Tweening and callback order [SOLVED]

[partap]

I'm trying to set up a timeline that displays a countdown: "READY", "SET", "GO", where each word shrinks and fades in. I think I've got the code right, but it only seems to work some of the time, other times the label text will update, but it doesn't shrink or fade...I think it might have to do with the tweens or callbacks interfering with each other if the machine is too slow but I'm not sure...

 

Can you tell me if this code looks right? If so, what can I do to fix it?

		var tl:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite();
		tl.append(new TweenLite(m_notice, 0, {alpha:0, scaleX:2,scaleY:2,
			onComplete:setNotice, onCompleteParams:['READY'],
			immediateRender:true, overwrite:0}));
		tl.append(new TweenLite(m_notice, 1, {alpha:1, scaleX:1, scaleY:1,overwrite:0}));
		tl.append(new TweenLite(m_notice, 0, {alpha:0, scaleX:2, scaleY:2,
			onComplete:setNotice, onCompleteParams:['SET'],
			immediateRender:false,overwrite:0}));
		tl.append(new TweenLite(m_notice, 1, {alpha:1, scaleX:1, scaleY:1,overwrite:0}));
		tl.append(new TweenLite(m_notice, 0, {alpha:0, scaleX:2, scaleY:2,
			onComplete:setNotice, onCompleteParams:['GO'],
			immediateRender:false,overwrite:0}));
		tl.append(new TweenLite(m_notice, 1, {alpha:1, scaleX:1, scaleY:1,overwrite:0}));
		tl.append(new TweenLite(m_notice, 0.5, {autoAlpha: 0,
			immediateRender:false,overwrite:0}));
		m_timeline.insert(tl, 1);

Why are you setting immediateRender:true on any of the tweens (or false for that matter)? And why are you setting overwrite:0? You shouldn't need to do either of those.

I added those params after it didn't work initially (saw it in the code for addCallback())

Hmm. If I remove all of the immediateRender and overwrite params, the only label I see is "GO".

With the immediateRender params reapplied to the zero-duration tweens, all I get is "READY"

With the overwrite params reapplied, I'm back to where I was at the start: "READY" fades and scales properly, and it always properly updates the text to "SET" and "GO", but the fade and scale tweens for those labels only work sporadically...

Never mind, I got it working.

I replaced the zero-length tweens with onStart and startAt parms. Also, it only seems to work with TweenMax, rather than TweenLite, which is fine for me.

 

Great library, btw!
