How to make own tween for TweenMax.fromTo

[Dieter]

Hey all,

 

I've been using Greensock libraries for a long time now. Today is the first time I had to use the fromTo method though.

With TweenLite package I could easily make a tween like this:

 

var myTween:TweenLite = new TweenLite(myMc, 1, {alpha:0});

 

How would I do this with the tweenTo method though? I need to do this for reverting the animation.

 

Thanks beforehand!

 

Cheers,

Dieter.

hi,

 

I'm a little confused as first you mention fromTo() which is a method of TweenMax.

 

Later you mention tweenTo() which is a method of TimelineMax. I don't know what you mean by reverting the animation. do you mean reversing or re-setting?

 

please explain the exact effect or animation you wish to accomplish. thanks

I'm sorry. I was a bit in a rush earlier so didn't completely explained myself.

 

I'm talking about the fromTo() method from the TweenMax library.

 

With reverting I indeed meant reversing.

 

I want to achieve what the transformAroundCenter does. Basically transform/scale a movieclip then reverse it after a certain amount of time. I thought I could do that by using the TweenMax library in OO principle.

ok, that helps. start with something like:

 

TweenMax.fromTo(mc, 1, {alpha:0}, {alpha:1, repeat:1, repeatDelay:3, yoyo:true});

 

that tween will take 1 second to fade mc's alpha from 0 to 1. there will be a 3 second delay and then the tween will reverse.

 

i you have any questions about any part of that let me know.

Hmm... that works I guess.

So there is no way to do it the OO way? How would I access the tween from another method then? No chance?

var tween:TweenMax = TweenMax.fromTo(mc, 1, {alpha:0}, {alpha:1, repeat:1, repeatDelay:3, yoyo:true});
