I am creating a load of tween classes, but the outcome of the tween, the "end" variable, depends on a users action, e.g. a combo box selection...How can I feed this through into the end variable in the tween class.THis was my educated guess, but it doesn't want to work?...
ActionScript Code:
my_Combobox.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, Asizes);
var CanvasType:String
[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.

I need to use tween alpha, but I want to change the duration of the tween with some buttons. Does anybody have any suggestion or example?I think that it is possible if I use variable for the duration and create a new Number by each button, but I don't know how.

Has anybody seen a Tweener (I do not want to use original Adobe ones) that tweens a custom variable.
For example, I have a class called Car, and it has a parameter named "speed". How can I tween this parameter (car.speed) - let's say from 50-80.
i have a movie clip which is exported for ActionScript , i want to get a variable from the document class into the movie clip class i tried this but there was an error !!
ActionScript Code:
var main:Main=new Main();
main.txtScore.text="hello";
I realize this is kind of an odd issue, but I am wondering if there's any way to get Flash to allow me to access a class's static functions using a class variable that points to the class. Example:I create a class called FooClass that has a static function named fooI then create a variable of type Class that points to it
Code:
var class:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("FooClass"));
However, when I try to call foo() using the variable, it errors saying the function

I'm trying to create a class which will create a tween for several different instances of an object. I am creating the instances in the Document Class. The trick is, I would like to specify how long each tween will take.
Here's what I have so far:
DOCUMENT CLASS
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import mcCloud;
[Code].....
As you can see, I have a variable "myTime" which syncs the timer and the tween. This causes to tween to repeat and the clouds to continually scroll across the stage. How can I determine the var myTime at the time I create each instance of the Movie Clip mcCloud?
When I declare a class variable
private var myVar:MyClass = new MyClass();
It creates a new instance of that class that will trace as [Object MyClass].
However, as soon as I assign it to something
myVar = thisOtherVar;
It will now trace as [Object thisOtherVar].
I need to get it back to where it's just an "empty" blank class instance, if that makes any sense at all.
I'm a few days into learning flash AS3 and I'm stuck. So i have movie clip that is made up of smaller clips, and I want to change the opacity of one of the sub clips. Here's my code so far
//MOUSE OVER EVENTS FOR PORTFOLIO ENTRIES
function entryOver(evtObj:MouseEvent):void
{
[code].....
This is my first time working with flash and actionscript. when my project increased in size, it became frustrating to look through 2 or 3 hundred lines of code to find my mistakes. I decided to code in frames, so that one animation or movieclip could be handled by each frame, making it easy to edit each individually. So far so good, but i am trying to reuse a tween from an earlier frame, and it doesn't seem to work. I was under the impression that if you define a variable in a previous frame, you can use it in a later frame.
here's what it looks like
(frame 5)
var closeMenu:Tween = new Tween(mainMenu_mc, "x", Strong.easeOut, 238, 900, 3, true);
there is a frame in between that does: gotoAndStop(20);I want the animation to start right when it gets to frame 20:
(frame 20)
closeMenu.start();
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I can copy and paste the original var and change the name from closeMenu to, say, closeMenu2 and it will work fine, but I feel like what I did should work.

View 7 RepliesI have several objects referencing one value in a number, and I need to tween this number but I cant figure out how.I'll use whatever, the built in tweens or tweener or anything.I cant figure out how to reference the value of the variable, since its not a display object and you cant just say myDisObj.y or something like that.If theres no way to do this i'll just have all of the display objects reference from one's property.
View 4 RepliesI've only been programming in as3 for a couple months, and so far I've written several compositional classes that take MovieClips as inputs to handle behaviors and interactions in a simple game I'm creating. One problem I keep coming upon is that I'd love to access the custom variables I define within one class from another class. In the game I'm creating, Main.as is my document class, from which I invoke a class called 'Level1.as' which invokes all the other classes I've written.Below I've pasted my class 'DieLikeThePhishes'. For example, I would love to know the syntax for accessing the boolean variable 'phish1BeenHit' (line 31) from another class. I've tried the dot syntax you would use to access a MovieClip inside another MovieClip and it doesn't seem to be working for me.[code]

View 7 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.
