constant tween

[slanton]

I am using papervision3d and want to be able to rotate the camera at a constant speed for an indefinite time with the ability to stop and start. I am thinking that I will need to tween to something like camera.rotationY+20 and then constantly repeat the tween. Would this be the best way ?

and yet when I try something like

TweenMax.to(camera, 10, {rotationY:360,repeat:-1});

I get the following error message when I try to run it

" Property repeat not found on org.papervision3d.cameras"

Are you using the most recent tween classes, because it works for me?

package
{
import org.papervision3d.view.BasicView;
import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Plane;
import org.papervision3d.materials.ColorMaterial;
import com.greensock.easing.Linear;
import com.greensock.TweenMax;

public class Main extends BasicView
{
	public function Main()
	{
		super(0, 0, true, false, "FreeCamera");
		scene.addChild(new Plane(new ColorMaterial(0x990000)));
		startRendering();

		TweenMax.to(camera, 10, { rotationY:360, repeat:-1, ease:Linear.easeNone} );
	}
}
}

Yes that was the problem. Thanks for that.

Because I want to be able to rotate forwards and backwards at a constant speed I did this

 public function rotateForward():void
   {
    var timeint:int=Math.abs(360-camera.rotationY)/8;
  TweenMax.to(camera, timeint, { rotationY:360, repeat:-1, ease:Linear.easeNone});
   }
    public function rotateBack():void
   {
   var timeint:int=Math.abs(-360-camera.rotationY)/8;  
     TweenMax.to(camera, timeint, { rotationY:-360, repeat:-1, ease:Linear.easeNone});
   }

   public function stop():void
   {
   TweenMax.to(camera, 0, {rotationY:camera.rotationY});	
   }

 

but I see that tweenMax has reverse() restart() built in so may try and use those methods
