certain amount.If the button is pressed again it moves further.The script I have come up with though is taking the movieclip back to the original position of the movieclip and then moving it as opposed to moving it from the position it reached after the first button click.I have tried a few things but nothing is working.The script I am using at present is:[code]
View 5 RepliesI'm making a "master movie" for an assignment and I'm stuck right now. What I've got is an Intro page that will serve at the Parent.swf to load 4 other child swf's upon a mouse click. The problem is I have a theater stage where I tweened an animation to make it appear the curtain on the stage is going up but once it reaches it maximum height....the tween abruptly stops. I want it to HOLD there until a user clicks a button.
How would I make this happen? Here is the page in question: [URL]...
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.
I am using System.security.allowDomain in both files.The tween in movie2 fails to work when the swf loads from an external domain. However, it works perfectly when this swf is loaded locally. Also strange is that the movie2 tween does work externally if the tween libraries are commented out of movie1.The Challenge: Get both the red and blue boxes to fall when movie2.swf is loaded from an external domain.[code]
