I just deleted the ASO files and guess what? it worked. SMH For what it's worth, I'm on Flash CS4 on OS 10.6.6. and yes, i'd much rather use TweenLite.delayedCall.

yeah, i saw that - probably forgot to change that one back - but that was on function sequence02 - it never even got to execute. When i change it to TweenLite - there's still no dice. bizarre that it works for you no problem. maybe i just gotta start over again. not sure what's up. thanks for taking a look though. currently using setTimeout to get it to work. all the animation, etc. works fine...!

sure - i'm convinced it's something dumb on my part, but here is the attached FLA calling TweenLite that isn't working - check it out.

great - thank you. i understand that scope and AS2 are usually an issue. i thought the fourth parameter for TweenLite's delayedCall was whether you were using frames or seconds...? at least that's what the doc says.. as you'll see in my second example, i am: 1. using TweenLite 2. using _root (which should, hypothetically, eliminate all scope issues) 3. finding delayedCall does NOT get called with TweenLite but DOES with TweenNano. that kind of inconsistency just frustrates me with debugging. I appreciate your help!

great - now a previously working SWF is doing the exact same thing! i didn't change anything, either and everything is referencing "_root" ... it's animating sequence 1 like a charm, but never gets to sequence 2 - no trace either. i know its loading the class because it's initiating just fine. i am going insane from this. seems so straightforward. //***** IMPORTS *****\\ import flash.geom.Rectangle; import com.greensock.TweenLite; import com.greensock.plugins.TweenPlugin; import com.greensock.plugins.BlurFilterPlugin; TweenPlugin.activate([blurFilterPlugin]); import com.greensock.easing.*; function setVariables():Void{ //alpha _root.txt_1._alpha = _root.txt_2._alpha = _root.txt_3._alpha = 0; _root.cta_blue.visible = 0; _root.txt_3._xscale = _root.txt_3._yscale = 25; _root.txt_3._x=20; _root.txt_3._y=28; sequence01(); } function sequence01():Void{ TweenLite.to(_root.txt_1, 1.75, {_alpha:100, ease:Strong.easeOut, delay:.5}); TweenLite.to(_root.txt_2, 1.75, {_alpha:75, ease:Strong.easeOut,blurFilter:{blurX:3, blurY:3}, delay:.5}); TweenLite.to(_root.txt_3, 1.75, {_alpha:25, ease:Strong.easeOut,blurFilter:{blurX:5, blurY:5}, delay:.5}); TweenLite.delayedCall(4, sequence02); } function sequence02():Void{ trace('seq02'); TweenLite.to(_root.txt_1, .75, {_alpha:0,_width:617.65,_height:267.30,_x:545,_y:350,ease:Strong.easeOut,blurFilter:{blurX:5, blurY:5},delay:.50}); TweenLite.to(_root.txt_2, .75, {_alpha:100,_xscale:100,_yscale:100,_x:115.45,_y:126.00,ease:Strong.easeOut,blurFilter:{blurX:0, blurY:0}, delay:.52}); TweenLite.to(_root.txt_3, .75, {_alpha:75,_xscale:50,_yscale:50,_x:-150,_y:26,ease:Strong.easeOut,blurFilter:{blurX:5, blurY:3}, delay:.55}); TweenLite.delayedCall(4, sequence03); } function sequence03():Void{ TweenLite.to(_root.txt_2, .75, {_alpha:0,_width:617.65,_height:267.30,_x:545,_y:350,ease:Strong.easeOut,blurFilter:{blurX:5, blurY:5}, delay:.52}); TweenLite.to(_root.txt_3, .75, {_alpha:100,_xscale:100,_yscale:100,_x:115.45,_y:126,ease:Strong.easeOut,blurFilter:{blurX:0, blurY:0}, delay:.53}); TweenLite.delayedCall(4, sequence04); } function sequence04():Void{ TweenLite.to(_root.txt_3, .75, {_alpha:100,_x:1200,_y:500,_width:4103.75,_height:1658.90,ease:Strong.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(_root.cta_blue, .5, {_alpha:100,ease:Strong.easeOut,delay:.25}); } setVariables(); if i skip the delayedCall and go straight to sequence02, it works fine. *EDIT* If i change it all to TweenNano (vs. TweenLite) it works. I am using TweenLite so i can use the blur effect.

ok, so it works when i change this. to _root. in the second function. why would that matter if referencing it as this works in the first?? annoying. thanks anyway.

This is probably something i'm overlooking but i promise i've tried everything and read all the documentation. I've got a series of functions that run sequentially, and i'm using delayedCall at the end of each one to advance to the next. Problem is, my tweenNano functions (or basic as2 properties) aren't working, but i can trace no problem. example: stop(); /* IMPORT */ import flash.geom.Rectangle; import com.greensock.TweenNano; import com.greensock.easing.*; function sequence01():Void{ TweenNano.from(this.mc_backdrop, 1.5, {_height:1,_alpha:0,ease:Strong.easeOut,delay:.5}); //animate logos and buttons TweenNano.to(this.flowers, .5, {_alpha:100,_width:78,_height:34,ease:Back.easeOut,delay:1.5}); TweenNano.to(this.button, .5, {_alpha:100,_width:189,_height:28.2,ease:Back.easeOut,delay:1.75}); TweenNano.to(this.disc, .5, {_alpha:100,_width:88,_height:14.7,ease:Back.easeOut,delay:2.0}); //animate txt1 TweenNano.to(this.mc_txt1,1,{_alpha:100,ease:Strong.easeOut,delay:2.5}); TweenNano.delayedCall(4,sequence02); } all of that runs fine. here is sequence 2. again, i get the trace, but the movieclip "mc_txt1" does not fade down to 50%. function sequence02():Void{ trace("sequence 2 called"); TweenNano.to(this.mc_txt1,1,{_alpha:50,ease:Strong.easeOut,delay:2.5}); } I initiate the process simply by calling sequence01 at the bottom of the actions. what am i missing here??
