ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Current Velocity Of Tweening Object?
Nov 22, 2010
We got an object tweening from point A to point B, and we can learn a few things from it using the onUpdate function.The program can be constantly storing it's actual x/y position and compare it to the previous position, versus time elapsed.I've seen several approaches but none seemed very impressive.Also, perhaps there is an engine (or more) that can return the object's current speed via the unUpdate function.How would YOU retrieve the object's current speed/velocity (pixels per second or millisecond) during a tween ?

I am trying to make a little game its just a project to help me get my head around the maths,I receive an angle and I want to use that angle to move the character away from the object are there any good tutorials for understanding this principle, or even what the term is for this?

I condensed my problem down to the lines of code below.I think the code is pretty self explanitory. My problem is that for a reason I can't figure out, it doesn't tween the alpha back to 100. It simply snaps it back to 100 abruptly What am I doing wrong here?
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

Let's say I have an object, and I use a motion tween to animate it around. Great. Now, I want that object to stay at the final location while other stuff happens on the stage. I can't figure out an efficient way to do this. You can't copy individual frames of a tween, and copying and pasting the whole tween and breaking it up into individual frames and then removing all but the last frame is a bit... time-consuming.how I might be going about using tweens wrong? I feel like I'm just not doing things the way it was designed.

Can an object that is tweening via TweeLite perform a hittest on another object?? I've looked in the documentation but can't find the answer.

I've been trying to solve this problem for a number of days now but I must be missing something.
Known Variables:
vi = Initial Velocity
t = Animation Duration
d = Distance.
end velocity should always be zero
The function I'm trying to create: D(0...t) = the current distance for a given time
Using this information I want to be able to create a smooth animation curve with varying velocity (ease-in/ease-out).
The animation must be able ease-in from an initial velocity.
The animation must be exactly t seconds and must be travel exactly d units.
The curve should lean towards the average velocity with acceleration occurring at the beginning and the end portions of the curve.
I'm open to extra configuration variables.
The best I've been able to come up with is something that doesn't factor in the initial velocity.

I'm looking for the way to make a change of velocity between two o more points... I've an aircraft flying on the sky and it's following a bezier curve based on an array that contains several points (x,y)...So..i need to make a change in a from a determined point to the end, o just to another point ( think...that this Aircraft will be crash with another, so i need the params to avoid the collision.

I'm having some problems when adding multiple instances of a movie clip then controlling their movement. I had it working fine when I was only adding one child. With the code I currently have 20 versions of the movieclip are added to the screen but don't more. I just want them to float up and once out of screen new ones added.
Code:
private function addBubbles():void {

I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.

I'm looking to see how to move an object from it's current position to a designated _x coordinate. I want current position to be a variable that has it track where it is currently located and travel automatically without having to say move from 24.7 to 35.8, for example. I'm usuing the basic mx tweener classes and would like to keep it that way. Basically I'm creating a nav where a dot flies to the nav selection. So end result is I want code that says travel to this _x coordinate from wherever you currently are.

There is something I have been trying to figure out how to do, I keep running into needing a simpler bit of code to hide all the movieclips except the one that was just made visible. My only idea so far is to manually input all the movieclip names and tell them whether or not to be visible. It works, but it creates a lot of code and is time consumming to change. I hope there is a way to use just one or two lines of code and hide all but the currently selected movieclips.

I've always wondered if there was a way to retrieve and store the current position of an object. i am trying to develop a background slideshow using penners equations. but i get into trouble because you have to define the start position. so let's say you click button 1, and the object moves from x =0 to x = 200. Now when i press button 2, i want the object to move from x = 200 to x = 400. and if i then press button 4, i want it to move from x=200 to x=800 and so on. So i need to go from the current position to any of the new positions. i could do this simply using the normal inertia code.

I want to know how do you get the current x position value of the tween object during the animation? I want to move a movieclip across the stage, but at a certain x position, i.e. x=600, a new movieclip is added to the stage and chases behind the first one. My current code looks like this:

I have some buttons on a stage that when click change the scale and the position of another movieclip sitting on the stage. All works well but I'd like to make it bit more....cool
Is it possible to tween, maybe with an ease, between the current position and the position when the button is clicked?

I have imported two images from PS to Flash in PNG format. They are the perfect size and ready to use (i.e. not scaling these images). When I convert them to movies, the animation looks great in Flash, but when I export them they only look good when I have the HTML settings set to "Best". If I don't have this setting on, it looks like crap (i.e. very jagged). These are photos btw, not vector images or shapes.
The reason I want this to be optimized without the control of HTML is because I am creating web banners for advertising. When I submit my swf file to the webmaster, they basically will embed the swf with whatever settings they choose. If they don't have the setting on "Best", the file looks like crap. Allow smoothing is on.
1. When I import the PNG image, can I safely select JPG compression via the Bitmap Properties? Or do I need to keep it as lossless? If I select JPG, I can considerably reduce the filesize, although I'm not sure if that causes the images to look jagged as well.
2. Is there anything I can do outside the HTML settings to display my animations without the jagged edges? I need to keep my filesize under 50Kb which is pretty hard when working with photos and animation etc.

I know the basics of tweening with action script but I have a picture set in the center of the stage at x = 50. On a click I would like that picture move - 10 x from that position so it will end the tween at 40. On a different button I would like to do the oppositie, + 10 x to its current position so if it was at 40 it would be back to the start and if it was at the start it would be at 60.

I tried to refresh my little flash knowledge -- but I stumbled upon a problem with the new Flash CS4!
When I try to make different blur or alpha effect on one keyframe I got after making the motion tween -- Flash adjust the other keyframe as well (got the same reaction on both keyframes as if it was the same instance of movie clip -- and not as in old flash; the keyframes created separated or independent instances)
The only thing working for me is when I move the movie clip out of the stage on the first keyframe -- and it correctly move its position.

I have a number of objects in motion and while I am scrubbing the animation, the tweening path is kind of distracting so I would like to hide them. Is there anyway to show/hide the tweening paths?

I'm making a banner in flash, and are moving some simple objects around.I mainy use vector squares, but when I tween them (classic tween) in a slow motion, the shape starts to "flicker" or "lag". Why is this?I think there has to be something with the calculations Flash is doing, but why can't it make the animation smooth?
