Tween object tint + dropshadow with different colors

[eerdepeer]

Hi, I'm trying to tint a button object on hover, but when I tint the object and give the dropShadowFilter another tint, the dropshadow's tint will be overruled by the tint of the object.

 

For example:

TweenMax.to(mc, 1, {tint:0xFFFFFF, delay:1, dropShadowFilter:{color:0x000000, alpha:1, blurX:2, blurY:2, strength:1, angle:45, distance:4}});

 

The dropshadow will be white (0xFFFFFF) after two seconds. What I want is the object to become white and the dropshadow to become black. How can I do this?

Yep, that's just the way Flash works (tints color EVERY pixel including filter ones) - it has nothing to do with TweenLite/Max specifically. You can easily get the effect you're after, though, by nesting your MovieClip/Sprite inside another one so that you can tint the internal (nested) one and apply the DropShadowFilter to the parent one.

That's cool. I already made double movieclips on top of each other. But that's double work when changing the coordinates or scaling. Thanks!
