Shake on Rollover

[Ulysses]

I can't for the life of me work out how to shake a MovieClip on rollover. As I need the MovieClip to start and end in the same x/y position, the tweens don't seem to work.

 

is there a workaround for this?

Hi and welcome to the GreenSock forums,

 

There are quite a few ways to do this depending on your requirements.

Does the shake repeat inifinitely as long as the mouse is over the mc?

Does it need to abruptly snap back to position when you roll off?

 

I'll assume you just need a simple short shake on rollover like this:

A RoughEase will handle the shake: http://greensock.com/roughease

 

Here is the code:

 

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;


mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, over);
mc.startX = mc.x // record starting x value




function over(e:MouseEvent):void{
TweenLite.to(mc, 0.5, {x:"+=3", ease:RoughEase.ease.config({strength:20, points:80 }), onComplete:function(){
//return mc back to startX when tween is done
mc.x = mc.startX;
}
});}

That is exactly what I needed to work from Carl. Thank you very much.
