Can't get TintPlugin to work

[kamcknig]

Hi all,

 

I've used the TintPlugin before and gotten it to work, so I can't understand why I can't get it to work now :/

 

I have a Main class and in there I activate the plugin:

import com.greensock.plugins.TintPlugin;
import com.greensock.plugins.TweenPlugin;
import com.greensock.TweenLite;

public class Main extends MovieClip {
 public function Main() {
   TweenPlugin.activate([TintPlugin]);
 }
}

 

Then I have a class called Country that I'm trying to change the tint of a MovieClip inside of Country:

import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.TweenLite;

public class Country extends MovieClip {
 public var outline:MovieClip;
 public var fog:MovieClip;

 public function Country() {
 }

 public function set color(val:Number):Void {
   var tintTween:Object = new Object();
   tintTween.tint = val;
   tintTween.ease = Linear.easeNone;
   TweenLite.to(this.outline, 1, tintTween);
 }
}

 

 

This, however, does not work. The color of the outline MovieClip just stays it's default color!

 

Does anyone see anything wrong or have suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Kyle

Sorry, ignore my previous post - I didn't see your first block of code. Anyway, it looks like it should work fine - could you post an FLA that demonstrates the issue? There must be something else going on in your code. The value you're passing for the tint is a uint, right?

I pass it in in the form of a hex number... e.g. 0xFF0000. so yeah, it should but uint.

 

Here is a link to the source.

The link doesn't seem to be working. Could you repost and try to avoid using spaces in the file name.

The second one I posted: http://icsna.net/backup/Domination%20v1.3.zip should work. This one is working for me.

This isn't a simplified FLA that isolates the problem - sorry, I just don't have time at the moment to dig through all the code. I can try to later when my schedule opens up a bit, but if you want a faster answer, please create a separate FLA that has only enough code/assets to replicate the issue. I find that this is a very helpful best practice anyway when you're trying to troubleshoot something. See if you can do a single tint tween in an FLA. If you can, start to build on that and slowly introduce complexity until it breaks. Then you can see exactly where the issue is.

yeahhh, sorry bout that, i ddint have time haha. the code is in the Game.as in the assignCountriesToPlayers() function. there is a line "country.color = " and that calls the setter in Country.as which is where the tween takes place.
