ActionScript 3.0 :: Tween Then RemoveChild Class Questions?
Jul 10, 2009
I wanted to create a class that you send a display object to and it tweens out (lets just say fades out for now), and then removes it from it's parent, and nulls it. So this is what I came up with:
Code:
package com.TweenOut{
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
[code]...
but, i'm getting this error.. TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert com.Pages:esignPage@2786f9d1 to com.TweenOut.TweenKill.So, obviously it can't convert _livePage.. but.. am I misunderstanding the error, is it trying to convert it to com.TweenOut.TweenKill, or is it just not able to convert it to a DisplayObject like I assume??
Also, I should note that _livePage is a subclass of a custom class I wrote, and that class is a subclass of MovieClip.. Doesn't that mean that _livePage would be a DisplayObject? Does this have to do with calling the super() in either of those super classes?
I'm making great headway into understanding all of this as3 stuff, but some things still get me. I'm having trouble understanding the big picture, I feel like there has to be a better way to handle "page changes" or "section changes". For instance, am I doing it a weird way by making a class that tweens out anything I send to it? Should I just be doing the tween and removal inside the class that the DisplayObject is a child of?

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.

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!

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.

I have an external class added to the document when a menu is opened. When the menu is closed the function is removed.
But then the document tries to run onEnter function of the class, which references stage and I get the null error. How should I set it up so the document doesn't run the class after removeChild()?

I created two children from my document class "MainClass". One (hero) is of the class "HeroDo" and another is from the class "canDy".
Code:
public static var hero:HeroDo=new HeroDo

Now the simple thing I want to do is to remove the "blue" child from within a function of the "hero" child and the hero child to remove itself from "its inside".I tried this, but it gives me an error. :C

I'm working on a game where I'm adding a symbol (an enemy unit) from the Library via addChild() to an instance on the Stage. The symbol has Linkage/Class enabled so I can stick stat variables directly on it for easy access.The problem is that I want to use the same name for enemies (like en0, en1) in different areas, but if I try to removeChild(), I get Error 1067: Implicit coercion of type Class to type DisplayObject.

I have started learning AS3 after a long stint doing work on AS2, and to test my abilities, I decided to make a quick breakout game. It has gone fine so far until I get to the part where I need to remove the bricks when they are hit. My current code for the class of a Brick is attached, and is started when a Brick is minstantiated on the Stage. However, when I use:
parent.removeChild(this);
it makes the Brick invisible but the AS3 code still runs and the ball bounces off where the moveiclip of the Brick used to be; the eventListener for ENTER_FRAME I added still runs even though I have deleted the MovieClip. This doesn't work either:
this = null;
I have to say I don't like the whole Garbage Collection idea of AS3; it seems half-hearted and uncontrollable; being a .NET developer I am used to more control than this. What was wrong with "this.removeMovieClip();" and how can I correct this? My current swf: http:[url]....(there are other things wrong, like bad collision detection,

I ave created my first class Ellipse, which I am using to make a simple drawing app. This is simply an excercise so I can understand the Proces of writing more complex ode.Everything was going well but I cannot erase what I produce on the stage. I created a box_mc as a way to contain the drawing but only the box_mc is removed not the drawing, which I thought was inside. I have tried changing the class and Base Class in the properties but that did not work.I'm attaching the code bot Class.as and the fla file as they stand now so maybe someone can point me in the right direction.I was wondering if I need to introduce code in the original Class that mentions removeChild();

I'm trying to build a conditional statement that will addChild and removeChild at different Timer Delays. Before I go any further, I thought, I should mention that I'm usinig TweenMax to ease the alpha of ease Child from 1 to 0 and back during the process to imitate a fade-in/out.
I'm getting issue with only one line - inside a conditional statement.It's running "OK". The movie runs as I want it, but the remove/addChild transitions are not at the speed I want it at. I am getting an error message in the output, but other than that, the movie runs fine.

I 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.

I'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.

extending the tween class?

So 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.

// THIS COMES OUT TO BE -601
var yDown1:Tween = new Tween(folioholdermc, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, -601, -449, 3, true);

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:
