Well I made some through the onMotionFinished but your app is fully
dependent on all tweens having their opening job done, the app logic gets
hidden inside a series of onMotionFinished wich you have to navigate
through one by one.
For example I´m doing a CD where I have a lot of opening activity and only
after it I set the menus and display containers
when I did it at first time I had just one function call
createCD()
and as all actions were sequentially dependents, to understand what the app
did it was necessary to go from one function after another till I got the
last one ....
I was wondering about some colection or queue scheme where some animators
objects ( object to be tweened, tweening properties ) would implement some
interface and the complete animation chain would be achived in a FOR IN
loop through the collection, am I missing something here ?
I´d rather to invest more in code clarity than in some special tricks,
even working for some time with OO I still have preference to realize what
the app is doing in some structured fashion,
maybe I´m overstressing it -)
thanks for your time ....

Hi All,
I need some ideas how to workaround the following situation
I have na mc as an holder for some photoStrip >>>> this photoStrip has n
photos as mcs in it >>>> I want to produce some tween over each one BUT
the next tween should only begin after the previous has finished
João,
Your best bet would be to use some better tweening engine that allows
delays. That way you could fire all your tweens at once without having to
worry about setting callbacks or other events when each tween is
finished - you just give a increasingly bigger delkay for each photo. Not
only this makes some clearer and more straightforward code, but you could
even animate it in a way that the photos' tweening time intersect each
other, without being dependent on chained events.
For this task I'd recommend mc tween, laco's tween, or the fuse kit. Any
of them will do what you want, and there's probably a few more that I'm
forgetting about.
You *could* do it with your onMotionFinished event. You'd need to setup a
function that fires the animation, and each photo would have to fire the
animation on the next one. It's simple, but it's awkward and
counterproductive. And really, this kind of need is something that comes
up so frequently when animating an interface that using a class or
extension that supports delays instead is your best bet.
