I would like to tint a movieclip with the tweener class. This is how I tint the mc without the tween:
var c:Color=new Color();
c.setTint(0xff0000, 0.8);
clouds.transform.colorTransform=c;
it works but I would like to give it a smooth transition that's why I would use tweener.
Given any existing RGB color, what is the best approach to combine that color with another, giving the appearance that the first color has been "tinted" by the second? For instance say I had a datagrid cell with a background color of 0xEEAAFF: I now want to make it appear to have a 10% Green overlay applied to that color, in comparision to the other cells around it.For efficiency, I want to do this mathematically, not use some hack like making a semi-tranparent overlay sprite, or simply setting the color manually.
BTW I tried just adding an arbitrary value to the color (5000) which kinda worked, but some colors became shocking pink rather than a pleasant green tinting when their color bytes overloaded and flowed into the next byte. I know the solution is somewhere along these lines but my knowledge of hex math and how RGB values are calculated are pretty basic =)... is this what HSB format is for???
I've done a lot of research and I can't find exactly what I need. I need a way to dim out a MovieClip. First I tried adding a simple Bitmap with some alpha transparency, but because the MovieClip isn't perfectly square that doesn't work right. I then tried the colorTransform class, but that removes all the detail from the object,
View 2 RepliesFirst off I load 2 variables from a database: selectedTerritory and tintValue.I want to load the tintValue (number: 0000FF, 00FF00 etc) and apply that tint to the selectedTerritory (number: 1, 2, 3 etc).What I've got is:
Code:
function displayTerritoryOwner(selectedTerritory) {
var a:Number = selectedTerritory;
[code]....and apply the tint?
How can I script tinting?I'm trying to script tinted into a movie clip.I know about _alpha.. but I've never tinted with AS.

I need the Tweener for Lee Brimelow scrollbar actionscripting.So I'm trying to down load the Tweener but I missed his old topics on how to and were for my FLash version.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to infinitely loop a bitmap all the way through the colour spectrum using AS3, Tweener and its ColorShortcuts class. This doesn't loop back to the function "tween1":
function tween1():void {
Tweener.addTween(image, { _hue: 180, time:5, onComplete:tween2 } );
}
function tween2():void {
Tweener.addTween(image, { _hue: -180, time:5, onComplete:tween1 } );
}
I have a question concerning TweenLite for AS3. I have a button that when I rollover it, I want the other two buttons to "Tween" by tinting in color and move down a bit. Then when I roll off it, I want the buttons to go back there original state or something.

I think that Tweener is not using fractions of pixels on x,y movement, but that exactly what I need. I read about rounded parameter (default:false), that would round pixels, to reduce problems with text, but I want to slowly pan an loaded image, so I don't want to use a rounded value. My code:
var bmp = Bitmap(loader.content);
bmp.smoothing = true;
Tweener.addTween(loader, {x: 20.0, time:10, transition:"linear"});
Image smoothing works fine, but it slides choppy. It looks like moving 1 pixel at seldom frames, not some fraction of px per frame. I'm considering that flash image smoothing has to deal with fraction of pixels. I searched over stackoverflow, and all I could find was about image smoothing, and not about x,y movement smoothing.
I made an animation in Flash which I want to embed in Flex using SWFloader.
I've imported the tweener class (caurina.transitions.*) to tween a rotation. The animation runs perfectly in Flash.
However, when I embed the animation in Flex, the tweening is gone.
Do I need to import the tweener class in Flex?
I use Flash Player 10 (latest version), Flash CS4 Professional version 10.0.02, IE8 and Flex Builder 3.
since the development of Tweener is slow I am wondering if Tweener is still the preferred lib, or if there is a different lib that is preferred?
View 1 RepliesMy acitonscript level is pretty much zero and I can't figure out why this code wouldn't work. I'm not sure if I need an array. Basically I have 25 MCs, I need to tween the alpha of one of them to 100 and the rest to 0. I can't even get any of them tweening using a loop and am not sure the best way to specify which one to tween to alpha 100.
for (var i = 1; i<=25; i++) {
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
Tweener.addTween(bg_images.bg_image+i,{_alpha:0, time:.5});
}
can someone please help me install tweener AC 3.0? They say to put it in my "project source directory" I've tried many ways, google alot, still no luck, How do i find out what my "project source directory" is?
View 2 RepliesI would like to use the Tweener class, but I have no clue where I should put the files in my actionscript directory in flash.
EDIT: I tried looking up after some tutorials, everybody is talking about that I should put the "gs" folder in my fla directory, thats not really usefull if there is not even a "gs" directory in the zip I downloaded! All the files are in the "greensock" directory, but when I try to import it I get:
Code: Select all5001: The name of package 'com.greensock' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file. C:gsTweenLite.as
I made a site using the Caurina Tweener class with AS3 and it works great in IE and Chrome, but for some reason in FireFox it loads really choppy and some of the color tweens dont work properly.I looked up the FAQ and info on the tweener and it doesnt say anything about trouble with FireFox, has anyone else encountered problems with Caurina Tweener class in FireFox?
View 6 RepliesUsing Tweener, is it possible to run code in between two calls to it (Tweener)?I'm a little bit familiar with Tweener and am trying to use set ChildIndex() after one call to Tweener executes and prior to running a second Tweener.[code]I'm trying to get the sprites to switch levels in the depth chart (so to speak) so that one sprite will appear on top on the first pass but then appear behind another sprite on the second pass, but it seems like the lines of code execute while the Tweener is running, and the desired effect is not happening.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a hidden, rollup/rolldown menu, that once rolled on animates up and then exposes thumbnails that will be wired in a gallery type setting. I have hit a roadblock and farily new to As3. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something simple wrong, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Can anyone please shed some light? I feel like there needs to be a course just in flash output errors! I'm thinking the problem is with my addThumbs(); function, but before this mass of errors, my Sprite was the source of new errors - I thought that it would be an easier option to place all of my thumbnails inside a container and then manipulate that containers alpha or presence than indiviudal items.[code]
View 3 Repliestweener doesn't update myValue while passing the param while tweening. why?

Does anyone know how to propagate tweener mouse events only to the children of a movieclip? I have an mc with small thumbnail images inside that are also mcs. I'd like to scale them up with tweener, but I don't want to have to add a listener for every thumb (there are 50 of them). Propagating sounds like the way to go, but I'm having trouble.

Recently I found Tweener And I followed the instruction of installment, but I got a compiler error:Desc: The class or interface 'caurina.transitions.Equations' could not be loaded.Sour: import caurina.transitions.Equations;Even I run the samples downloaded from the website, I got the errors, could someone tell me why is that?
View 1 RepliesI've just come across a problem when using the caurina Tweener for AS2. It works fine with an absolute instance name, for an object on the stage; however as soon as I try to use a dynamic instance name - it stops recognizing simple properties like _x and _y, returning this Output message:
## [Tweener] Error: The property '_height' doesn't seem to be a normal object property of menu1 or a registered special property.
## [Tweener] Error: The property '_width' doesn't seem to be a normal object property of menu1 or a registered special property.
## [Tweener] Error: The property '_y' doesn't seem to be a normal object property of menu1 or a registered special property.
## [Tweener] Error: The property '_x' doesn't seem to be a normal object property of menu1 or a registered special property.
Here is a code snippet:
ActionScript Code:
_root.currentitem = 1;
_root.xpos = 0;
_root.ypos = 0;
Tweener.addTween(["menu"+_root.currentitem], {_x:_root.xpos, _y:_root.ypos, _width:85.0, _height:85.0, time:_root.clicktime, transition:_root.clicktype});
All other tweens work fine. There are objects on the stage with instance names of "menu1", "menu2" etc.

without the counter it works. changing it into an if-statement with the counter af the 2nd tweener, doens't work either.
