Small issue using TimelineMax and transformAroundCenter

[peterPotter]

When TransformAroundCenterPlugin is used in conjuction with TimelineMax and the target has its transform modified in other ways as well, the TransformAroundCenterPlugin fails to work accurately.

 

Here is the code:

static public function buildDefaultZoomInTween( node:XML, cont:DisplayObjectContainer ):TweenMax
				{
					var targName:String = node.@target;
					var targ:Object = cont.getChildByName( targName );

					if(!targ) return null;

					var dur:Number = parseFloat( node.@duration );
					if(isNaN(dur)) dur = 0.4;

					var tempPopUp:String = String (node.@tempPopUp);

					var removePopUpSec:Number = parseFloat( node.@removeSec );
					if(isNaN(removePopUpSec)) removePopUpSec = 10;


					var delayTime:Number = parseFloat( node.@delay );
					if(isNaN(delayTime)) delayTime = 0;


					return TweenMax.fromTo(targ, dur, {alpha:0, transformAroundCenter:{scaleX:targ.scaleX, scaleY:targ.scaleY}}, {alpha:1, delay:delayTime, transformAroundCenter:{scaleX:1, scaleY:1}, ease:Expo.easeOut});

				}

Okay, before you call it a "Major Bug", it'd be cool if you checked into it first

 

I cannot reproduce the problem at all - can you please post a simple example FLA that demonstrates the issue? I used your code and it worked perfectly for me.

 

And if you're messing with the transform.matrix elsewhere (I didn't see it in your code, but you mention it in your description), why would you expect it not to affect the TransformAroundCenter?

 

Hopefully if you post an FLA demo, we'll be able to get to the bottom of this quickly. Thanks.

Sorry, Mate. We were having some major hair-pulling issues trying to fix the aforementioned problem, and we were frustrated, so I posted that message in the heat of the battle, and at that point we were convinced it was a TimelineMax problem. Our fault.

 

We managed to find a workable solution to the problem. I will post a follow up another day, but the issue was certainly not bug in TimelineMax.

Ah, glad to hear you figured it out. No worries. Sorry to hear about the hair-pulling. Good luck with the rest of the project.
