import errors on swf export

[timschutz]

The following is what I am importing into my current project:

 

import mx.transitions.Tween;

import mx.transitions.easing.*;

import flash.filters.GlowFilter;

import com.greensock.*;

import com.greensock.easing.*;

import com.greensock.plugins.*;

TweenPlugin.activate([FrameLabelPlugin, ColorTransformPlugin, TintPlugin]);

 

I recently added the greensock classes and plugins into the project.

 

When I go to export the swf, I get these errors:

 

The class 'mx.transitions.easing.Back' cannot be imported because its leaf name is already being resolved to imported class 'com.greensock.easing.Back'.

Type mismatch in assignment statement: found MovieClip where String is required.

There is no property with the name '_currentframe'.

There is no method with the name 'duplicateMovieClip'.

 

Is there a way around this? Going back and changing existing tweens is not an option at this point.

 

Thanks,

Tim

If you can not change how the tweens work you might want to go through and include only the tweens you want from the mx.transitions.Tween classes.

 

For example import everything but mx.transitions.Tween.Back that way you can use the Back tween as defined in com.greensock.easing.Back;

[timschutz]

That still requires going through every tween (there are a great number of them) and making the change though wouldn't it?

Change your imports, not your tweens.

Ok, how do I point tweens previously using the mx classes to the greensock class? If I remove the mx.transitions.easing class, no tweens occur at all.

 

Sorry, I am new to classes!

Post your code so I can look at what you are doing. From here I am not really sure what you are doing and why it is failing.

Here are my imports:

 

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
import com.greensock.*; 
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;
TweenPlugin.activate([FrameLabelPlugin, ColorTransformPlugin, TintPlugin]);

 

Here is an example of a tween using the mx class:

 

new Tween(mc, "_x", Regular.easeInOut, 0, 100, .3, true);

 

Unless I remove mx.transitions.easing.*, the above tween doesn't happen.

[stats]

change import mx.transitions.easing.*; to mx.transitions.easing.Regular; and include only the actual classes from mx.transitions.easing.* that you are using.

[timschutz]

Yes, that did it. It makes sense. I just don't know enough about classes....

 

Thanks for your help!
