Using a variable but making it relative

[inorganik]

So, you can do this

 

TweenLite.to(eventItem2, .5, {y:"200", ease:Expo.easeOut});

 

And make "eventItem2" move 200 pixels from wherever it's at. The quotes make it relative. But how do you exchange "200" with a variable and keep the value relative? I am using the tween in a dynamic function that figures the distance on the fly, but I need it to be relative to where it's at, not a coordinate.

 

Thanks!

Don't know if it's the best solution, but here's one...

 

TweenLite.to(eventItem2, .5, {y:eventItem2.y+item2y, ease:Expo.easeOut});

Hi inorganik, have a look at this post viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5015&p=19754#p19754 I think it covers what you're asking.

try

 

var myValue:Number  = 200;

TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {x:String(myValue)})
