alpha vs. autoAlpha plug in?

[ngrinchenko]

I am working on a set up where a lot of items animate to the stage from alpha = 0.

So I don't work with an empty screen in front of me I need to see all the items in the final stage of animation, i.e. I set alpha=1 when I see them on the stage.

Thus I am using TweenMax.from rather than TweenMax.to method.

What I am presently animating is an mc comprised from several mc buttons with their own animation.

In order to animate that comprised mc what is better to use alpha or autoAlpha?

Here is my full line of code:

 

TweenMax.from(comprised_mc, 1.5, {autoAlpha:0, delay:1.5});

Use autoAlpha as it will ensure that your buttons aren't clickable until you can see them.
