The effect is defined in a mxml application that I use to test the
component. Here is a code snippet.
<mx:Button x="573" y="135" label="Higher"
click="{component1.height = component1.height + increment}"/>
<mx:Button x="418" y="120" label=">"
click="{component1.move(component1.x + increment,component1.y)}"/>
<ns1:mycomp
id="component1" moveEffect="move1"
borderStyle="solid" borderThickness="4" y="190" width="674" x="30"/>
<mx:Move id="move1" duration="500" target="{component1}" />
The reason that I want to check for an effect is that when I move the
component using the move method or set the width the component moves to the
location instantly and then the tween instance snaps the component back to
the start position of the tween and then carries it through as it should. So
there is this flicker of the component going to the final position or size
and then snapping back before the start of the tween. I traced it out and
you can see the first value in the move listener function is the final
desired value. Values after that are syncronized with the move effect.
For example, I added a listener to the move method. The component x
coordinate is 30. I click the button to move the component to 80. Here is
the trace statement in the moveHandler:
// adding event handler
addEventListener(MoveEvent.MOVE,moveHandler);
// move handler
public function moveHandler(event:MoveEvent):void {
trace("move to ", x);
// console output
move to 90 <-- notice this first value
move to 30
move to 30.6
move to 32.2
move to 35.050000000000004
move to 38.900000000000006
move to 43.6
move to 48.050000000000004
move to 52.150000000000006
move to 55.45
move to 59.2
move to 63.550000000000004
move to 67.45
move to 71.55
move to 74.75
move to 78.2
move to 81.2
move to 84
move to 85.9
move to 87.80000000000001
move to 89.05000000000001
move to 89.80000000000001
move to 90

Where is the move effect defined? Any effect dispatches events when it
starts and stops (effectStart, effectEnd)

How do I check if an effect is in effect?
My component is listening to the move event and runs some code when the
component is moved. But if there is a move effect then I need to handle
things differently.
addEventListener( MoveEvent.MOVE,moveHandler);
public function moveHandler(event:MoveEvent):void {
if (effectIsRunning) {
// do something
}
else {
// do something else
}
}
