TransformMatrix plugin and Bezier plugin

[frank6]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to use the Bezier plugin and the TransformMatrix plugin in the same tween?

 

Thanks in advance

in my tests no.

 

and from the documentation:

 

 

transformMatrix tween will affect all of the DisplayObject's transform properties, so do not use it in conjunction with regular x/y/scaleX/scaleY/rotation tweens concurrently.

 

 

bezier wants to alter x/y values that I assume are being overwritten by transform matrix.

Why would you want to?

 

You can't really use them both to affect the x/y/rotation values (they'd conflict with each other of course because they're both trying to take charge of those properties). You could use bezier to tween some values and then use an onUpdate to apply them to the transform.matrix I suppose, but again I'm not quite sure what the benefit would be.

Well my second question was Can you we use the Bezier plugin to affect the scale of a DisplayObject? Because I'm trying to create a "ZoomOut ZoomIn" effect so I would have use the BezierThrough plugin to scale to 1 and than scale to the desired scale.

Sure, the bezier plugin can handle pretty much any numeric property.

 

TweenMax.to(mc, 2, {bezier:[{scaleX:0.5, scaleY:0.5},{scaleX:1, scaleY:1}]});
