Shadow problem when rotationY from 90 to 0

[jasminej]

I am working on the 3D flip animation.

 

It works well when I set rotationY from 0 to -90(shadow gets narrow and smaller). But if I use the almost the same code, just change the rotationY from 90 to 0, its not working properly, it looks like the shadow is always the same size of the original object, there is no shadow changing process from small to big.

 

Here is the code:

 

mc1.rotationY = 90;

 

tp2 = new TweenProxy3D(mc1);

tp2.rotationY = 90;

 

TweenMax.to(tp2, 2,

{

rotationY:0,

dropShadowFilter:getShadow(80, 75, 0.5)});

 

Anything wrong in code? Thanks!

I don't see any obvious errors and I tested your code on my end and it seemed to work fine. Maybe I substituted the wrong values in the wrong places. Make sure you've got the latest version of all the classes and if you're still having trouble, please post a sample FLA that can be published to see the issue.

Thanks for the quick response. Please see the attachment.

 

I guess maybe because the tween 90->0 is after the tween 0->-90, not too sure, just the second flip is not the reverse shadow as the first one.

I don't see the problem - it seems to be acting the way I'd expect based on your code. What do you mean by "the second flip is not the reverse shadow as the first one"? Your code is tweening to a DropShadowFilter that has a distance of 160, an angle of 75, and an alpha of 0.5 and then you do another tween to the exact same values (so the shadow won't appear to change because it's identical to the previous values). See what I mean? Are you wanting the shadow to return back to the object and fade out? Please explain exactly what you think isn't working properly (maybe I'm missing something obvious).

You are right, I have to set different DropShadowFilter for the second flip.

 

Thank you so much!
