[TimelineMax Sequence Tweening being messed around]

Hi Jack,

 

I was in holliday the last weeks, so my answer is late:

 

1. no, sorry this does not work...(copied and pasted the function)

 

2. There is no logical problem, because there is no need for a firstFadeIn. Its an endless loop, so when the timeline ends the first picture/object is shown - still when the timeline begins.

The timeline is build correctly with my function, but it is not starting to play with the first picture, but with the last (not the last tween!). The last picture is shown for the whole timeline duration with no tween. After that the timeline plays in correctly.

 

Thats not what we need, because the timeline can have a duration of 1 hour. Nobody wants to wait 1 hour to see the first tween/the next picture.

 

I am using Flash Professional CS6 and Flashbuilder 4.6 (yes, a legal registered copy).

I tried it both with swc import and source path definition.

 

 

Thanks!!!

Daniel

 

Heres my function:

        private function buildTL2(objects:Array,duration:Number, blendDuration:Number):TimelineMax
        {
            var tll:TimelineMax=new TimelineMax({repeat:-1});
            
            for (var i:uint=0; i<objects.length; ++i)
            {
                if(i>0)
                    tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[i],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true}),-blendDuration);
                
                tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[i],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true}),duration);
                
            }

            tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[0],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true}),-blendDuration);
            
            
            return tll;
        }

Hi Carl,

 

I am compiling inside Flash Professional CS6 - and its compiling very well on 3 different systems. You just need to hit <ctrl><enter> (PC). Or just build your own AIR-Project and c/paste the buildTL2()-function.

 

TweenMax.Version=12.0.11

 

the first tween is not the tween you marked as first tween.

This the one:
 

tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[i],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true}),duration);

The first tween has a positive starttime (duration = 5s).

The timeline shoud start with the first sprite showing it for 5s and then blend over to the next.

 

The one you marked is the last tween: object[0] is blending in, so the loop is endless.

 

Any other is described above:

...the timeline is built, but isn't playing in a right way; Its starting with the last picture then you have to wait numberOf(objects)*duration befor its blinking once and playing in the expected way.

Hi,

 

thank you very much for your reply!

 

The missing files error is a runtime-error not an compile-error and is caused by the missing images in the defined imageFolder in the line:

var fd:File=new File("C:\\TimelineTest_27-09-2013\\Bilder");

Duplicate variable definition is a warning not an error. You can compile that fla by ignoring all warnings. Just put some images (jpg) into the folder defined above.

 

The timeline-build is happening in the function buildTL2() (see code below and the attached fla)

 

I'm not splicing an array anywhere. The array is built after all Images in the folder are loaded and is consisting of the rawcontent of all successfully loaded loader (imageLoader when only jpgs are in the defined folder).

 

Also, as you can see in the code below, the first tween starts at 0 in the timeline, because of the IF(i>0)-Statement in the loop.

        private function buildTL2(objects:Array,duration:Number, blendDuration:Number):TimelineMax
        {
            var tll:TimelineMax=new TimelineMax({repeat:-1});
            
            //var animArr:Array=new Array();
            var td:Number=0;
            
            for (var i:uint=0; i<objects.length; ++i)
            {
                if(i>0)
                    tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[i],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true}),-blendDuration);
                
                tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[i],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true}),duration);
                
            }
            tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[0],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true}),-blendDuration);
            
            
            return tll;
        }

So unfortunately you answer does not clear anything up

I commented out all unneeded code in the TLTestMain.as

 

After compiling you should see output like this:

[TimelineMax Sequence Tweening being messed around]

Hi Greensock Support,

 

i think this is the right topic, because i´m trying to get a simple endless-loop Sequence to run:

private function buildTL2(objects:Array,duration:Number, blendDuration:Number):TimelineMax
		{
			var tll:TimelineMax=new TimelineMax({repeat:-1, paused:true});
			
			//var animArr:Array=new Array();
			var td:Number=0;
			
			for (var i:uint=0; i<objects.length; ++i)
			{
				if(i>0)
					tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[i],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true}),-blendDuration);
				
				tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[i],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true}),duration);
				
				td=1;
					
					
				//tll.append(this.animINOUT(objects[i],duration,blendDuration),-blendDuration);
				
				//animArr.push(this.animINOUT(objects[i],duration,blendDuration));
			}
			tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[0],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true}),-blendDuration);
			
			//tll.append(TweenMax.fromTo(objects[i],blendDuration,{autoAlpha:1, immediateRender:true},{autoAlpha:0, immediateRender:true}),duration);
			//tll.appendMultiple(animArr, 0, "normal", -blendDuration);
			
			return tll;
		}

No way to get this work: the timeline is built, but isn't playing in a right way; Its starting with the last picture then you have to wait numberOf(objects)*duration befor its blinking once and playing in the expected way. Tryied with play(0), restart(), gotoAndPlay(0), gotoAndStop(9) and play(), etc.

 

In Flash its working, in AIR 3.2-3.8 not. Why???

In the attached .fla you can find several ways to build the timeline:
- tl.append(TweenMax)

- tl.appendMultiple(Array(TimelineMax))

- tl.appendMultiple(Array(Animation))
