Issue w/tweening after changing movieclip frame [SOLVED]

[swiftmend]

Hi, I'm building a game, and using tweenmax as the enemies pathfinding (which works brilliant!)

 

Basically the enemy has a class attached to him, which, after he is spawned via code outside his class goes through and adds the tween, etc to him, BUT if I change that enemies frame in his own class the tween for some reasons stops after it moves to the first position... any clue why this would be? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

 

public function Enemy(code:int)

{

this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, beginClass);

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, eFrameEvents);

level = code;//set the level to the value passed in for use in other functions

}

private function beginClass(e:Event):void

{

_root = MovieClip(root);//defining the root

health = level * 5;

if (level == 1)

{

this.gotoAndStop(2); <--- THIS IS ISSUE: It changes his appearance all well and good, but seems to break the tween.

}

TweenMax.to(this, 20, {bezier:[{x:_root.wp2.x, y:_root.wp2.y}, {x:_root.wp2.x, y:_root.wp2.y}, {x:_root.wp3.x, y:_root.wp3.y}, {x:_root.wp4.x, y:_root.wp4.y}, {x:_root.wp5.x, y:_root.wp5.y}], orientToBezier:true});

}

Nope, I can't think of a good explanation unless you have code on that other frame that would interfere with the tween. It's tough to troubleshoot without being able to see an example FLA - any chance you could post one? No need to post your production files - just whip together a super-simple FLA that reproduces the issue. (oh, and don't forget to zip your file(s) before posting them)

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I've narrowed it down it only seems to be affecting some of my graphics - not all of them, do you have a private place I can attach/email you a sample + graphics?

Yep, it looks like an issue in your code - your beginClass() is getting called over and over again for the problem graphic, and that method is where your tween code is too, so it's spawning a bunch of tweens, each of which overwrites the previous one and I'd be willing to bet that the values you're plugging into the tween have changed by the last time beginClass() gets called for that item.

Brilliant! I solved this - sorry for something that was my fault.
