RE: [Flashcoders] How do you do this? (animating gradient fillcolours)
LOL. Yeah, I've peeked at the TweenMax source code a _few_ times. For those who are interested, Rich did a great intro to TweenLite here: http://www.learningactionscript3.com/2008/06/06/tweenlite-introduction/ (thanks Rich) Also, I should mention that the whole TweenLite/Filter/Max family has a new visible (_visible in AS2) special property for toggling visibility at the end of the tween, and TweenMax has a new multiSequence() method that allows each tween in the sequence to have a different target. Oh, and forums are now online at http://forums.greensock.com. And I hope to post some video tutorials later this month, time permitting.

For some odd reason when I run a movie in AS2 I always get the following warning Warning: 'gs' has no property '_visible' latest version of tweenlite... You wont see that on the output panel but it is written to the flashlog.txt... interesting huh? On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 9:02 AM, Jack Doyle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: LOL.

That is odd - never heard of that one before. Let's talk off-list and I'm sure we can figure out what the problem is. Send me your FLA if you don't mind, and let me know if you're on a Mac or PC. If anyone else has any theories, I'd welcome them.

Re: [Flashcoders] How do you do this? (animating gradient fillcolours)
Thanks for your reply allandt, I can see how TweenLite could tween the color property of a movie clip but how is the gradient bit achieved?

RE: [Flashcoders] How do you do this? (animating gradient fillcolours)
You can use TweenMax's ability to tween hex colors and fire an onUpdate
callback that applies the new values, like this (AS3):
import flash.geom.*
import flash.display.*
import gs.*;
var gradientColors:Object = {left:0xFF, right:0xFF};
var gradientMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
gradientMatrix.createGradientBox(100, 100, 0, 0, 0);
function applyGradient():void {
this.graphics.beginGradientFill(GradientType.LINEAR,
[gradientColors.left, gradientColors.right], [1, 1], [0, 255],
gradientMatrix, SpreadMethod.PAD);
this.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
}
applyGradient();
TweenMax.to(gradientColors, 2, {hexColors:{left:0x00FF00, right:0x660066},
onUpdate:applyGradient, delay:1});
The same sort of thing can be done in AS2 as well.
You can get TweenMax at www.TweenMax.com
