Boy, it feels like I'm here a lot more than I used to be. I'm currently switching tweens to use TweenLite and what happens is I now have a null reference.
What I don't understand is how to switch this code appropriately. The object begin tweened then has to be capable of being dragged again once it's scaled back down and incapble of being dragged while it's scaled up.

I have several mc's wrapped into one mc. On MOUSE_OVER they animate out, and on MOUSE_OUT they animate back in. This works fine. What I need to add now is a tween at the end (completion) of the MOUSE_OVER. Refer to my code... I dont want the following code:

I am a new flash developer and I cannot seem to understand this problem. Whenever I try and trace one of these variables of type XMLList they all return NULL except for the last one in the array.The createDatsSets() function is designed to pull XMl data and copy it to an variable of type XMLList which resides in an array. This should happen 8 times to add data to all 8 variables.It works fine with a single variable but, in the for statement when.I try and trace any of the variables in the xmlList array only the last one has XML data in it.

I have a Flex application embedded in a Flash application, which was working fine and currently works fine if not embedded. As of last Friday, when embedded the Alerts do not show (no error, just nothing), DateField Calendar dropdowns do not show (null value reference of DateField), and dynamically showing the busy cursor errors (null value reference). My code for the Flex app did not change, and I can't think of any reason outside of Flash Player updates (which I think unlikely) or something has changed in the Flash application that is embedding it.
View 1 Repliesi'm receiving a very noticeable performance hit when using TweenLite to tween a filter while dragging.
private function mouseMoveEventHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
evt.stopImmediatePropagation();[code]....
i understand there is a Drop Shadow Plusing with TweenLite, but that only has the ability to tween the filter on and off, rather than change the distance or blur amount of an always visible drop shadow.also, i'm not testing this on a mobile phone, i'm testing on my fast desktop in both Flash CS5 and the external debugger - both are lagging the display object, which is just a simple square shape, even after the zoomTween has completed.
I'm trying to create a simple loop that adds a random number of stars, fades them out and removes them.The script I've come up with does everything but remove them, and perhaps I need a less on adding children to a stage.
Here's what I come up with

import com.greensock.*;

I need a way to make the movie clips unique so I can tell my oncomplete function to remove the property clip, if I don't do this the movie will eventually slow down and crash because of so many (invisible) movieclips.
In actionscript3,using the ScrollPane component and the TweenLite package, would it be possible to animate to a particular scroll position?

TweenLite.to(slider.mc_slider,1,{delay: 1, x:_returnXPos(35), ease:menuEasing});

I need to "tween" an object like in tweenlite, just x/y values, but have ran into a large issue.
[Code]....
it's kind of accurate at high 'refresh times', but low ones, or long tweens it's very inaccurate. Basically, it needs to move 300pixels/1000ms, I chose to move it every 10ms, the amount I move it is 3000/1000(ms/pixels)*ms=3pixels every 10ms, so we should get to 300pixels moved over in 1000ms. But it doesn't work- the time intervals aren't consistant, sometimes it moves it after 10ms, sometimes it doesn't catch it to move again for 30ms! Tweenlite is able to bypass it's loop being able to run every 10ms, but how?
I declare this tween...
ActionScript Code:
private var _tweenX:Tween;
private var _tweenY:Tween;
I even fire it off it when the player hits a corresponding button...
ActionScript Code:
museumGuy.gotoAndPlay("Walk");
_tweenX = new Tween(museumGuy, "x", Regular.easeOut, museumGuy.x,categoryPaintings.x, 40, false);
_tweenY = new Tween(museumGuy, "y", Regular.easeOut, museumGuy.y,categoryPaintings.y, 40, false);
_resetAnimation = true;
As you can see I have some animation stuff in there. I need to stop the museumGuy from doing his walk animation when the tween is over so I have this on the EventEnterFrame function I set up.
ActionScript Code:
if (_tweenX.isPlaying == false && _tweenY.isPlaying == false && _resetAnimation == true)
{
museumGuy.gotoAndPlay("Idle");
[code]...
how I can stop that? In my Init() I tried to state...
ActionScript Code:
_tweenX.isPlaying = false
but it doesnt like that either.I could fire off a tiny tween as soon as the app starts that doesn't last long enough to notice,but I really want to get a hold of how to control it.
I've got a movieClip, initially it starts with a motion tween, like a pop-in effect, and then after that i've created a keyframe and made the movieClip to continue to, like 450 frames.So the tween finishes at frame 20 and then from frame 21 just the movieClip is displayed.When I write a script at frame 21 to reference this movieClip I get a null object reference error.In this script I want to reference a button which is inside of it, but I'm pretty sure that I cant access this movieClip whatsoever.
View 1 RepliesI am having problems with a scrollbar tween on my site. I have tested the site ([URL]) on many browsers, and it tends to work fine. But, on a Firefox browser, I think with a new version of flash player, and also when I run the Debug on Flash, I get this occasional error:
[Code]...
This tends to happen if the user clicks on the scrollbar button, begins moving the scroller, and then, without clicking back on the scrollbar button to stop it, the user presses on a button on the left navigation. I think I understand what the error is telling me, that it can't complete a function for things that are not yet on the stage. But I am not sure how to fix the code regarding the Tween to get around this. Would anyone be willing to look over my files if I sent them? Here is the Tween code I am using:
[Code]...
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var homemanTween:Tween = new Tween(homeman_mc, "x", Elastic.easeOut, 1000, 50, 3, true);//frist tween
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 have begun on a list: My reference is null!Stage is null! Convert this code from as 2 to as 3 for me! Crossdomain policies are in the way of my cool idea Dynamic property names I need to use stuff on the parent! I don't want my children to scale when I scale the parent! Classes vs instances. Mod note: I do not want this topic pinned, we will use a fresh topic once we have agreed to the content.

the script i wrote is working fine. but the script attached to the flash player which i have no control over is throwing a script error (im using IE8).how can i fix this? if i run it locally there is no error.
'null' is null or not an object

sometimes I remove child and trace it afterwards and it outputs null although I havent yet set it to null, why is that? and do I need to set it to null also in that case?

holderArr[loadedThumbs].removeChild(holderArr[loadedThumbs].getChildByName("photo_bg"));

I have the following piece of code(part of a much bigger program). I this code I am re-using a motion that has been previously used successfully. The trace stmts are used to identify the exact location of the error and the error conditions as best I can.[code]
View 4 RepliesWhen you cast null to an object using Object(null), the result is an object.When you cast undefined to an object using Object(undefined), the result is an object.But saying null as Object or undefined as Object remains null.Why is this? I can't find anything in the documentation about this.
The objects that result from these casts can have properties set on and read from them. It's as if the cast created information, or removed whatever special information the null and undefined values have. But there's no indication in the AS3 documentation that the null and undefined special types are actually objects.

I'm writing an application where I have many objects (data models) that are identified by a unique String ID that every such object possesses and these objects can refer to each other by their IDs.So far so good but now I need to keep track of which object keeps a reference to another object and of course there are cases where an object references (or is referenced by) more than one other object and I was wondering what would be the best method to store these references? In a simple map data structure I could just map one object's ID to another but as mentioned there are cases where an object can hold a ref to an arbitrary amount of other objects

View 1 RepliesI'm using the CSS object (TextField.StyleSheet) to format my dynamic text, which is loaded from an XML doc. I tried referencing more than one class, like <span class="body bluetext">. However, it doesn't seem to work because it ignores the first syle(s) and only applies the last one in the list. I'm guessing Flash doesn't support this (since they're CSS support is already very weak). Just want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong.
View 0 RepliesLately I've been twitching in the back of my head wondering just how many references to objects that I'm making, and whether or not they are getting GC'd or not.My question in this sense refers to event listeners and whether or not they are removed in certain cases where you get rid of an object. Two examples:
First, and I think this one is an easy one... when you create an object that adds an event listener to itself INSIDE it's own methods (e.g. this.addEventListener(e:Event, function)), when you REMOVE that object (this), do it's event listeners disappear too? I can only say yes, because they are referencing THAT object and are INSIDE that object.
So I think that question answers itself (but I'd love to know if the truth says otherwise).
But secondly, if you add an event listener to an object from a sibling or parent object, and then remove the object, does that event listener stick around, therefore maintaining a reference to that object and keeping it in memory? And is that the concept that people keep referring to of 'weak' event listeners? E.g. someChildObject.addEventListener(e:Event, function)Also, are event listeners by default strong or weak?
And I am assuming that 'yes', it DOES keep the reference. Which, if you are a n00b programmer like me, you probably are all like, 'aww sh*t damn, how am I supposed to make sure that my objects are getting thrown in the garbage collector's mouth of goodness every once in a while?
