Tween Object

[monty]

Hi is there anyway to tween a non native flash property with tweenLite.

I want to use an object to hold a property called specialRotation for example and I want to update that property using tweenlite.to, how can I achieve.

 

I tried using a getter and setter but that didn't work.

 

var obj:Object = new Object();
private function get specialRotation():Number
{
return obj.specialRotation;
}

private function set specialRotation(value:Number):void
{
obj.specialRotation = value;
}

TweenLite.to(obj, 1, {specialRotation:90, onUpdate:onUpdateTest } );

private function onUpdateTest():void
{
trace("working = "+specialRotation);
}

Absolutely - I do it all the time. TweenLite/Max will tween ANY numeric property of ANY object.

 

var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.specialRotation = 0;

TweenLite.to(obj, 2, {specialRotation:100, onUpdate:onUpdateTest});

function onUpdateTest():void {
   trace("specialRotation: " + obj.specialRotation);
}

 

If your object is an instance of a custom class, you could use a getter/setter to do special stuff whenever the tweening value gets updated. Or just use an onUpdate like above.

 

Enjoy.
