im having trouble figuring out how to script a tween in AS3 with multiple properties. I have the single property syntax down, like such, import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;import fl.transitions.easing.*;var name:Tween = new Tween( gar, "x", Regular.easeInOut, 60, 300 , 3, true);
but if I want multiple properties, im having trouble finding that info.
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'm trying to find all the class properties for the tween class. I know of:

are there more? Is there a listing somewhere on the web that has this information?

I am using the tween class on my first key frame of my mc. It looks like this;
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(main_mc, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut,590, 0, 3, true);
However my question is if I have multiple mcs that will use the same code how do i reference it? Currently I have the above code duplicated on two key frames, one of the first and another after a stop keyframe.
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 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 am developing a webpage in AS3 and I made a simple example for you to understand: [URL]. The pink is a movieclip button and the blue a movieclip with a tween when I push the button I want to move the tween but instead I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at error_fla::Symbol2_2/onclick()
Is there no way to do this from the timeline? I have a layer on the timeline with a MovieClip. It's set for motion tweening. On Frame 30 it has a keyframe for all tween properties ( rotation, scale, position, etc ).I want to copy those and set them on frame 1 using the Timeline editor.
View 3 RepliesI want to know how to create a tween so that at start of it my movieclip called myBox will be at say 6 blur on the x and y. Then at end of tween it is at 0. And I need to be able to say how long it goes for. I have a tween already that makes it move, that was easy but making it blur as well isn't easy. How to do this?

I have a class, call it MyClass, and there are several variables that I need to be able to access each instance of from within the class.So for instance, I need the object myObject1, a member of MyClass, to store the variable myNumber.From the main timeline, if I trace myObject1.myNumber, I get whatever number I've stored.
However, I need to check the numbers against another parameter, so I need to be able to test if myObject.myNumber == myOtherNumber. But from within the class, if I trace this.myNumber or myNumber I get null.What is the proper syntax for accessing a variable within a class?
I have an mc called sunny. In the properties panel I export her for actionscript. I put Sunny in the main class and Drag in the base class. The reason for this is that I want her to be draggable. I can't use Drag in the main class as another object is using that name. The Drag.as has the drag functionality. Why can't I drag her. I already have a solution - I wrote a specific class for her and extended the Drag class. However, if I have 10 mcs I'm not going to write specific classes for all of them. Summing up: Using the base class Drag in properties panel - why isn't she draggable?

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

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

I have a Hero that can shoot bullets. I can get him to shoot multiple bullets, all with equal velocity. The bullets are supposed to be peas from a pea shooter, so I want to apply friction and gravity to them so they slow down and fall. I'd also like them to bounce of objects too.At the moment I'm just applying friction, so the peas should be shot forward, and then gradually come to a halt in the air. The problem I'm having is that if I apply friction to one pea, it generates the next one at the velocity that the 1st one is currently at - that is, the second pea starts out slow, and stops very quickly. The 3rd one is generated not moving.
How can I set the velocity to reset for each pea, so they all start out equal? They all move with the same properties, so I want to deal with them all in one arrray/loop. Is this possible?I have posted the basic structure without any velocity or anything specified because I'm not sure where everything should go. If I specify a starting velocity in the document class and then use the for loop to apply friction, it changes the velocity of every pea. The Pea class just contains functions to draw the pea.
Code:
public function bullets(event:Event):void {
if (s==20 && PandaHero.currentFrame==13) {

I'm completely new to this forum, and would like to ask your help for one issue. I am working on an interactive flash map, I was able to set all the countries borders with the help of fireworks (awesome tool), and import them back to flash and set each country as a button. I would like to set all of the buttons to have the same properties for example : All the buttons have default red color, and will have a mouse hover frame that will change the color of the button to blue. I DO NOT want to set each button manually, because I would like to have the choice to change the mouse hover color to a different one, and would like to avoid passing each button and changing each one's mouse hover frame.
Is there a way I can built a template of a frame, and for each button set its mouse hover frame as the template frame I built ? And then if I make any changes to the template frame, all of my buttons would be automatically updated ?

I'm updating the x and y properties of my Model.as when I drag a Sprite around the stage. However, because both setter functions dispatch an Event.CHANGE, the property that is updated second seems to get locked in place (meaning it doesn't seem to be updated with the correct value as it locks the Sprite in a horizontal or vertical line of movement).

Is there a way, in ActionScript 2, to set multiple properties for an exising movieclip in one command?
For example, is there a way to write something like this more succinctly?:

myMovieClip._alpha = 100;

if you have an active state and a passive state for something, you can jump between the two with gotoAndStop(2), gotoAndStop(1); or you can manipulate whatever property is changing directly (e.g. if it's alpha, then symb.alpha=0.5, symb.alpha = 1.0). I've found myself jumping between the two, and I don't like it (I like to have a standard, or at least a usual). What's considered a good practice

Pretty simple. Loads each image into a imgHolder_mc named 0, 1, 2, etc. Each image is also set to alpha = 0 since I don't want them to show unless the slider is changed.

you'll notice on their main page, when you roll over section "living" all movie clips below which are "living" projects are highlighted, while others are faded out.I have a vague notion that this is done by creating a series of arrays, one for living, one for learning, one for working, etc etc etc... and then changing whole sale all MC's contained in those arrays upon roll over.First of all, am i correct in this assumption? If so, i really need some pointers to get started. Say i want to define these arrays, and on the press of a button, one directs its movie clips to change alpha to 50, and the other to 100. All of these movie clips by the way are visible on the stage.
Code:
var High = new Array();
High[0]=mc_pAICM;

I was using CS3 and Flash 8 (macromedia).I am working on a file that was created in maybe flash cs3 or perhaps flash 8, from another developer.It shows tweens on the time line.The developer created fade tweens, with names like "Transform 1" etc.The fades are on symbols (the developer converted jpegs to a symbols)from 100 percent to 0 percent alpha.I can see the fade go from 100 to 0, but I am unable to see the "alpha" properties when I select the symbol or the tween in the timeline.The tween is displayed in the timeline as a line with an arrowhead at the keyframe when the visibility goes to zero.I do not seem to be able to see the properties for the tween, i.e. 100 in keyframe 1, to 0 in keyframe 20.No information shows in the CS4 "Motion Editor".
I created a tween in a layer that I added, and it seems that CS4 no longer show the lines with arrowheads, but uses a different color for the tween range.And I get the motion properties in the "Motion Editor".I am sure it is pilot error here.Since I just installed CS4, etc.How can I view tween properties, like alpha on a symbol created in an earlier version of Flash?
