[Doobers plopping out - how to squeeze and bounce at the same time]

Thank you I didn't realize that the restart() method will cancel a delay and execute the tween immediately.

 

I've updated my test code here

It runs good enough now, thanks

[Doobers plopping out - how to squeeze and bounce at the same time]

Hello again,

 

I've come forward with the following code but still have 3 problems:

 

1) How to run the flyTween on mouse over event?

2) How to add the "polaroid blitz" tween at the very end?

3) Don't know how to remove the mouse over handler at the end - since it is an anonimous closure

 

Thank you for any hints

[Doobers plopping out - how to squeeze and bounce at the same time]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to reproduce "doobers" - i.e. coins, stars, etc. provided to players in games after they performed simple tasks, like chopping a tree.

 

The doobers would usually

 

1) Bounce and change dimensions at the same time (bigger width, smaller height and then back to normal)

2) Fly in a bezier curve up to the score bar

3) Lighten up in a polaroid effect for a split-second.

 

I have prepared a complete working example and screenshot for the 2)

 

but don't know how to do 1) and 3).

 

Any ideas please?

 

Regards

Alex

 

P.S. Below my test case code and screenshot:
