Tweenlite.from with Tint

[Rabies]

I've used the following line and it works, it makes the clip go from black to normal.

 

TweenLite.from(mc,1,{tint:0x000000, ease:Linear.easeNone});

 

However, if I first made the clip fade to black, using this:

 

TweenLite.to(mc,1,{tint:0x000000, ease:Linear.easeNone});

 

Later, when I try to use the "from" version, like above, nothing happens.

 

Now, I know "removeTint" would then work, but it makes for some complications, whereas otherwise I could just use "from" to fade from black, and "to" to fade to black.

 

Do you have any further insight ? Maybe I'm overlooking a technique that would make it that easy.

When you do a from() tween, it takes the CURRENT values and uses them as the end/destination. For example, if mc is at x:100 and you TweenLite.from(mc, 1, {x:0}) then mc.x will go from 0 to 100 (ending at the current x value). So if you tween your object to black and then TweenLite.from(mc, 1, {tint:0x000000}) it will tween from black to the current value which is also black, so it won't look like anything happens. See what I mean? It's not a bug or problem with the tweening engine - it's just a logic issue.

 

You can TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {tint:null}) if you want. It's just like doing a removeTint:true.
