allTo option for TweenLite?

[timaging]

I was just searching through the forums to find out if my array was broken and ran across this:

 

"TweenLite doesn't have an allTo(), but TweenMax does (as of v11)."

 

but I need it to work in TweenLite because the file size doubles and over the banner ad size limit.

 

so, how do we do this in TweenLite:

 

var allClips:Array = [wordLine01];
TweenLite.allTo(allClips, 0, {autoAlpha:0});

 

thanks-

Dave

Hi Dave,

 

You can use v12 of GSAP for AS3/AS2 and expect 0 problems. In v12 you can use a simple TweenLite.to() to tween multiple targets like so:

 

TweenLite.to(allClips, 0, {autoAlpha:0});

THIS is outstanding news. As Always, Thank You Mr. Schoof!!!!!!!

Hi Carl,

 

this actually didn't work. Alpha didn't go to 0:

 

var allClips:Array = [wordLine01, wordLine01, wordLine01, wordLine01, wordLine01, wordLine01,
   wordLine01, sloanLogo, glowBar];
TweenLite.to(allClips, 0, {autoAlpha:0});

it also doesn't throw any errors so that makes it even tougher to figure out.

Are you activating the AutoAlphaPlugin?

I just put this in and it's still not working:

 

import com.greensock.plugins.*;
TweenPlugin.activate([MotionBlurPlugin, autoAlphaPlugin]);

something else I just noticed is that the v12 com folder makes a bigger swf than v11 by 2k. Doesn't sound like much but I still can't get my file under 30k

It's AutoAlphaPlugin, not autoAlphaPlugin (capitalize the A).

 

As for the file size, see #3 under the FAQ section of http://www.greensock.com/v12/

I tried it both ways and it still didn't work.

It sounds like there must be some other problem in your file - can you post a very simple FLA that demonstrates the issue so that we can publish on our end? It doesn't need to be your production file(s) - just something super simple. Are you getting any errors? AS2 or AS3?

[timaging]

absolutely. I can't attach it because it fails... both zip and fla fail.

 

sending to your email.

It looks like you just had some errors in your code. Your array only had wordLine01 repeated a bunch of times like [wordLine01, wordLine01, wordLine01...] instead of incrementing like [wordLine01, wordLine02, wordLine03...]. Another problem is that you used autoAlpha to make them all invisible and alpha 0, but then when you were trying to fade up the alpha in your TimelineLite, you only used alpha instead of autoAlpha, so the alpha was tweened perfectly but you'd never see anything because their "visible" property was still "false". I think you meant to do something like this:

 

var allClips:Array = [wordLine01, wordLine02, wordLine03, wordLine04, wordLine05, wordLine06,
                     wordLine07, sloanLogo, glowBar];
TweenLite.to(allClips, 0, {autoAlpha:0});

var timelineMain:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite({repeat:0});

timelineMain.appendMultiple([new TweenLite(sloanLogo,  2, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeIn}),
					   new TweenLite(glowBar,  2, {autoAlpha:.4, ease:Cubic.easeIn}),
					   new TweenLite(wordLine07,  2, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeIn}),
					   new TweenLite(wordLine06,  2, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeIn}),
					   new TweenLite(wordLine05,  2, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeIn}),
					   new TweenLite(wordLine04,  2, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeIn}),
					   new TweenLite(wordLine03,  2, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeIn}),
					   new TweenLite(wordLine02,  2, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeIn}),
					   new TweenLite(wordLine01,  2, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeIn})], 0, TweenAlign.START, 0.1);

stop();
