Simple remove child after tween

I've been wondering this for a little bit, and it might not even fall into the scope of tweenlite, but I know there is a better way to achieve it, that I don't know.

 

All I want to do is remove a display object after a tween, without having to have multiple functions.

private function removeBG():void{

		TweenLite.to(_bg, 1, {alpha:0, ease:Quad.easeInOut, onComplete:remove});


	}

	private function remove():void {

		removeChild(_bg);
		_bg = null;

	}

 

It would be kind of nice to do something like {alpha:1, endKill:true} or anything just to keep it on one line.. thanks for any tips.

You could do something like this:

 

TweenLite.to(_bg, 1, {alpha:0, ease:Quad.easeInOut, onComplete:this.removeChild, onCompleteParams:[_bg]});

 

Keep in mind that autoAlpha could be used in place of alpha and then it'd automatically set the "visible" property to false when alpha is 0, thus improving performance in virtually the same way as removing the child altogether (at least in terms of rendering performance).

Apologies if this is seen to be jumping on the end of someone else's post but my question is very similar to the original poster so though it'd be OK to do so, all I 'm trying to work out is how do I now fire a second function? What I'm trying to do is tween a MovieClip back to zero, then remove the Clip (exactly what has been done in the original post...

 

but now I want to fire another function that does something else.)

 

I'm a little stumped :?

If you want to trigger multiple functions at the end of your tween, you have two options:

 

1) Write a separate function that calls your two functions like:

 

TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {x:100, onComplete:doStuff});
function doStuff():void {
   myFunction1();
   myFunction2();
}

 

-OR-

 

2) If you're using TweenMax, you can add multiple event listeners for the COMPLETE event.
