back to the addChild!

[vdheyning]

Hello!

 

I totally understand that you don't have the time to write non tweenlite related code, but I thought I'd give this question a shot anyway, I figured out to mathRandomly addChild, but is there a way that I can get the dots to tweenlite in from alpha 0 sequentially?

Below the code that just addsChild...

 

Thanks!

for (var i:int = 0; i < 200; i++){

var circle:MovieClip = new Circle();

 

circle.x = Math.random() * this.stage.stageWidth - (circle.width * 0.5);

circle.y = Math.random() * this.stage.stageHeight - (circle.height * 0.5);

 

addChild(circle);

}

Just use the delay special property:

 

for (var i:int = 0; i     var circle:MovieClip = new Circle();

   circle.x = Math.random() * this.stage.stageWidth - (circle.width * 0.5);
   circle.y = Math.random() * this.stage.stageHeight - (circle.height * 0.5);

   addChild(circle);

   TweenLite.from(circle, 1, {autoAlpha:0, delay:i * 0.05});
}

 

You could create a TimelineLite and append() each tween instead of using the delay property if you want - that way you could control the entire sequence as a whole anytime. But if you don't need that capability, just use the delay.

Again thank you for the reply, however, it doesn't seem to do anything for me, all the circles still get placed at the same time, see attached.

I'd like the to all randomly appear, albeit quickly...like confetti?

I assumed you knew that you had to activate the AutoAlphaPlugin first - sorry, I should have made sure you understood that. You can just use TweenMax if you don't want to mess with the activation because TweenMax automatically activates several plugins including AutoAlpha. Or you can just add this code once in your SWF:

 

import com.greensock.plugins.*;
TweenPlugin.activate([AutoAlphaPlugin]);
