Get time remaining in TweenMax using onUpdate?

[sideDoor]

Hello,

 

Is there anyway to get the value of the time remaining in a tween every time the onUpdate event fires? If my tween is tweening over 10 seconds, I want to see the time value decreasing, etc.

 

Thanks!

TweenMax instances have currentTime, currentProgress, totalTime, etc. properties (TweenLite has a few less).

 

You can use onUpdateListener and a TweenEvent to get to the tween instance through e.currentTarget and then you have access to those currentTime properties.

Thanks so much, duration - currentTime used in an onUpdate function did it!

Hi,

 

How can I do this to throwprops plugin?

 

ThrowPropsPlugin.to(mc, {throwProps:{

y:{velocity:yVelocity, max:bounds.top, min:bounds.top - yOverlap, resistance:300}

}, onUpdate:blitMask.update, ease:Strong.easeOut

}, 10, 0.3, 1);

I want to determine what is the remaining time, how far has it travelled, how many more remaining, etc. Thanks!

The ThrowPropsPlugin.to() method returns a TweenLite instance. You can use that to figure out the duration, how much time has elapsed, etc.

 

var tween:TweenLite = ThrowPropsPlugin.to(...);

//then later (assumes v12)...
trace("duration: "+tween.duration()+", current time: "+tween.time());

Wow that was fast. Thanks a lot for this. I was previously using tweenmax and I couldn't get it to show these properties.

 

Cheers!
