RE: [Flashcoders] Tweening Engines for AS3
I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to mention a few things that might interest a few of you: 1) The entire TweenLite family now does synchronized tweens. 2) TweenLite's "big brother", TweenMax, was just released and it adds support for Bezier tweens, sequencing, hex color tweening, and a bunch more features. It does everything TweenLite and TweenFilterLite do plus more. 3) In addition to normal Bezier tweening, TweenMax has a "bezierThrough" feature that allows you to define points through which you want the bezier curve to travel (instead of normal control points that simply attract the curve) There's an interactive demo that lets you play with the Bezier functionality, as well as a feature comparison chart for TweenLite, TweenFilterLite, and TweenMax, and a Bezier speed test all available at www.TweenMax.com. Of course everything is available in AS2 and AS3. Cheers!

It doesn't happen much that this becomes a problem, though I can imagine projects where people want lots of tweens ending at the same time, which simply won't happen with lots of objects in TweenLite, other than that it's pretty sweet.

[Flashcoders] possible reasons for crash on compile in flashcs3?
What might be some possible reasons why the flash IDE crashes on compile? The problem is that it doesn't crash EACH time, just once in a blue. This just started though recently when i took an item that was a class (the path was: "landingpage.modules.browser.BrowserContainer"), and broke it into a subclass of a GenericBrowser class (the path was: "utils.browser.GenericBrowserContainer")... Suddenly it crashes, usually on the second compile, it's pretty frustrating even though i save often so i have no lost any data. What might be some possible things that could be causing this crash? Maybe something to do with variable names? The subclass has to do it's own imports even if the super class imports those same classes right? (I'm just trying to rule out EVERYTHING since its kind of becoming annoying at this point). Anyone have any ideas? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Very true! I Missed the "efficient" part of the question, oops!
Here's the best I've got so far (according to flasm):
var defaultSection:Number = 3;
var maxSection:Number = 6;
var i:Number = maxSection + 1;
while(--i) {
if (i < defaultSection) {
trace("lower " + i);
} else {
trace("higher " + i);
}
}
This, of course, supposing he doesn't care about the order of execution.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Two for loops and one if statement into one for loop.
Right. I should have set j inside in the if statement each time.
var defaultSection:int = 3;
var maxSection:int = 6;
var i:int = maxSection + 1;
var j:int;
while (i--)
{
trace( "i = " + i );
if (defaultSection < maxSection)
{
j = defaultSection;
while (j--)
{
trace( "j = " + j);
}
}
}
However, somebody managed to suss out what Helmut was really trying to
achieve. Their second example, however, was the exact opposite of what
Helmut wanted, which was an efficient loop.
Doing any kind of math or function call in the comparison function of a
loop is the polar opposite of efficiency. ;)

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Two for loops and one if statement into one for loop.
Well Steven, your code would enter into an infinite loop.
It would trace the first "i", then the if will be true, and it will loop
till j is false (reaches zero).
Then while(i--) runs again, the if will be true again, and the while(j--)
will run forever, since j will start at -1, which is true.
(Actually not forever, since eventually an int will overflow and become
false again...)

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Two for loops and one if statement into one for loop.
Your if statement is pointless because defaultSection is ALWAYS less
than maxSection because you're not altering either of those variables.
That being said, this is much faster:
var defaultSection:int = 3;
var maxSection:int = 6;
var i:int = maxSection + 1;
var j:int = defaultSection;
while (i--)
{
trace( " - " + i );
if (defaultSection < maxSection)
{
while (j--)
{
trace( " - " + j);
}
}
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Two for loops and one if statement into one for loop.
I suppose you want to act properly if the counter is lower or higher than
defaultSection.
If so:
for (var i:Number = 0; i < maxSection; i++) {
if (i < defaultSection) {
trace("lower " + i);
} else {
trace("higher " + i);
}
}
If you absolutely want to run the "higher" part before you run the "lower"
part, you can do some "code abuse" ;)
for (var i:Number = defaultSection; i < (maxSection * 2 - defaultSection);
i++) {
if (i % maxSection >= defaultSection) {
trace("higher " + i % maxSection);
} else {
trace("lower " + i % maxSection);
}
}
Please correct me if that's not what you want

I don't think anything would be faster than having no code to execute ;) You forgot to paste it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Two for loops and one if statement into one for loop.
Normally you get unexpected (or expected, depends on how you look at
it) results when having two for loops and using the same iterator, for
the outher loop try using i, and the inner loop try using j. See what
happends :)
