Hrm... never tried that in 2, but then again, never liked Parrellel either. Just do:

e1.playEffect();

e2.playEffect();

Instead.

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Effects on a modal box?

I tried to do a parellel effect which does not seem to work:

    var parentToPopUpOver = view;
    var isModal:Boolean = true;
    var initObj = {};

    var addReasonDialog = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(
      parentToPopUpOver, com.sf.sfv4.view.sharkfin.AddReason,
      isModal, initObj);

var e1 = new mx.effects.Move(addReasonDialog);
e1.xTo=5;
e1.yTo = 5// view.parent.parent.vPosition;
e1.xFrom = 800;
e1.yFrom = 600;

e1.duration=400;
    e1.easing=com.robertpenner.easing.Expo.easeInOut;

//Echo.debug("before explode " + view.width +"," + view.height);
    var e2 = new mx.effects.Resize(addReasonDialog);
e2.widthFrom=0;
e2.heightFrom=0;
    //e2.widthTo=300;
    e2.heightTo=600;
e2.duration=400;
e2.easing=com.robertpenner.easing.Expo.easeInOut;
// little bit of performance boost by hiding children
//e2.hideChildren = [addReasonDialog];


    var all = new mx.effects.Parallel();
    all.addChild(e1);
    all.addChild(e2);

    all.playEffect();

The dialog box opens but does not have the zooming out effect that I want.

It appears that the effect occurs after the dialog box is opened and not during the creation of the dialog.

Be wary of any consultant who says you "can't" do something.

This is Flex... of course you can! Not everything, but most things that are cool & matter. For everything, that's Zombo.com.

Example (psuedo code):

popup = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, Panel, false);

var resize = new Resize(popup);

resize.widthFrom = 0;

resize.widthTo = 320;

resize.heightFrom = 0;

resize.heightTo = 240;

resize.duration = 1000;

resize.suspendBackgroundProcessing = true;

resize.playEffect();

Booyah!!!

You'll have to elaborate on the implode...

Just to be clear I want to have a dialog box that zooms open from a button and then implodes into a text box when closed. I was told by some consultant that this would not work. So he was incorrect?

You can use all mx.effects.* on popups, sure. PopUpManager.createPopUp returns the popup itself; feel free to make it the target of an event.

Hi when doing special effects can they be applied when opening a modal titlewindow via the PopUpManager?
