    HELP - transformOrigin/smoothOrigin problem

    in GSAP

    Posted

    well, that explains it!  doh.

     

    i ended up doing this:  

    See the Pen avqpEN by wilbsy (@wilbsy) on CodePen

     

    it's pretty hacky, but basically works...  however, it sometimes shows a flash of the box in the wrong place (fairly random - seems like it renders for a split second before the props are set - sometimes it runs with no issue at all).  any ideas on how to smooth this out?

     

    thanks!

    HELP - transformOrigin/smoothOrigin problem

    in GSAP

    Posted

    hello and thanks in advance,

     

    i'm having trouble with transformOrigin/smoothOrigin (see codepen).  it's not functioning as expected.  the block should rotate as if it's rolling on the ground (as much as a rectangular block would roll).  basically, trying to do something like this demo:

    what am i doing wrong?

     

    thanks!

    motionBlur not showing in scaleX/Y animation...

    in GSAP (Flash)

    Posted

    i'm having trouble with the motionBlur in relation to objects that are scaling... it's just not happening. works with all x/y movements, but nothing when scaling... seems like i've used it for scaling in the past...

     

    i'm using the most recent version of TweenLite, flash cs5.5, publishing to fp9, and here's my simple tween...

     

    TweenLite.to( mc, time, { delay:delay, motionBlur:{strength:1, quality:2}, scaleX:1, scaleY:1 } );

    (mc's original scale is 0)

     

    any suggestions as to what i'm doing wrong?

     

    thanks

    top/bottom stretch handle rotations switched...

    in TransformManager (Flash)

    Posted

    i found a minor error in the TransformManger VERSION: 1.963

     

    the top and bottom cursorRotation's were switched. they should be...

     

    createHandle("t", "stretchV", -90, 0, "b");

    createHandle("b", "stretchV", 90, 0, "t");

     

    instead of...

     

    createHandle("t", "stretchV", 90, 0, "b");

    createHandle("b", "stretchV", -90, 0, "t");

     

    like i said, minor... just wanted to point it out.

     

    thanks for building such great tools!

    TransformMatrixPlugin... Error #1069

    in GSAP (Flash)

    Posted

    just in case there was something somewhere else in the app that was screwing things up, i decided to run a test in a new fla with nothing else... so i just put the following on the timeline...

     

    import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;
import com.greensock.OverwriteManager; 

TweenPlugin.activate( [ TransformMatrixPlugin ] );
OverwriteManager.init( OverwriteManager.CONCURRENT ); 

TweenLite.to( this.mc, 0.5, { skewY2:-50 } );
TweenLite.to( this.mc, 0.5, { scaleX:0.5 } );

     

    the OverwriteManager worked, but still no skew... i even deleted all the aso files and tried an earlier gs package...

     

    i feel like i must missing something obvious?

     

    can i activate all plugins at once to test?

     

    thanks

    TransformMatrixPlugin... Error #1069

    in GSAP (Flash)

    Posted

    i'm getting a Error #1069: Property skewY2 not found error...

     

    i've activated the plugin: TweenPlugin.activate( [ TransformMatrixPlugin ] );

     

    also the OverwriteManager.init( OverwriteManager.CONCURRENT ); isn't working properly...

     

    i have the most recent version... is there any problem with the latest build?

     

    what else could be going wrong?

     

    thanks

    feature request... TimelineLite.appendLabel()

    in GSAP (Flash)

    Posted

    i may be missing it, but the only mode of adding labels i've found requires a time value... but i'd really like to append it just as i would an additional tween. for instance...

     

    tl.append( new TweenLite( target, 0.5, { vars } ) );

    tl.appendLabel( "myLabel" ); // instead of tl.myLabel( "over", 0.5 );

    tl.append( new TweenLite( target, 0.5, { vars } ) );

     

    the reason being, anytime i want to add a label in a complicated timeline sequence, i have to do a trace( tl.currentTime ) in order to figure out the time value... whereas if i could append the label, perhaps with the same offset option as append(), i'd save a lot of time and i wouldn't have to change the value every time i altered the portion of the timeline that preceded the label.

     

    or am i missing something?

     

    thanks

    modifying TweenProxy3D...

    in GSAP (Flash)

    Posted

    i'd like to make a simple modification to the TweenProxy3D which would notify me when an object's rotationX/Y is between 90 and 270 (so i know when the object's rear side is facing the user)... could you lead me in the right direction?

     

    thanks

    random fail...

    in GSAP (Flash)

    Posted

    i was creating a dummy swf to use as filler for some debugging, but i wanted some tweens (and other stuff) going on within it so that i could know that it was being thoroughly unloaded when i wanted it gone (no straggling ENTER_FRAME listeners etc)... so i set up something real quick with two stage items tweening back and forth on a loop... the strange thing is that most of the time (not always), the mc2 object tweening on the y axis (see source files - http://wilbcorp.com/downloads/tl_test.zip ) gets stuck at the top and no longer continues tweening... i had started with the most basic setup...

     

    function forward():void
{
TweenLite.to( this.mc2, 1, {y:"300", motionBlur:true} );
TweenLite.to( this.mc, 1, {x:"300", motionBlur:true, onComplete:back} );
trace( "_tester.swf TweenLite loop is running" );
}

function back():void
{
TweenLite.to( this.mc2, 1, {y:"-300", motionBlur:true,} )
TweenLite.to( this.mc, 1, {x:"-300", motionBlur:true, onComplete:forward} );
}

     

    i figured maybe all it needed was a little stricter setup (overwrites, OverwriteManager, absolute coordinates), but mc2 is still getting stuck... i've never had this issue in actual applications (and it's certainly not the way i would normally do things), but i was surprised to see it happen in such a simple situation... is there something i'm missing?

     

    thanks

     

     

    also...

    i'm using the latest version... just downloaded it a few days ago.

    Loader.unloadAndStop() doesn't stop Tweenlite...

    in GSAP (Flash)

    Posted

    today i built a little flash modal sort of thing... when loading a swf into the modal, i use a test swf that has some objects getting tweened around using TweenLite (a continuous loop via onComplete that traces every cycle ) along with a Timer (that traces every 2 sec)... and when you close the modal, the loader's unloadAndStop method is called... the timer is killed (note: i also checked to see if an ENTER_FRAME listener would be effectively killed, and it was), but of course the TweenLite tweens keep on going...

     

    so i looked around for a method that would dig into the children of an object and kill all their tweens... i didn't find anything (i may have overlooked it), so i took the basics of killTweensOf() and wrote this:

     

    var movie:MovieClip = loader.getChildAt( 0 ) as MovieClip;
var masterList:Dictionary = TweenLite.masterList;
for( var key:Object in masterList )
{
var p:* = key.parent;
while( p )
{
	if( p == movie ) 
	{
		var a:Array = masterList[ key ];
		var i:int = a.length;
		var tween:TweenLite;
		while (i--) 
		{
			tween = a[ i ];
			if( !tween.gc ) 
			{
				tween.complete( true, true );
				tween.setEnabled( false, true );
			}
		}
		delete masterList[ key ];
	}
	p = p.parent;
} 
}

     

    it works, but i'm curious... is there a better way to do this?

     

    thanks

    MotionBlur problem with nested objects...

    in GSAP (Flash)

    Posted

    yes, i am using the latest version...

    when i slowed things down i noticed that it's actually displaying the blur portion of the tween as if the object were rotated 180 degrees... strange... and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with nesting... some tweens blur just fine, others don't.

     

    here's an example of the same tween with and without motionBlur...

    http://wilbcorp.com/downloads/motionblur.zip

     

    TweenLite.to( obj, 3, { y:61 } );

    TweenLite.to( obj, 3, { y:61, motionBlur:true } );

     

    thanks

    MotionBlur problem with nested objects...

    in GSAP (Flash)

    Posted

    when i use the motion blur plugin on a nested object... the object being tweened appears in the wrong place while blurring...

    for example, i have a nested sprite and if i set motionBlur to true, the sprite seems to disregard the actual global coordinates (or miscalculate them) and display the blur animation incorrectly... after the tween, it reappears in the intended location.

    please help.

     

    thanks
