export to Flash player 7

[friendlygiraffe]

is it possible to export a TweenLite powered swf to Flash player 7?

it seems to work with TweenLite, but with TweenMax I get a load of errors

Yep, the reason you get the errors in TweenMax is simply because it activates a bunch of plugins by default that require at least Flash Player 8 (like all the filter plugins). This is a Flash issue, not TweenMax - Flash didn't offer filters before v8. You can manually delete or comment out the activation lines in TweenMax if you want (they're clearly marked towards the top of the class file).

Marvelous. Thanks

nearly there, I have opened TweenMax.as and commented out the plugins import

//import com.greensock.plugins.*;

I deactivated the blur plugin and a few others

//BlurFilterPlugin	

but I'm still getting errors at line 420:

plugin.add(pt.target, prop, pt.start, pt.change);

anything else I need to comment out?

Don't comment out the import statement for the plugins - it still needs that for many of the plugins that are Flash 7 compatible.

ok I commented out all the activation lines in TweenMax

 

I also commented out the plugin lines and it works now. Luckily I am only using simple tweens
