Tweening into place using SplitTextField question?

[sideDoor]

Hello,

 

We bought into the club, yah!

 

So, using the SplitTextField, I'm trying to tween text into place from random x/y coords - I can see from your example how easy it is to tween TO a random location:

 

// from the documentation:

for (var i:int = stf.textFields.length - 1; i > -1; i--)

{

TweenMax.to(stf.textFields, 1, {blurFilter:{blurX:10, blurY:10}, x:Math.random() * 650 - 100, y:Math.random() * 350 - 100, scaleX:Math.random() * 4 - 2, scaleY:Math.random() * 4 - 2, rotation:Math.random() * 360 - 180, autoAlpha:0, delay:Math.random() * 0.5, ease:Quad.easeIn, repeat:1, yoyo:true, repeatDelay:1.2});

}

 

...But to tween text INTO place from a preset random location escapes me - I've taken a quick look through the SplitTextField to see if the original x/y props of each split-created textfield are stored somewhere so I can use them to tween to...but can't seem to see if these values are saved somewhere...

 

Any advice?

Thanks,

Ahh, this works:

 

for (var i:int = 0; i < stf.textFields.length; i++)
{
origX.push(stf.textFields[i].x);
origY.push(stf.textFields[i].y);

stf.textFields[i].x = Math.random() * 650 - 100;
stf.textFields[i].y = Math.random() * 350 - 100;
}

for (i = stf.textFields.length - 1; i > -1; i--)
{
TweenMax.to(stf.textFields[i], .6, {x:origX[i], y:origY[i], ease:Quad.easeIn});
}

 

It'll do for what I'm trying to do, but is there an array of original props, er something?

 

Thanks!

Well, actually, my attempt above doesn't work that well, randomly the characters don't arrive at the original x/y... I'm sad... back to the drawing board...

Have you tried using TweenMax.from ?
