Novice question #1

[ngrinchenko]

i am using Flash MX 2004 to practice the code, so i am trying to figure out how to tweak it to work in AS2.

it does not seem to work.

i am fine with Tweening Basics engine, but as soon i move onto work with Plug in Explorer i get error messages in Flash.

Here is the code which was generated by Plug in Explorer:

 

import com.greensock.*;

import com.greensock.easing.*;

 

TweenMax.to(mc, 1, {dropShadowFilter:{color:0xff0000, alpha:1, blurX:12, blurY:12, distance:12}});

 

Here is the code which i modified to try to make it work for AS2:

 

 

import com.greensock.*;

import com.greensock.easing.*;

 

import com.greensock.plugins.*;

 

TweenPlugin.activate([DropShadowFilterPlugin]);

 

TweenLite.to(dot_mc, 1, {dropShadowFilter:{color:0xff0000, _alpha:55, _blurX:12, _blurY:12, _distance:12}});

 

 

to cover the basics, yes the "com" folder for tweenLite AS2 is in the same folder as the flash working file

Filters weren't added to Flash until Flash 8.

 

Mx2004 doesn't support them. That is why the code won't work.

 

You should be okay with doing basic tweens, but there have been many additions to the AS2 language and Flash player since 2004.
