AS2: Delay question

[timaging]

Hi,

 

so, I've got my code set up, and it appears I should be able to use delay, but everything is coming in at once:

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;

TweenPlugin.activate([MotionBlurPlugin]);

logo.alpha=0

quoteButton.alpha=0

TweenMax.to(logo, 1, {_motionBlur:true, _x:98, _alpha:1});
TweenMax.to(text01, 1, {_motionBlur:true, _x:8, _alpha:1});
TweenMax.to(text01, 2, {_alpha:0, _delay:6});
TweenMax.to(text02, 1, {_motionBlur:true, _x:8, _alpha:1, _delay:6});
TweenMax.to(text02, 2, {_alpha:0, _delay:10});
TweenMax.to(text03, 1, {_motionBlur:true, _x:8, _alpha:1, _delay:10});

TweenMax.to(quoteButton, 1, {_y:"10", _alpha:1, _delay:11});

 

Is there something I'm missing?

 

Thanks,

Dave

It's "delay", not "_delay"

 

And "motionBlur", not "_motionBlur" (don't forget to activate that plugin first too). You're a Club GreenSock member, right? If not, you won't have access to that plugin.

I tried delay and it didn't work. I'll try again.

 

yep... I'm the middle green member. works on AS3 but I'm not seeing it in AS2.

ok, so something's going but the alpha is working backwards?

 

This is duplicated from an AS3 banner that was working just moments ago.

 

I've attached the file.

 

thanks!!

It's because you're tweening _alpha to 1 instead of 100. In AS3, alpha goes from 0 to 1. In AS2, _alpha goes from 0 to 100.

WOW.... been a LONG time since I've used AS2. Thanks for that!!!

 

Also, I now see that motionBlur isn't working. Do I need to purchase RG for AS2 as well?

 

thank you!

No no, there aren't different memberships for AS2/AS3 - as long as you're "Really Green" you should definitely have that MotionBlurPlugin. I bet you just forgot to download it from your GreenSock account or something. https://www.greensock.com/account/ - and make sure that the MotionBlurPlugin.as file is in the com/greensock/plugins/ directory that's in the same place as your FLA when you publish it. And you did activate it, right? Your code indicates that you did (just making sure).

[timaging]

ok, I see now that there is an AS2 setup in the RG folder... thanks, but now that I put that in, the text isn't showing up...

 

see file attached. You can see that the logo blurs and the text doesn't even show. If I change it to TweenMax, it shows for some reason, but the logo is TweenLite, so that doesn't make sense to me. Do I need to break apart the text to use TweenLite?

 

sorry about this!

Your tweens are overwriting each other. By default, TweenLite uses the ALL_IMMEDIATE mode of overwriting whereas TweenMax uses AUTO which analyzes each tween of the same object and overwrites only the individual overlapping properties of concurrent tweens of the same object. ALL_IMMEDIATE overwrites all other tweens of the same object regardless of whether or not any properties overlap. This is the fastest mode and is really useful for a lot of scenarios like button rollovers/rollouts and it keeps the file size about 1k lower. All you need to do to make TweenLite use AUTO mode is to init OverwriteManager like:

 

OverwriteManager.init();

But again, adding that one line of code should fix your animation.
