TweenMax.allTo dynamic values

[friendlygiraffe]

Hi I want to tween a group but with separate destinations. Is this possible or do they all have to have the same target?

var Letters:Array = [let1, let2, let3, let4];

var Dest:Array = [123, 5, 67, 345];

TweenMax.allTo(Letters,3,{_y:Dest[?]});

TweenMax.allTo() is for taking all the objects in an array and making them all go to common destination values. So no, you cannot use allTo() to define different destination values. Just do something like this instead:

 

var Letters:Array = [let1, let2, let3, let4];
var Dest:Array = [123, 5, 67, 345];
var i:Number= Letters.length;
while (i--) {
   TweenMax.to(Letters[i], 3, {_y:Dest[i]});
}

Hey there- Here's an add-on question for this post. What if I want to sequence the Array objects (to the same location)? For instance:

 

var timeline:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite();
var Letters:Array = [let1, let2, let3, let4];
var i:Number= Letters.length;
while (i--) {
   timeline.insertMulitple(TweenLite.allFrom(Letters[i], 3, {y:0}, 1, TweenAlign:SEQUENCE, 1);
}

 

This throws me a Type Coercion error. Can you tell me why? Thanks!

Why are you doing an allFrom() with only one object? Remember, allFrom() is for taking an ARRAY of objects and making them all go to a common set of tween values. So your code had several problems:

 

1) You weren't passing an array to allFrom()

 

2) You were missing an ")" after the first "1".

 

3) TweenLite doesn't have allFrom() - only TweenMax does.

 

I think you meant to do either something like this:

var timeline:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite();
var Letters:Array = [let1, let2, let3, let4];
timeline.insertMulitple( TweenMax.allFrom(Letters, 3, {y:0}, 1) );

 

-OR-

 

var timeline:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite();
var Letters:Array = [let1, let2, let3, let4];
var i:Number= Letters.length;
while (i--) {
   timeline.insert( TweenLite.from(Letters[i], 3, {y:0}), i * 1);
}

 

(I'm not sure which one you wanted but hopefully this gives you a nudge in the right direction).

Excellent! Sorry for the sloppy code, i should have looked at it more closely before posting that. Appreciate your help though! Thanks!
