Flex + gs

[andre-mazzitelli]

I always use TweenMax in Flash (as3) and I love it!

 

but now, I need to use it in a flex web application(flex 3). It's possible?

 

I tried and got no success

 

thanks for all.

Sure, people use GreenSock stuff in Flex all the time. Not sure why you ran into trouble. Feel free to post a super simple example project that demonstrates things not working.

I don't have the files right now, but when i get at home I'll write here... but what I tried to do is just:

 

Inside a

 

TweenMax.to(testButton, 1, {alpha:0});

 

and I added a button with a id = "testButton"...

 

I don't know if it's different in flex, i just did the same thing that I always do with flash.

 

Thanks

Yep, should work fine, although Flash won't allow text in TextFields to render any alpha values besides 0 or 1 unless the fonts are properly embedded into the TextField. Have you tried doing a simple position or rotation tween?

[andre-mazzitelli]

No, I did not. I'll try this later.

 

But i'm glad to know that TweenMax works with flex *-*

 

Thanks

here's the code

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 

and the error is: "Access of undefined property myButton. line 8" (the line that I'm using TweenMax)

 

What i did wrong? there's something that I forgot?

 

Thanks

The problem was that you were trying to run the code BEFORE the myButton object even existed - you need to tuck it into a function that gets triggered after Flex has read all the tags and instantiated the objects. Like this:

 

<br>			import com.greensock.TweenMax;<br><br>			private function init():void {<br>				TweenMax.to(myButton, 5, {x:200});<br>			}<br><br>		]]><br>

I got it!

 

Thanks man!
