Tweenmax Video Tween Bug...Help

[johnblaze]

I currently have a movie clip on my stage called light, within that movieclip I have a looping video effect...the video loop in the mc is 201 frames, which loops perfectly.

 

I have a TweenMax code on my main stage which makes the looping video play for 5 seconds and loop, the code I have is as followed:

----------

import com.greensock.*;

import com.greensock.easing.*;

 

TweenMax.to(light, 5, {frame:201, ease:Linear.easeNone, repeat:-1});

----------

Now the video and tween code work perfectly when I test the movie in flash but when I play the movie in a browser there is a twitch which I believe happens when it gets to the end of the video....Can anyone help me with this or give me some advice...please keep in mind I am not an expert coder and I am new to Greensock tweening codes.

 

Note: The code I am using above was originally from an AS3 project and I am currently using it in this AS2 project...Can that be the issue? if so can you tell me what the correct AS2 code would be for this looping timing effect...thanks

looks good to me, can you post a file that only exhibits this behavior?

 

if not I would suggest making the duration much faster and slower and see if you get the twitch consistently or can detect exactly what frames if any are being dropped.

Here is a link to view the video....you can see the twitch during the video loop. I tried making it faster and slower but still get the same. Odd because when I test it in flash the movie plays fine. Any idea???

 

 

thanks

This has nothing to do with your problem, but damn thats one hell of a nice preloader you got there!

thanks MJ....

 

 

Hey carl schooff any idea of what you think it might be? take a look and let me know if you have any advice....thanks

 

look forward to your feedback.

i see the twitch. it actually looks like it is slowing down / stuttering.

 

if it is working fine in Flash it really shouldn't change in the browser... if anything it should run better.

 

is the 5 second duration you have on the tween drastically different then the normal playback time of the video?

 

 

without seeing the files, don't know what it could be.

Hi Carl....thanks for the feedback, I actually figured out what was wrong with the file...I was going to send you the file so I isolated the video and placed it on a seperate fla and tested it and it worked fine so I decided to do a process of elimination to figure out what was making the glitch to the video. After removing all or most of the graphics from my original file I found that the issue was my background graphics...more specific it was a graphic which I had in the background that had a blur filter added to it....once I removed the flash blur filter the video played perfectly again. Its very odd but I have noticed in the past that when using the flash blur filter that it does make it stall during tweens animations and so on...so I had to remove the blurred grphic that I had...

 

thanks for the feedback.
