onUpDate

[gabriele]

Hi jack,

 

there is a way to increase the frequency of onUpDate without changing the frame rate of the movie?

 

I am working on a tail effect on a mc that I move with TweenMax.

 

I am applying blur effect and fade out tweening dots created with x and y coordinates each time onUpdate is called, but the movement has to be so fast and therefore frame rate is not enough to create cohesive tail....

 

I also tried to call dispatch an event at the beginning of the tween and start a set Timer and suing that, but it looks like I am not able to create dots that can cover the gaps...

 

 

 

Thank you very much for your help

i'm pretty certain onUpdate is always going to be locked to the ENTER_FRAME which will be tied to the framerate.

 

i'm sure if there was a way to have quicker and more reliable onUpdates, it would be in there already.

 

did you use onUpdateAfterEvent() with your Timer()?

Thank you for the answer but yes, I am doing in this way and still there are several gaps :

 

 

moveTimer = new Timer(0);

moveTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);

moveTimer.start();

 

// var myTween =TweenMax.to(this, .5, {bezierThrough:[{x:this, y:312}, {x:300, y:345}], orientToBezier:true, ease:Bounce.easeOut});

var myTween = TweenMax.to(this, .28, {bezierThrough:[{x:BezierX, y:BezierY}, {x:nX, y:nY}], scaleX:ScaleN, scaleY:ScaleN, ease:Sine.easeOut, onComplete:remove});

 

function onTimer(event:TimerEvent):void {

 

event.updateAfterEvent();

 

var sprMain : Sprite = addChild(new Sprite()) as Sprite;

 

sprMain.graphics.clear();

 

sprMain.alpha = .8;

 

sprMain.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);

 

sprMain.graphics.drawCircle(event.currentTarget.x, event.currentTarget.y, event.currentTarget.width / 2);

}
