Set a vars value with a constraint?

[Visual-Q]

Hey Guys,

 

I was wondering if it is possible without writing an external function to pass a vars value to a tween with a contstraint.

 

In my case I am adding a relative scale value {scaleX:"-=0.3"} to a group of objects.

 

Some of these objects begin with a scale of 0 as they start in a collapsed state and later expand. As such adding the value above would give these objects a value of -0.3 flipping the X axis and making them visible.

 

Is there any way to attach a constraint to the tweens value i.e. {scaleX:"-=0.3",constrain to minimum value of 0}.

 

I can target the objects separately if need be easily enough, but I wanted to check if setting a constraint is possible in this way.

You can do them separately for now, but check out this proposal.

Constraining a value is really easy to do with that plugin.

Wow. As you noted that proposal opens up a lot of possibilities,. It think it should definitely become part of the core.

 

Thanks for the help!
