[Flashcoders] Tween
I'm just thinking about the best way to do this (OK, the laziest way to do this). I have a MC at point A and want to tween it to point B. OK, no problem. But really, I don't want my MC to move in a straight line, I want it to oscillate - I guess as a damped (attenuated at both ends) sine curve along the path between A and B. Before I start hurting my brain, any ready made solutions out there? Paul ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

check out TweenMax and the bezierThrough property. if you are moving horizontally and tweening just the x though, on enterframe you can go cycle through 360° set your y based on the sine of that and an amplitude. that will do what you want too.

RE: [Flashcoders] Tween Issues
What Tween engine are you using? The built in Adobe Tween class?
Are your tween instances declared within a class?
I used to get a lot of issues with Tweens doing random things. I
discovered that any tween instances needed to be declared as class vars
as opposed to locally scoped.
i.e., rather than
private function moveSomething():void
{
var t:Tween = new Tween(...);
}
try:
private var myTween:Tween;
private function moveSomething():void
{
myTween = new Tween(...);
}
Personally I'd ditch Tween and move to TweenLite/TweenMax.
Hope this helps.
Barry.

And in Moses' defense, he recognized the problems with Fuse (bloat, poor performance) and came out with GoASAP for AS3 in an effort to have a core lightweight engine that developers could build their own custom engines on top of. But lots of developers don't want to mess with building an engine, so it might not be a good fit for everyone. You could pick up a pre-built one based on GoASAP if you want, though, like HydroTween. There are several others too. http://code.google.com/p/goplayground/. Tweener is very powerful as well, and tons of people use it. That being said, you may still want to check out TweenLite and/or TweenMax because: - They're faster. In some cases by a WIDE margin. http://blog.greensock.com/tweening-speed-test/ - Obviously TweenLite is lighter weight (about 3k). Fuse is huge. - AS2 AS3 versions with virtually identical syntax features - If you're looking for features (sequencing, Bezier tweening, filter tweening, pause/resume, event dispatching, timeScale, etc.), check out TweenMax which does everything TweenLite does plus tons more. Same syntax. Easy to upgrade. There are several features in TweenMax, in fact, that no other tweening engine has (that I'm aware of). I'd encourage you to download several engines and give 'em a shot. You might be surprised what you prefer after using them for a project or two. TweenLite comes with TweenMax which can be downloaded here: www.TweenMax.com Just my 2 cents. Keep the change.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tween multiple rotations

Re: [Flashcoders] Tween multiple rotations
If you are using AS2, check our FUSE as an alternative animation engine; I swear by it, learn it once and it will forever animate your work on all projects with kind simple powerful beautiy... ;) On AS3 there isn't as good a package as fuse around [yet?]; I'm using Tweener on AS3 which is nearly as good as FUSE; though it lacks certain features. In Tweener and FUSE you can create a series of actions and then bundle them to occur for as many times as you need [in your case, several 360 degree rotations] - in Fuse this is very elegantly handled as one call; in Tweener it's more messy; as you need to call a function at the end of every rotation, which increases a variable counter you make, which re-calls the same function if still below a current [rotation] value... more code, but also works.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tween multiple rotations
Maybe I'm missing something about whats being attempted, but I know in
Tweener (As3), you can just put in a value like 1440, and it will
rotate 4 times, using a single tween. This code:
Tweener.addTween(mc,{rotation:1440,time:2,transition:linear});
Does just that, no need to string multiple tweens together.

RE: [Flashcoders] Tween multiple rotations
If you want to rotate it 3 full rotations, you could just use a relative
value by putting quotes around the value, like this:
TweenLite.to(my_mc, 1, {rotation:1080});
Or if your amount is in a variable, just cast it as a String, like this:
TweenLite.to(my_mc, 1, {rotation:String(myRotationVariable)});
Is that what you were looking for?

RE: [Flashcoders] Tween multiple rotations
Your generalizations are interesting to say the least. Web 2.0 application development has nothing to do with the demands on a tween engine, I'm building a social networking app and the way the interface renders, a lightweight tween engine is essential. But if my interface was not as demanding, Fuse might be OK (though way more K than I would prefer). It really depends on how the animation is used. Web 2.0 has no relevance - apples to oranges. Greensock's tween engine does animation sequencing too.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tween removal...
I always push all my tweens into an array so that when i want to stop
all of them I just do this:
while(tweens.length 0) {
tweens.pop().stop();
}
Calling the stop method on a tween should stop it immediately...
Hope this helps, and that I correctly understood the issue :)

[Flashcoders] tween in a function doesn't working
Hi list,
I have some code that I've made that I don't understand why it is
failing, and I want your help
this works
var time = .3;
var easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut;
var response2_mc:MovieClip = this.frmContato_response2_mc;
var plus6_mc:MovieClip = this.frmContato_plus6_mc;
plus6_mc.plus6_btNext_mc.onRelease = function() {
plus6_mc._y = -160;
response2_mc._y = 123;
var startY = response2_mc._y + 10;
var endY = response2_mc._y;
yTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(response2_mc, _y, easeType,
startY, endY, time, true);
alpha_Tween = new mx.transitions.Tween(response2_mc, _alpha,
easeType, 0, 100, time, true);
};
this don't
var time = .3;
var easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut;
var response2_mc:MovieClip = this.frmContato_response2_mc;
var plus6_mc:MovieClip = this.frmContato_plus6_mc;
function animateIt(tgt){
var startY = tgt._y + 10;
var endY = tgt._y;
yTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(tgt, _y, easeType, startY, endY,
time, true);
alpha_Tween = new mx.transitions.Tween(tgt, _alpha, easeType, 0,
100, time, true);
}
plus6_mc.plus6_btNext_mc.onRelease = function() {
plus6_mc._y = -160;
response2_mc._y = 123;
animateIt(response2_mc)
};
I have many tweens like that, is that why I want to have a function to
just call it everytime it's need, any clues why it don't work when it's
called via function?
TIA

Re: [Flashcoders] tween in a function doesn't working
I'm not sure what it could be, but you should try delegating the onRelease
function to this:
import mx.util.Delegate;
plus6_mc.plus6_btNext_mc.onRelease = Delegate.create(this,
btNext_mc_onRelease);
function btNext_mc_onRelease() {
plus6_mc._y = -160;
response2_mc._y = 123;
animateIt(response2_mc)
};
The strange thing is, if this were the issue, your first code should not
work since response2_mc is not in plus6_btNext_mc's scope. My guess is that
animateIt is out of scope and that response2_mc is referenced somewhere in
plus6_btNext_mc.
One way to find out if it's scoping is to trace animateIt and response2_mc.
Hope this helps,

plus6_mc.plus6_btNext_mc.onRelease = function() {
plus6_mc._y = -160;
response2_mc._y = 123;
animateIt(response2_mc)
};
I have many tweens like that, is that why I want to have a function to
just call it everytime it's need, any clues why it don't work when it's
called via function?
TIA

[Flashcoders] Tween question
Hi, I've got a motion tween in the timeline that simply moves a mc vertically (about 30 pixels) and then back again. All works fine until I also try to move that mc horizontally using actionscript and the ._x property, the timeline motion tween stops working, the mc moves horizontally but not vertically. Is this just Flash's normal behavior, that moving an object using actionscript means that the timeline will be ignored? Are there any work arounds?

Is this just Flash's normal behavior, that moving an object using actionscript means that the timeline will be ignored? Are there any work arounds? Yes, it is. It stops updating the object with timeline's properties if you change them dynamically. There's one workaround: create another inner movieclip and change the _x of that inner movieclip. That way, changes to the timeline and the dynamic property will stack to each other. I'd recommend stop using the timeline and always use code animation though. It's much bettter in almost all cases, the only exception being guided animation.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tween question
Hi, there is another workaround, although i'd not recommend it, but knowing the trick involved might be nice though:). You can 'record' all the movieclips positions in array, by visiting each frame in the first frame. In other words, in a single onEnterFrame (the first prob), you could gotoAndStop to each and everyframe, to record whats there. You can use this data to play back similar or altered movements on the same clips through code. greetz JC On 11/3/06, Zeh Fernando [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All works fine until I also try to move that mc horizontally using actionscript and the ._x property, the timeline motion tween stops working, the mc moves horizontally but not vertically.

Timeline animations are something done on design-time - when exporting the final SWF, flash actually renders all the motion frames to precalculated pseudo-keyframes and then applies them when playing the movie. You can't make it 'switch' back to the timeline tween. As soon as you change a property dynamically, it snaps out of any tweening and flash won't update it anymore. You can do this: 1. Instead of changing the property on the movie that's being tweened on the timeline, change it INSIDE it (for example, having a container movieclip inside the movieclip itself, which you can change the property); or 2. Drop timeline tweening and use 100% actionscript tweening instead. Chosing option 1 can be messy and it's a bit different to figure out (it will stack with yout timeline tweening, not overwrite or change it) but it works on some cases.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tween and actionscript
Since I use Zeh's tweening methods I would have to agree with him, use actionscript to do the tweening and you'll be a happy developer from this day forth. It is a much cleaner way to control your movies. If you haven't done so to this point I would suggest reading through his site and get a handle on how you can have more control over your movies using actionscript. http://hosted.zeh.com.br/mctween/using.html I know that doesn't answer your question but it will help you as a developer.

RE: [Flashcoders] Tween not working in AS
So I need to find a nice clear definition of how they work. Any links? I'm not sure about links to explanations of _parent and this other than the documents, but for using the Tween class, look up Jen de Haan on the Macromedia site. She wrote a great article about its usage. For the first param in Tween, are you using _parent.obj? Try tracing that object, and see if it traces what you want to tween first. - MM ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
RE: [Flashcoders] Tween not working in AS
Don't know if it matters, but I always assign the Tweens to a var name.
That way, you can refer to them later, with onMotionFinished, etc.
