Novice question #2

[ngrinchenko]

i can not find any documentation or tutorials on how to tween the same _mc multiple times at a specified delays.

is there a way to make one _mc to do different things.

i.e. i would like it to zoom on the screen, then to change color, then to stay dormant for a few seconds, then start blinking, then move in position and then remain blinking there.

i am working in AS2 in Flash MX 2004

 

Could anyone provide a good lead to a tutorial on the subject or if it is a common question perhaps a sample code for AS2?

 

Thanks

Hi ngrinchenko and welcome to the Greensock forums.

 

Taking on board what Carl responded with in your other thread the "Delay" property can be used to delay tween to the same MC:

 

TweenLite.to(dot_mc, 1, {_y:55});

TweenLite.to(dot_mc, 1, {_x:55,delay:1});

TweenLite.to(dot_mc, 1, {_alpha:55,delay:2});

 

First dot_mc will move along the y axis to 55, a second later on the x axis to 55 and after another second it will alpha to 55.

 

You may want to consider using TimelineLite which I believe also works with AS2, though again not sure if it works 100% with Flash MX 2004.

 

I hope that helps, post back if you need further advice.

If you are using TweenLite multiple times on the same mc, then you need to init the OverwriteManager

http://www.greensock.com/overwritemanager/

 

import com.greensock.*;
OverwriteManager.init(2);
TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {_x:100});
TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {_y:300, delay:1});

 

For more control over robust sequences of tweens read up on TimelineLite/Max
