Proper way to trigger function onStart

[Max]

I use TweenLite to tween Starling MovieClip objects.

 

My code looks like this:

for (var i:int = 0; i < stars.length; i++) {
   var _star:MovieClip = stars[i] as MovieClip;
   TweenLite.to(_star, 5, {x: 100, y: 100, visible: true, delay: 2 * i});
}

I want to call _star.start() for each star when it delay expires and it must start animation. Could you please show how to properly use onStart call and it's parameters?

main timeline code

var stars = [s1, s2]

for (var i:int = 0; i < stars.length; i++) {
   var _star:MovieClip = stars[i] as MovieClip;
   TweenLite.to(_star, 5, {x: 100, y: 100, visible: true, delay: 2 * i, onStart:_star.start, onStartParams:[i]});
}

inside star

function start(index) {
trace("i started and my index is " + index ); 
}

//outputs:

i started and my index is 0 (at time 0)

i started and my index is 1 (after 2 seconds)

Hi Carl,

 

Thank you for your reply! I expected that it must be simple and elegant and it is like this! As everything with GreenSock!

 

Thank you!
