[TimelineLite tween from problem]

Thanks for the feedback. The gotoAndPlay() method is working. I decided on option 2 for the stop() action because of file size. Anyway, everything is working great. I definitely think the TimelineLite approach is an improvement over TweenGroup.

 

One more thing I noticed. If I put a 0 duration time in the onComplete is only called once, or not at all. But if I put a 0.1 duration in then it is always called...

import com.greensock.*;

//create the timeline
var myTimeline:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite();

var count:Number = 0;

myTimeline.insert(TweenLite.from(square1, .5, {_x:-50}), 0);
myTimeline.insert(TweenLite.to(null, 0, {immediateRender:false, onComplete:traceMessage}, 0), 2);
myTimeline.insert(TweenLite.from(square2, .5, {_x:-50}), 2);
myTimeline.insert(TweenLite.from(square3, .5, {_x:-50}), 4);

function traceMessage()
{
trace("message traced "+count++);
}

button1.onRollOver = function()
{
myTimeline.stop();
myTimeline.gotoAndPlay(0);
}

button2.onRollOver = function()
{
myTimeline.stop();
myTimeline.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

button3.onRollOver = function()
{
myTimeline.gotoAndPlay(4);
}

Awesome! That makes sense.

 

Well, I have another one for you. In the code below. If I invoke the myTimeline.stop() method, then the myTimeline.gotoAndPlay() method, it doesn't resume playing the timeline again. However, if I invoke an extra myTimeline.play() method before the gotoAndPlay method it works.

import com.greensock.*;

//create the timeline
var myTimeline:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite();

myTimeline.insert(TweenLite.from(square1, .5, {_x:-50}), 0);
myTimeline.insert(TweenLite.from(square2, .5, {_x:-50}), 2);
myTimeline.insert(TweenLite.from(square3, .5, {_x:-50}), 4);

// With stop and gotoAndPlay (breaks)
button1.onRollOver = function()
{
myTimeline.stop();
myTimeline.gotoAndPlay(0);
}

// With stop, play and gotoAndPlay (works)
button2.onRollOver = function()
{
myTimeline.stop();
myTimeline.play();
myTimeline.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

button3.onRollOver = function()
{
myTimeline.gotoAndPlay(4);
}

 

And, is it possible to add a stop() action into the timeline at a certain time, the same way you can add labels?

 

Thanks again for your help.

This may or may not be a bug. However, when using the following code with ".from" the sequencing breaks (everything happens at once and myTimeline.stop() doesn't work...

 

import com.greensock.*;

//create the timeline
var myTimeline:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite();

myTimeline.insert(new TweenLite.from(square1, .5, {_x:-50}), 0);
myTimeline.insert(new TweenLite.from(square2, .5, {_x:-50}), 2);
myTimeline.insert(new TweenLite.from(square3, .5, {_x:-50}), 4);

//stop the timeline
myTimeline.stop();

 

However, using runBackwards:true works, but the objects properties aren't set until the delay time is reached ...

import com.greensock.*;

//create the timeline
var myTimeline:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite();

myTimeline.insert(new TweenLite(square1, .5, {_x:-50, runBackwards:true}), 0);
myTimeline.insert(new TweenLite(square2, .5, {_x:-50, runBackwards:true}), 2);
myTimeline.insert(new TweenLite(square3, .5, {_x:-50, runBackwards:true}), 4);

//stop the timeline
//myTimeline.stop();

 

Again, not sure if that's a bug or I'm just misunderstanding how to and from work.

 

THanks again

Thanks for the super fast response!

 

Forget about my second question about the "label" Just realized I was trying to put that in the stagger property and not the start time property.

[TimelineLite error [SOLVED]]

Hello,

 

Awesome classes by the way.

 

* VERSION: 0.99

* DATE: 10/4/2009

* AS2

 

I'm receiving the following error from TimelineLite. Attribute used outside of class. I believe the getChildren() function is missing a closing }.

 

also, is it possible to specify a label name in the insertMultiple function instead of a number (seconds)..ie

myTimeline.insertMultiple([new TweenLite(mc, 1, {y:"100"}),
                          new TweenLite(mc2, 1, {y:"120"}),
                          new TweenLite(mc3, 1, {y:"140"})],
                          0,
                          TweenAlign.START,
                          "label");

 

THanks
