So I was trying to find a nice way to make a lot of automatic tweens (for lack of a better term) and I found the bubble example from snorkl (http://www.snorkl.tv/2010/12/timelinemax-bubbles-play-pause-and-rewind-particle-systems/) I used his code and modified it to better fit my needs (took out a lot of the randomness and the buttons) but now the clips won't tween. They are placed on the screen, but don't move at all.
Also, I already had my own randomRange function defined elsewhere in my project.
Heres the code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var tl:TimelineMax=new TimelineMax({paused:true,onComplete:done});
function createWords() {
//create a word (attach symbol in library with Class Bubble) and position on stage
var word:words = new words();
word.y=500;
word.x=randomRange(100,400);
word.alpha=1;
addChild(word);
//create timeline for each word
var nestedTl:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax();
nestedTl.insert(TweenMax.to(word,17, {y:-50, ease:Linear.easeNone}));
//append new timeline very close to when the previous one started
//don't even ask about the offset...k?
tl.append(nestedTl, 6);
}
function done() {
trace("the party's over");
}
function init() {
for (var count:Number = 0; count<50; count++) {
createWords();
}
}
init();
