If, for example, you want MovieClip "mc1" to play() after the tween...

 

BAD: TweenLite.to(mc1, 2.5 , {alpha:1, onComplete:play()});

GOOD: TweenLite.to(mc1, 2.5 , {alpha:1, onComplete:mc1.play});

I do not understand why it does not work

I get this error message

 

Scene 1, Layer 'action', Frame 1, Line 86 1119: Access of possibly undefined property play through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.

Scene 1, Layer 'action', Frame 1, Line 116 1119: Access of possibly undefined property play through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.

 

what am I not doing right ?

[GreenSock]

Oh, it's because you're trying to call play() on a Loader instance - there is no such method. If you want to play the subloaded content (assuming it's a MovieClip), you'd need to call play() on the Loader's content and cast it as a MovieClip like:

 

TweenLite.to(loader1, 2.5 , {alpha:1, onComplete:MovieClip(loader1.content).play});

 

Of course you can only reference the content AFTER the Loader has completed loading the swf.

 

However, beware that there's a bug in Adobe's Loader class that can cause "content" to be invalid. To avoid this (and many other bugs), I'd recommend using LoaderMax. In that case, you'd play() the rawContent.

 

var loader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("child.swf", {onComplete:completeHandler, container:this});
loader.load();

function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   TweenLite.to(loader, 2.5 , {alpha:1, onComplete:loader.rawContent.play});
}

 

See http://www.LoaderMax.com to get LoaderMax. You probably already have it if you're using the latest version of the GreenSock tweening classes (it's in the zip).

Hey

I can not get it to work with LoaderMax.

for some reason I can not get it to wait for the onComplete, it immediately start to play ?

 

queue1.append( new SWFLoader("test/"+event.target.name+".swf", {name:"mainClip1", alpha:0, container:this, y:86, autoPlay:false}))

 

TweenLite.to(image1, 1.5 , {alpha:1, onComplete:image1.rawContent.play});
