[H-Flipped image rotates on select/move action]

Hi,

 

I'm using TransformManager 1.85, dated 10/28/2009. I'm not sure if that's the latest, the greensock homepage mentions 1.82

Anyway, when I move a symbol that's mirrored horizontally (h-flipped with a scaleX < 0), the target rotation is set to 180 and the target's scalyY is set to < 0.

But when I move something, the rotation should remain untouched AFAIK and the scaleX and scaleY should remain untouched (I'm not resizing).

It's rather annoying...

 

I traced it down to the TransFormManager's updateSelection method, in line 1236, see the arrow below in the code. Maybe the transform matrix doesn't cope with flipped symbols?

 

public function updateSelection($centerOrigin:Boolean=true):void { //Includes resizing the _dummyBox.
 if (_selectedItems.length != 0) {
...
if (_selectedItems.length == 1) {
	...
	if (!t.hasOwnProperty("content") && t.width != 0) { //in Flex, SWFLoaders/Images and some other components don't accurately report width/height
		...
-----------------> _dummyBox.transform.matrix = t.transform.matrix = m; <----------------- Here's the line that sets the rotation and scaleY
	} else {
		r = t.getBounds(t);
		_dummyBox.graphics.drawRect(r.x, r.y, r.width, r.height);
		_dummyBox.transform.matrix = t.transform.matrix;
	}
} else {
           ...
       }
}

 

I hope it's a small bug, not a 'feature'.

[Sounds on timeline?]

Hi,

 

I'm working with the TimelineMax, and besides tweens, I'd like to add audio (Sounds class) on the timeline.

But when I pause or stop the timeline, the sounds continue playing.

I was wondering if TimeLineMax has any features that help me putting the sound on the timeline and manages the pause and gotoTime handling for me.

Maybe something with a sub-timeline?

 

var _soundChannel : SoundChannel;
var _instance:Sound; // A class instance with a dynamically instantiated Sound.

var props:Object = {
delay: 0,
overwrite: OverwriteManager.AUTO,
onStart: function() { _soundChannel = _instance.play(); },
onComplete: function() { _soundChannel.stop(); }
};
timeLine.insert(new TweenLite(instance, duration, props), startTime);

 

TIA

[Bezier tween draw curve [SOLVED]]

Hi all,

 

I'm using the bezier/bezierThrough tweening facility (wauw, really easy )

In order to facilitate my tween path (I have to set the coordinates by hand) I'd like to know how I can draw the bezier curve itself,

so that I can visualize the path and edit the points without having to run the tween every time.

(Like the line in the bezier/bezierTrough example, except I don't need to click to add extra points).

 

So, in short, how can I draw the bezier curve itself? Does the tween class uses the defualt bezier from adobe?

 

Thanks!

Ronaldo
