getting delays in animation to work

[anarchy]

Hi Again

 

Trying to use the oncompletefunction but not sure if i'm actually doing it right

 

basically i am wanting the object to move then when its finished moving - alpha to 100%

TweenLite.to(_root.btn_work, 2, {_x:328, _y:328, paused:true, onComplete:myFunction, autoAlpha:100, ease:Expo.easeInOut});

 

would appreciate if you could help me cos really just finding my feet with AS2

 

Thanks

Hi .. and merry christmas

 

First of all - I've never used TweenLite with as2, so bear with me if I'm filling you with nonsense I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Second of all - update to as3, you won't regret it

I believe this will solve your problem:

TweenLite.to(_root.btn_work, 2, {_x:328, _y:328, ease:Expo.easeInOut});
TweenLite.to(_root.btn_work, 2, {delay:2, autoAlpha:100, ease:Quad.easeIn, onComplete:YourFunctionOne})

function YourFunctionOne() { ... }

//---------------

If your _root.btn_work._alpha is = 0 you could just do like this:
_root.btn_work._x = 328;   _root.btn_work._y = 328;
TweenLite.to(_root.btn_work, 2, {autoAlpha:100, ease:Quad.easeIn, onComplete:YourFunctionTwo, onCompleteParams:["hello"] })

function YourFunctionTwo(s:String) { trace(s); // hello }

 

I hope that made sense

In my opinion, the best way to sequence is to use TimelineLite or TimelineMax because they give you a lot more flexibility compared to just adding delays to your tweens:

 

var myTimeline:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite();
myTimeline.append( TweenLite.to(_root.btn_work, 2, {_x:328, _y:328, ease:Expo.easeInOut}) );
myTimeline.append( TweenLite.to(_root.btn_work, 2, {autoAlpha:100, ease:Expo.easeInOut}) );

 

That way, you can pause(), resume(), reverse(), play() or restart() the whole sequence anytime. Read about TimelineLite at http://blog.greensock.com/timeline-basics/

 

Oh, and if you're using TweenLite, don't forget to activate the AutoAlphaPlugin first:

 

import com.greensock.plugins.*;
TweenPlugin.activate([AutoAlphaPlugin]);
