Does anyone know whether it is possible to create a Tween object where the finish property is based on a changing variable?_tween = new Tween(object, "x", Regular.easeInOut, object.x, movingTarget.x, 60, false);The idea is that finish position could be updated with each frame so that the object changes direction in the middle of the tween.I don't know if this is possible (or even desirable)
View 4 RepliesI was wondering if there's a way to load a swf into a movie clip that changes location depending on where the user places it.
[URL]
The hand can move side to side, and I want to load a new swf onto the screen of the smartphone onclick.
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!
I think this solution should be simple but I think I am missing something about using event.target.name.I have multiple (over 30) MovieClip images on stage with alpha of zero and I would like to have them fade in on MouseEvent.CLICK while removing the current image showing. While I can code it to work for a single image I want to use this.target.name to have more efficient code.

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 image of a target on stage, that moves left and right. In the center of the image is an invisible button, occupying the centre circle of the target. The idea is you click the invisible button on the moving target and this starts another movie playing. Seems to me the action script should reside in the button, and be something like this:
on(release){
targetPath(this.movie2);
play();
}
How to target the MovieClip in the listener of its tween ? I have an Array of MovieClip and each one have its own Tween. Each Tween have its own Listener. I want to target the MovieClip in the listener. I search in many forums and tutorials and I don't find anything convincing.

I'm not sure if if this has occurred to anyone before.... I'm using the built in tween-class of flash (cs4). In my script I try to display a notification-box using a slide-in effect: var slideIn = new Tween(this.warningBox, "width", Regular.easeOut, 0, 150, 0.5, true); This works. The box is invisible at start and then builds up like a flag unrolling from left to right. However, what I really want to do is sliding it in from right to left. So I tried to do this: var slideIn = new Tween(this.warningBox, "width", Regular.easeOut, 0, -150, 0.5, true); Obviously, I modified the warningbox so the pivot point is to the top right, but it still won't work. It seems the endvalue must not be a negative number. Can anyone confirm this, or have I missed something?

View 1 RepliesIs 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.

"p" is point movie clip
"b" is ball movie clip

If you try to make a movie clip travel along a rectangle diagonal within 90 seconds, the movie clip makes some curves.

i'm new to these forums and relatively new to AS3 so bare with me basically i have designed a 360degree flash applications using a movieclip that pans a panoramic photo when the mouse moves left or right.

View 2 RepliesIn Flash CS5, after you've inserted a keyframe in a motion tween, how do you move that keyframe to another frame?
View 3 RepliesI'm just learning the software and haven't been able to figure this out. I'm trying to create an historic timeline for our company and am using 20 jpg images, which I placed on separate layers and then converted each jpg to a symbol and motion tweened to go across the screen. The problem is that there is a gap between the frames when they play as a movie and I don't know how to get rid of that so that they flow continuously across the screen from left to right seamlessly.

View 2 RepliesI have created a motion tween to fade in a symbol on the stage. I have set a there is a diamond keyframe marker at the point where the alpha of the symbol goes to 100%. I want to be able to drag that marker to a later point on the motion tween span (not sure if I have my terminology right here) but I find that I cannot -- I have to delete the keyframe and recreate it at the point where I want it.
View 1 RepliesI feel like this should be pretty straightforward, but I can't figure out a way to easily move a single keyframe within a motion tween to adjust timing. I can't even figure out how to delete a single keyframe, for that matter. Everything I try ends up deleting all the keyframes within the tween or the entire tween.

View 2 RepliesThere is a movie clip "card" created dynamically through the code. I have a class, and I instanced it and add it to the stage. I need to move the movie clip on the button click, so I created a motion tween and export it to the code. Then I wrote a function and asign it to the button through the event listener. But the movie clip doesn't move. The event fires, but nothing happens.
Code examples:
1. Instance of a movie clip
var card:MovieClip = new Panic();
card.x=456.20;
card.y=77.30;
card.width=285;
card.height=355;
card.n = "IME";

I have been producing animation on my Mac using shape tweens and hints where necessaryUnfortunately when these files are then opened on one of my colleague's PCs the shape tweens appear broken as the hints have dissapeared.If the file is opened on another Mac this does not happen.I have yet to spend too much time focussing on testing the whys and wherefores of this problem, but wondered if this is a recognised issue or is a one off
View 1 RepliesI am trying to target a TLF Textfield within a movieclip from that movieclips custom class, but the class can't find the instance name. When I trace out the child name it comes up with a random instance name, not the instance name I set on the stage. When I try and target it from the movieclip's timeline it works fine. Is there a class I need to include in my custom class, or is this a bug? I would love to move from dynamic text fields to TLF, but this is a big hurdle.
