repeating a tween rotation again, and again...

[b18269]

I have a rotating twitter feed that i want to rotate 10degrees every 2 seconds. It worked fine with the built in ease but Im new to greenshock and having trouble trying to figure out how to do this

 

The code below is what I have so far, all it does is tween to 1 position just once, thats it. But it is repeating every 2 seconds as I did a trace test.

 

repeatAgain()
function repeatAgain():void{
TweenMax.to(mytwitterfeed1, 1, {rotation:-10, ease:Bounce.easeOut, delay:2, onComplete:repeatAgain })
}

 

Can any of you more experienced guys shed some advice? Im not sure what I should be searching for, for help.....consecutive tweens, repeative tweens, realativre position tween from??

 

Thanks for help in advance,

yeah, you need to use a relative value.

 

after the tween runs once, it is already at the absolute value of -10. so subsequent tweens don't have a new position to go to.

 

just use a String value "in quotes" as your destination value and you will be fine:

 

repeatAgain()

function repeatAgain():void{

TweenMax.to(mytwitterfeed1, 1, {rotation:"-10", ease:Bounce.easeOut, delay:2, onComplete:repeatAgain })

}

 

by using a relative value each time the tween runs it will rotate to a position -10 degrees away from the objects current rotation
