Hi Jack, Thank you for the explanations. I've been gradually changing to TweenLite & TweenMax, and so far I'm very happy with it, I've achieved good results with the filter tween and color matrix. yoyo's really cool too.
About that other situation, I was trying to have a time-based tween animation, in order to have a smoother animation . I guess I misunderstood the renderTime method. I wanted the flash player to render the tween each 10ms. (cause with a 30fps frame rate, it would render each 33ms, right? ) just to see what happened... the default timing mode is frame based, right ? cheers! Hey Isaac. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the renderTime(10)? Your example tween was only 1 second long, so where does the 10 come from? If you want to skip to a certain time in a TweenMax tween, make sure you're using the latest v11 (http://blog.greensock.com/v11beta/) and just set the currentTime property like myTween.currentTime = 10 would make it go to the 10-second point. Or use the currentProgress property (always between 0 and 1 where 0.5 is halfway finished) like myTween.currentProgress = 0.5. Don’t use renderTime() - use the currentTime, currentProgress, totalTime, or totalProgress getters/setters. The convenience of these getters/setters is that they can easily be tweened for advanced effects. And there's an easier way to accomplish your repeatReverse() functionality. Just use the yoyo and repeat features like: var plantaTween:TweenMax = new TweenMax(planta, 1, {y:414, repeat:1, yoyo:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}); That'll repeat it once and since yoyo is true, it'll play forward the first time through and backwards the second time through. Full ASDoc documentation is at http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/tween/ Again, make sure you've got v11: http://blog.greensock.com/v11beta/. Feel free to use the forums at http://forums.greensock.com for these types of questions. I try to be pretty active in responding there. Jack PS For the record, TweenLite/Max does NOT use a Timer to drive updates. It's ENTER_FRAME driven which is generally optimal for many reasons (I won't bore you with an explanation here). You can have any tween base its timing on frames instead of time if you prefer (new in v11) by setting useFrames:true. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
