Can I synchronize TimelineMax/TweenMax with MainTimeline time?

[biodapesada]

I load a swf file in my application, and the swf have some tweens (TweenMax). The problem happens when I play and stop the object, like this:

var swfloader:SWFLoader = SWFLoaderObject; //SWFLoaderObject is my swf loaded
var tweens:Array = tweenMaxClass.getAllTweens();

for each(var tween:* in tweens) {
    tween.seek(0); //0 is example
}

swfloader.rawContent.gotoAndPlay(0); //0 is example

The objects are out of sync, and can not correctly resume animations, either by stress processor or other problem.

I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Are you wanting things to be frame-by-frame synchronized with a particular MovieClip? If so, remember that Flash MovieClips are always frames-based whereas GSAP is time-based. So if the processor gets bogged down, Flash's MovieClips will actually play slower whereas GSAP will dynamically change values to reflect the appropriate time. You can, of course, set useFrames:true for your tweens/timelines but be sure to adjust the durations accordingly. If you're still having trouble, please post a very simple FLA that clearly demonstrates the problem with the least code possible. Thanks!

Thanks! The useFrames parameter helped me to synchronize the frames. The problem is exactly that you said. I converted the tweens of the object loaded to frames.

 

The code that I made:

var swfloaderObject:SWFLoader = SWFLoaderObject; //Loaded swf
convertTweensOf(swfloaderObject);

function convertTweensOf(swfLoader:SWFLoader):void {

    var tweenMaxClass:Class = swfLoader.getClass("com.greensock.TweenMax"); //get the TweenMax in the swfloader
    var _tweensConverted:Array = new Array();

    swfLoader.rawContent.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function enterFrameFunc(e:Event):void {
        
        if(swfLoader.rawContent.currentFrame == swfLoader.rawContent.totalFrames) {
            swfLoader.rawContent.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameFunc);
        }
        
        var tweens:Array = tweenMaxClass.getAllTweens(); //Get tweens of the object

        for each(var tween:* in tweens) {
            
            var verify:Boolean = false;
            for(var i:int = 0; i < _tweensConverted.length; i++) {
                if(tweens[i] == tween) {
                    verify = true;
                    break;
                }
            }            

            if(!verify) {
                
               var paramsInfo:Object = tween.vars;
               if(!paramsInfo["useFrames"]) {
                   paramsInfo["useFrames"] = true; //Set true
                   paramsInfo["delay"] = int(paramsInfo["delay"]*swfLoader.rawContent.loaderInfo.frameRate); //Convert seconds to frames
                   tween.pause(0); // pause to start
                   tween.kill(); //kill current tween
                   tween = new tweenMaxClass(tween.target, Math.round((tween.duration()*swfLoader.rawContent.loaderInfo.frameRate)), paramsInfo); //add new tween with frame cont
                   _tweensConverted.push(tween); //push new tween to control
                
               }
            }
         }
    
    });

}

 

May have some error written in the above code.

 

Now, the first code, when I play the object tweens and the tweenmax, they are synchronized.

 

Sorry for my English. I'll try to take more care next time.

 

Thanks again!
