Can I use a var for autoAlpha value?

[ngrinchenko]

I would like to find out if I can use a var for alpha values in TweenMax.

Here is what I have and it doesn't work:

var thumbFadeIn:Number = .3;

TweenMax.to(e.currentTarget.blackBox, .5,{ alpha:thumbFadeIn } );

 

The reason I tried it, because previously I used this line for scale tween, which worked:

var thumbSmall:Number = 1;
thisOne.x = thisOne.myx = (84 + padding) *item;

TweenMax.to(e.currentTarget, .5, { scaleX:thumbSmall, scaleY:thumbSmall, x:e.currentTarget.myx, y:0 } );

Yes, you can use a var for alpha. Your first bit of code should work fine.

Very odd that it doesn't.

If you can't get it to work please post a very simple file with only the code and assets necessary to replicate the problem and I'm sure we can get it resolved.

You are right. I tested it while making a simple file and everything has worked. Error has to be somewhere in the code not related to greensock.

I will use an actual number rather than the var in my case, since this way it works.

Thanks for offering to look into this case.
