scaleX and scaleY not working in sequence [SOLVED]

[gilbejam]

Hi there. Hope somebody is able to help me on this one.

I've only just started using TimelineMax for tween sequences and I've come across some strange behaviour.

Basically, the problem is that I can tween in sequence other properties of my movieclip EXCEPT the scaleX or scaleY.

 

Here's the code:

 

var myTimeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax({align:TweenAlign.SEQUENCE, onComplete:gotoProfile});

myTimeline.append(new TweenMax(theClip, 1, {x:theClip.x + 10, scaleX:2, scaleY:2, ease:Circ.easeOut}));
myTimeline.append(new TweenMax(theClip, 0.75, {x:theClip.x - 10,scaleX:1, scaleY:1, ease:Cubic.easeIn}));
myTimeline.append(new TweenMax(theClip, 1, {alpha:0}));

 

I can't think why this might be occurring. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

J

There must be something else going on in your code that's interfering - could you please whip together a simple example FLA that demonstrates the problem? Don't forget to zip it before posting it here.

 

You are using AS3, right?

Thanks for having a look at this. Hopefully its just something simple i'm doing wrong.

 

There's a big comment in the code where the error occurs.

Basically just look for this:

var myTimeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax({align:TweenAlign.SEQUENCE, onComplete:gotoProfile});

 

Thanks in advance,

Yep, the whole project is in AS3

Yep, it was a problem in your code - you were creating a conflicting tween that was overwriting the one in your TimelineMax. When you click one of the polaroids, TransOutPolaroids() gets called and then MouseUpPolaroid() gets called immediately as well. Both are trying to scale the clip in different directions (one to scaleX/scaleY 200 and the other to scaleX/scaleY of 1). The one that got created last overwrites the first one (as it should). See the problem now?

That's awesome, thanks mate. I was looking in the wrong spot for the code to be breaking.

Much appreciated.
