I've got something like this: Tweener.addTween(captions.getChildByName("captionL ine_"+i),{x:0,time:5,transitio n:"linear,onComplete:ready})
function ready():void{
trace("Ready!")
}
How do I have to alter this, so that I can trace the name of sprite on which the tween has been applied to? Some kind of event.target.name stuff, but how would the syntax need to look like?

I have an interesting problem here that I can't figure out. Here's the problem: This code works:
[Code]....
As you can see, I want the object to move in the x direction, then once it's done that I want it to move in the y direction instead of just doing both at once and going diagonal. One thing that is "interesting" is that the trace still spits out the word to the output window. But the object in the end has only moved to the x destination and never gets to the y.
Is there any way to remove a filter that's been applied to a sprite?
Let's say I have a sprite named rect, and I've applied three filters to it[code]...
How can I remove those filters, and return rect to it's original unfiltered state?
We have a flashcard application that loads the cards from an array (mysql database -> php -> flash), everything works fine when using a classic tween but when we try to apply a 3D tween to the cards we lose the dynamic text (font is embedded).
So before i spend weeks trying to find a solution i figured i would ask?
Can a 3D Tween be applied to dynamic text in CS4?
I had a quick question about displacement... I just have a circle that changes shape and size and I wondered if there was a way to apply some kind of displacement filter to it, so that ANYTHING under this circle movieclip is distorted by the displacement. (think of a magnifying glass).
View 1 RepliesI have not seen an answer for this sideeffect. I have a sprite (aka MovieClip sorta)n my stage. I am using a motion tween on the timline(keyframes, etc) that moves my sprite object from left to right. Iwould like to apply a glow filter to the object on the stage. I amusing GreenSock, TweenLiteFilter, although the same thing happensif I use the standard Flash glowfilter. If I apply the filter inactionscript, the tween ceases to play. If I apply thefilter usingthe timeline, and clicking on my sprite on the stage, the motiontween plays.Can I not mix and match effects in ActionScript and thetimeline? Does this mean if I want a filter and a motion tween atthe same time it has to be done via keyframes on the timeline OR in

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to trace the path a symbol takes and create a shape(or shapes that appear as a tracing)? Very Simple example: The letter C, without serifs. Basically an arc. I would like the C to be "drawn" in the animation. I hope to simply motion tween along the C and trace it's path. I did a shape tween, and wasn't happy with the results. Plus complex paths would be very hard to shape tween.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get a transparent image to fly in from the side. So, I *thought* I was doing the correct thing by moving the "symbol" off of the visible portion of the stage, and creating a motion tween to move it onto the stage. The motion works, but the quality of the image in general (and the text in specific) looks pixelated.Thus, I did a little bit of snooping, and everyone said that you should start with a bitmap. So I saved the image from Photoshop into .bmp format, and was able to set the properties to "allow smoothing" and with lossless compression. So far, so good. Now, as I expected, the transparency is no longer there...
So here's the question: how can I make this image retain its quality, still have transparency, and a motion tween?It seems like this is some set of characteristics that don't play well together, even though I see this type of thing online ALL the time.I tried "Trace Bitmap" to convert to a raster image, and tried to follow some suggestions online, but when I do "Trace Bitmap", it ends up looking like it has a bunch of grayish dots on the image... definitely NOT what I was expecting.
I have question about eventListeners been overwritten in a ENTER_FRAME event.I have an event that gets called on ENTER_FRAME which is creating a new twn every time but the tween is been saved in a temporary variable.The tween also adds a listener every time for the MOTION_CHANGE event.Does this MOTION_CHANGE event have to be removed every time so the events don't build up or are they garbage every time a new tween is created.Here is an example of a snippet of my code. Obviously there is many ways to do this but my code is setup this way for a larger reason.
Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onUpdate );
private function onUpdate(evt : Event = null ) : void

I'm making a Flash website. I've got a TweenEvent, and after that, I want Flash to show me a different screen (keyframe, labeled "een"). What command should I give then?
I'm not sure about the bold line. Which command do I give instead of the WhatToEnterHere, or do I have to do something completely different?

I'm trying to get the clip on which the tweenevent was applied when TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH is triggered. evt.target is always in the scope of the event/tween and never about the clip.

What I want is to process all three tweens in a single function, but I need to know which tween it was. It is of course possible to make three separate functions, one for each tween, but that is just not proper.
I found this post on the Actionscript.org forums about TweenEvent dispatches not happening consistently.
I've come up against a similar problem in the past. The first thing to check is that the Tween instance does not go out of scope. For example (this is pseudo code).[cod]e...
How would I go about accessing the object I am moving with a tween through TweenEvent? or is this even possible? I think e.currentTarget will give me the tween object instead of the movieclip it is controlling, but I'm not sure.

var tweens:Array = new Array();

Is it possible to access current mc the tween is moving through TweenEvent here? If not possible, how would I pass the current object in the loop to the function? I had one idea of creating a function within the addEventListener line and passing both the event and current object, but it is not working for some reason.
Code:
tweens[i].addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, function done(e:TweenEvent){tweenFinished(e,aryObjects[i]);});
I know that Tweener or TweenLite would work well but I want to do this without using them.
can u pass a variable when launching a function with an event?if so... how would you write the function body?

I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.
