Still trying to get this clock to work

[darngooddesign]

I'm trying it with TimelineMax. First tween hides all the digits and the rest should toggle them for .1 and leaves them visible for .5 before toggle them off again (.1 sec)..

 

var myTimeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax();
myTimeline.insertMultiple([
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock1A, clock2A, clock3A, clock4A, clock5A, clock6A, clock7A, clock8A, clock9A, clock0B, clock1B, clock2B, clock3B, clock4B, clock5B, clock6B, clock7B, clock8B, clock9B, clock0C, clock1C, clock2C, clock3C, clock4C, clock5C, clock6C, clock7C, clock8C, clock9C, clock0D, clock1D, clock2D, clock3D, clock4D, clock5D, clock6D, clock7D, clock8D, clock9D], 0, {alpha:0, visible:false}),
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock9B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock1A, clock0B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock1A, clock1B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock1A, clock2B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock1B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock2B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock3B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock4B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock5B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock6B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock7B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock8B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock0A, clock9B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true}),
		new TweenMax([clock1A, clock0B], .1, {alpha:1, visible:true})],
		.1,
		TweenAlign.SEQUENCE,
		.5);

You're passing arrays as the target. Don't do that If you want to tween multiple items, use the TweenMax.allTo() or TweenMax.allFrom() methods. Those accept arrays as the target.

I tried that already and kept getting 1048:Method can't be used as a constructor errors.

 

new TweenMax.allTo([clock0A, clock4B], .25, {alpha:1, visible:true}),

Thats because it is not a constructor, it is a static method. It returns the TweenMax objects however so just do:

var myTween:TweenMax = TweenMax.allTo(...);

No, TweenMax.allTo() does not return a TweenMax, it returns an Array containing TweenMax instances. So you cannot set the type of your variable to TweenMax. You'd need to do this:

 

var myTweens:Array = TweenMax.allTo(...);
//or if you don't need to keep track of the array, just do:
TweenMax.allTo(...);

Thanks, what's the syntax for align Sequence? I'm having a hell of a time locating usage examples of setting the different align methods. The documentation has nothing for it that I could find.

[GreenSock]

There aren't alignment options in TweenMax.allTo() - only stagger. The timeline classes (TimelineLite and TimelineMax) have insertMultiple() and appendMultiple() with aligment parameters. You can use the stagger property of TweenMax.allTo() like this:

 

TweenMax.allTo([mc1, mc2, mc3], 1, {y:"100"}, 0.2); //offsets each start time by 0.2 seconds
