Simple scrollRect reveal, what am I doing wrong? [SOLVED]

[X10]

Hi All,

I've just got back into AS3 & Flash, and Greensock of course, but I'm having some trouble with the scrollRect Plugin.

 

I have an mc on stage that I want to 'reveal' from the bottom upwards, if that makes sense.

However whatever I try with the scrollRect plugin I can't seem to get right!

 

It would be the opposite of this:

 

TweenLite.from(mc, 4.5, {scrollRect:{ y:0, bottom:-mc.height}});

 

Using the above code, the reveal comes from the top, but I want it to come from the bottom.

Any advice on values greatly appreciated!

Okay, figured it out!

 

I set the registration point to the bottom and immediateRender to true!

 

Thanks for looking!

Hey X10,

 

nice to see you around. glad you solved it and thanks for posting your solution.

 

scrollRect is great, but I've found that it naturally only allows the direction of the reveal to work in specific ways. changing the reg point was a clever approach.

Hi Carl,

Thanks for the welcome.

 

I think scrollRect would be a good subject for a tutorial, it has baffled me how it works, I had to play with it for ages before I tried changing the registration point. I still don't understand the logic of Top, Bottom, x, y etc., I only figured it out through trial and error.

The documentation for it could be more comprehensive I think, or at least some examples with explanation.

me too!

 

I know I have a file laying around somewhere that I used for experiments. If I find it i'll try to make something helpful out of it.
