[OnComplete gives me a value as it was before the tween]

Hi, I am using TweenLite with Away3D, and I am rescaling a Mesh with an Elastic tween: the code is as follows

 

TweenLite.to(this, magnifyTime, {x: this.x + deltaX, z: this.z + deltaZ, y: this.y * zoomScale, scaleX: diceScale * zoomScale, scaleY: diceScale * zoomScale, scaleZ: diceScale * zoomScale, onUpdate: updateShadow(), ease: Elastic.easeOut, onComplete: trace, onCompleteParams: ["this.scaleX = " + this.scaleX]} );

My problem is that the mesh (this) scales correctly, multiplying the initial scale 1 by 2.5, obtaining a 2.5 scale, but when the tween reaches the onComplete event it traces "1"!

 

WHY?! Am I missing a stupid detail I can't see?

I need to update the shadow in the onUpdate event, but if I can't get the correct mesh scale it remains unchanged! The onComplete event it just a test, I will delete it: I need the changing value of the scale, but the tween register the initial value, so... who can I constantly update the shadow with the correct scale?

[extracting bitmap from a swf class]

Fixed!

 

Idiot me: I have to remember that I instance a CLASS from the loader, and I have to instance it to obtain an object, it is not an object yet!

 

Then I can simply throw it on a normal Bitmap.

[extracting bitmap from a swf class]

Hi,

my question could sound noobish, but... I'am having a headache trying to do a very simple operation.

 

I have loaded a SWF with SWFLoader, and now I want to instance a Bitmap with linkage "DotMatrixPattern" and use its Bitmap content to create a pattern with beginBitmapFill: the problem is... how do I extract the Bitmap from DotMatrixPattern?

 

I am able to instance DotMatrixPattern, but then? DotMatrixPattern.rawContent? No! undefined!

 

What am I doing wrong?

[Getting classes list from a loaded SWF]

Anyone knows?

[Getting classes list from a loaded SWF]

Ok, for ByteArray I need DataLoader, I have found it by myself

 

Now I need to extract the list of classes...

 

If I know a className, can I instantiate it from a DataLoader?

I hope I can use the DataLoader without downloading the same SWF twice to have a DataLoader and a SWFLoader...

[Getting classes list from a loaded SWF]

Hi,

I'd like to know how I could get an Array of all the class definitions from a SWF loaded with SWFLoader.

 

Is it possible or I need to use some kind of workaround?

 

And... how can I get the content to cast to ByteArray like I can do with an URLLoader?

 

ByteArray(URLLoader(-url_loader-).data); 

 

Thanks

[New tween that does not delete the previous one]

Great! Months ago I read a few lines about OverwriteManager, but I forgot about this feature!

 

Thank you very much Carl!

[New tween that does not delete the previous one]

Hi,

I need to animate an object, setting just a few parameters everytime I create a new tween, keeping the previous parameters if they are not overwritten, like in the standard AS3 tween class.

 

As an example: I have a spinning ball, animated by

 

TweenLite.to (ball, 10, {rotation: 2000});

 

and after a few seconds from its creation I want the ball to start moving on x

 

TweenLite.to (ball, 5, {x: 300});

 

Normally the second tween kills the first one. How can I asynchronously "sum" the two tweens?

Thanks

[getClass returns null]

Fixed!

It was a stupid bug: I was loading the SWF in LoaderMax (the code you saw was simplified) with other SWFs, but the loader of the interested SWF had a wrong name.

Sorry for the useless discussion

[getClass returns null]

Ok, ok, I have read the documentation, but I can't get my program to extract a class from a loaded SWF.

 

The working version uses the Flash native loader

 

ldrContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
var request_graphic:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlG);
ldr_graphic.load(request_graphic, ldrContext);
...
var MC : Object = ldr_graphic.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(className);
return new MC;  

---> returns the correct instance of the class

 

 

while using SWFLoader

 

 

 

gr =  new SWFLoader(urlG, { name:"graphic", context:ldrContext, estimatedBytes: 200, container:this, autoPlay:false } );
gr.load();
var c:Class = gr.getClass(className); 

---> c is null

 

 

WHY?! I already have a "*" crossdomain

[Dynamic parameters and properties]

Great!

And if I wanted to add an onComplete event?

 

I will dig more inside Greensock...

[Dynamic parameters and properties]

Hi guys! My first topic here!

I have an array of pages, and I want to go to the previous/next one using tweens, with different types of transitions, horizontal sliding (x coordinate), vertical sliding (y coordinate), fading (alpha parameter) or rotation (rotationY parameter).

 

I want to convert classic tweens to tweenlite. The original code (for just one of the two pages moving) was

new Tween(pages[whatever], transitionType, Regular.easeOut, BStart, BEnd, transitionSpeed, true);

 

where transitionType can be "x", "y", "alpha" or "rotationY", corresponding to 4 MovieClip native properties.

 

The stupid way would be the following code:

switch (transitionType)
{

case "x" :
pages[whatever].x = BStart;
TweenLite.to(pages[whatever], transitionSpeed, {x : BEnd});
break;

case "y" :
pages[whatever].y = BStart;
TweenLite.to(pages[whatever], transitionSpeed, {y : BEnd});
break;

case "alpha" :
pages[whatever].alpha = BStart;
TweenLite.to(pages[whatever], transitionSpeed, {alpha : BEnd});
break;

case "rotationY" :
pages[whatever].rotationY = BStart;
TweenLite.to(pages[whatever], transitionSpeed, {rotationY : BEnd});
break;

}

 

I need a smarter coding like

 

pages[whatever].###transitionType### = BStart;
TweenLite.to(pages[whatever], transitionSpeed, {###transitionType### : BEnd});

 

in order to add n transitions corresponding to n MovieClip native properties without creating a giant switch, but just keeping 2 lines of code (classic tweens need just 1!).

 

The problem is that I don't know how to use a string as a tween parameter name or a Movieclip property name.

Can you help me, please?
