Physics2D and how to remove it

[LynnB]

I've been trying like heck to remove a physics2D tween without success. I know you can stop, pause, reverse, restart but I haven't figured out how to remove it. I have a button on rollover that starts it (setting that up is easy) on rollout I want the tween to be removed, to disappear. Is this possible?

 

Thanks!

Did you kill() it? Feel free to either call kill() on the instance or use TweenLite.killTweensOf(yourObject).

I did try killing it and it's the same effect as pausing it (the tween is still there but suspended in motion). I'm using a timeline and I tried: timeline.kill();

I will try killTweensOf. Thank you!

What do you mean by "the tween is still there"? Where are you expecting it to go?

[LynnB]

I would like it to disappear, go to autoAlpha:0, removed completely, die, kill, begone totally anything to remove it completely from the stage on rollout.

By tween I mean the 'dot' shape tween.

Oh, you mean you want to remove the object that the tween is tweening (target)? If so, you could use an onComplete to removeChild() in AS3 or removeMovieClip() in AS2. Feel free to autoAlpha to 0 but that won't remove the object from the stage. It'll just set the visible property to false when alpha hits 0.

 

Does that answer your question?

Yes, that's it! Thank you, I kinda knew it had something to do with removeChild! I'm still learning!
