Hi Carl I'm working on an app for iOS where I want to load content dynamically from the library that contains text and graphics inside different MovieClip's. However, I have a problem, the code I have is for bitmap! How can I change it so it works for MovieClip instead? I want to use the MovieClip instead of bitmap? Also want to use the MovieClip class instead of Sprite class? LIke this, but this guy use Bitmaps and Sprite.

Hi I have a little problem and I wonder if there is a cheerful soul out there who could help me. I would like to load some movieClip's dynamically from the library when I scroll and use some sort of tween with greensock. Right now my code is for bitmap and use Sprite Class. Like to use MovieClip class with greensock instead and make a MovieClipscroller (containing text and images in each movieClip). Best Regards Mikael A Club greensock member This is the code right now: var sp:Sprite = new Sprite (); addChild(sp); for (var i:int=1; i<6; i++) { var ref:Class = getDefinitionByName("p"+i) as Class; var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(new ref()); sp.addChild(bm); bm.x = 768 * (i - 1); } var ind:int = 0; var currX:Number = 0; stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop); sp.addEventListener(TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, onSwipe); function onSwipe(e:TransformGestureEvent):void { if (e.offsetX == 1 && ind > 0) { ind--; } if (e.offsetX == -1 && ind < 4) { ind++; } } function loop(e:Event):void { currX += (ind*768 - currX) * 0.120; sp.scrollRect = new Rectangle(currX,0,768,1024); }

Thanks, I feel more "com" now. Love the pruduct I just bought, and I just LOOOOOOVE IT Makes my app fly!!!! Best Regards Mikael

Just one mor question Carl When I bought the Corporate Memberships I got this cryptic addition "You can access the SVN repository for the main tweening classes here", is it intended that I should download them and replace them over the existing files (com / greensock), the one I just downloaded? Regards Mikael

Thanks Carl for all your help and effords, I really appreciate it! This is my code, I have one long MovieClip in the library exported for ActionScript as MC but with one difference, instead of use the "flash.display.MovieClip" I extend it and use "flash.display.Sprite" class. My notes are both in Swedish and English, so I hope you don't get confused. Best Regards Mikael Sweden My Code: import com.greensock.*; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import com.greensock.plugins.*; import com.greensock.easing.*; import flash.geom.Rectangle; import flash.utils.getTimer; import flash.text.*; import flash.display.*; TweenPlugin.activate([ThrowPropsPlugin]); //*****************************( x y W H var bounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(30,30,400,700); //Kom ihåg att göra om MC i "Library" under "Export for ActionScript" till "flash.display.Sprite". var mc:MC = new MC(); //i stället för att köra på "default" "Export for ActionScript" till "flash.display.MovieClip". mc.x = 30; mc.y = 30; addChild(mc); //some variables for tracking the velocity of mc var t1:uint,t2:uint,y1:Number,y2:Number; mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler); function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { TweenLite.killTweensOf(mc); y1 = y2 = mc.y; t1 = t2 = getTimer(); //**************************( x y W H mc.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(bounds.x, -20000, 0, 30000)); mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler); mc.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler); } function enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void { //track velocity using the last 2 frames for more accuracy y2 = y1; t2 = t1; y1 = mc.y; t1 = getTimer(); } function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { mc.stopDrag(); mc.stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler); mc.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler); var time:Number = (getTimer() - t2) / 1000; var yVelocity:Number = (mc.y - y2) / time; var yOverlap:Number = Math.max(0,mc.height - bounds.height); ThrowPropsPlugin.to(mc, {ease:Strong.easeOut, throwProps:{y:{velocity:yVelocity, max:bounds.top, min:bounds.top - yOverlap, resistance:300}}}, 1, 0.25, 1); }

Hello Carl I have finally solved the problem, I'm probably the happiest man in the world's right now! Hepp!!! Best Regards Mikael

Thanks Carl for your quick answer. I did download the FLA project and I’ve been looking at the Video also but I still can’t understand how to implement this inside in my "existing code"? Tried to follow the code exemple but to sad I’m still lost (sad I know). My project is like this: The project is for Android 480x800. I have a long list, a text inside a MovieClip that is like 400 in “x” and 2000 in “y” called “drag” and a reference max and min scroll “bar”, I can scroll it as is now but I like to add the smooth scrolling as in the example project. The way it is now is that it stops abruptly as fast as I stop scrolling, like to have the feel as inside the ThrowProps project. Best regards Mikael

Hello This is my first post after I’ve just become a Corporate Member, so glad to be on board I’ve been looking through many tutorials and I have an account at Lynda.com, but still I consider myself as a rookie and lost thought! Now back to my problem, I like to make an iPhone & Android smooth scrolling and use some Greensock to manage it! The problem is I can’t figure out how to implement the tweening part and which one I should use, please help me with this! Like the “ThrowPropsPlugin” and the way it smooth things out and the bounce back at the end (Flick-scrolling example). Best Regards Mikael Sweden This is my code so far: import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.geom.Rectangle; var dragRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(drag.x,drag.y,0,bar.height - drag.height); drag.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragMouseDown); function dragMouseDown(evt:MouseEvent):void { drag.startDrag(false,dragRect); stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragMouseUp); } function dragMouseUp(evt:MouseEvent):void { drag.stopDrag(); stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragMouseUp); }
