Can a killed tween still trigger onComplete?

[Rabies]

I've got a tween that looks like this:

 

TweenLite.to(this, 0.4, {_x:dx, _y:dy, ease:Expo.easeOut, onComplete:completeTileReturn, onCompleteParams:[this.sourceTile]});

 

I had an issue where if this tween wasnt completed yet, and a StartDrag was attempted on the clip, the position of it would be way off. So the solution was to do this first:

 

TweenLite.killTweensOf(_parent._parent.PLAYTILE);

 

Works great except that the onComplete does not get triggered, so I have essentially traded one bug for another.

 

Is there any way to force the onComplete and params?

Of course - that's what the 2nd parameter is for in the killTweensOf() method. Most people DON'T want tweens to be forced to completion when they're killed, but if you do, all you need to do is:

TweenLite.killTweensOf(myObject, true);

 

It's in the docs at http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/tween/

Thanks.

 

Is that link to AS2 or AS3 version? It doesnt say anywhere.

PS: I KNOW we had this discussion already, but when I search for all my past posts, NOTHING shows up. Therefore, I was forced to waste your time again...

 

(Why did you hide your old forum? You could have simply locked it, but leave it searchable for legacy support).

Its not working. The function is not triggering.

 

TweenLite.killTweensOf(_parent._parent.PLAYTILE, true);

[Rabies]

You can close this thread. I found an alternate way to trigger the function (outside of tweenLite).

But if you know what im doing wrong, I wouldn't mind to know. I'd love to look up the old solution in the old forum.

I'm confused on several fronts:

 

1) I tested the AS2 code and it worked perfectly. Here's an example:

 

TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {_y:0, onComplete:onFinishTween});
TweenLite.delayedCall(1, kill);
function kill():Void {
TweenLite.killTweensOf(mc1, true);
}
function onFinishTween():Void {
trace("Tween Finished!");
}

 

2) I didn't "hide" any old forum - this is the same forum it has always been.

 

I'm not sure why it's not working for you, but I suspect your code was incorrect (maybe the _parent._parent.PLAYTILE was the wrong path?) If you're still having trouble, please post an example FLA that demonstrates the issue.

Re Forum:

I thought you archived or deleted older forum posts, because when I search for posts under my user name, only these two 2010 threads come up. There is something wrong with your forum Search. Under my user profile it says I have 33 posts:

 

Total posts: 33 | Search user’s posts

 

However when I click Search User's Posts or I click "view your posts", nothing older than 2010 shows up in the results.

 

 

Re Tween kill completion:

I will go explore your examples above now. Note that the _parent._parent. targetting was working fine. The tween DOES get killed. However the function and parameters do not trigger. I will do a test, as I suspect the tween is "looking" for the functions to complete in the wrong place.

[Rabies]

I'm sorry to be a pain, but your example above does not work. It kills the tween and does not trigger the complete function.

I have attached my FLA. The version in TweenLite.as says:

 

VERSION: 10.092

DATE: 3/31/2009

 

I guess I'll just try to upgrade to 11.

[Rabies]

It works with version 11.

So... I will switch.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't realize you were using such a stale version I typically test against the latest version. I think you'll like v11 much more anyway - check out http://blog.greensock.com/v11/ for details about what was improved.
