allTo - Getting attributes from the currently Tweened Obj

[neuralism]

Hi Folks,

 

is there a way to access attributes on the object that is currently being (or about to be?) Tweened using Tweenmax.allTo?

 

import com.greensock.*;

var instanceList:Array = new Array(instance0, instance1, instance2);

TweenMax.allTo(instanceList, 0.5, { x: -(instanceList[n].width), y: -(instanceList[n].height) }, 0.1);

 

hoping to find out if there is anything like evt.currentTarget from those addEventListener methods?

 

alternatively I would do

import com.greensock.*;

var instanceList:Array = new Array(instance0, instance1, instance2);

for (var i:* in intanceList)
{
TweenLite.to(instanceList[i], 0.5, { x: -(instanceList[i].width), y: -(instanceList[i].height), delay: 0.05 });
}

 

But I'm just looking for possibilities on the former.

 

Thanks!

Hello Neuralism,

 

Take a look at this:

 

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.events.TweenEvent;


var flashLetters:Array = new Array(
						  f_mc,
						  l_mc,
						  a_mc,
						  s_mc,
						  h_mc
						 );

TweenMax.allTo(flashLetters, 1, {rotationX:90,  onCompleteListener:myListener}, .05);

function myListener(event:TweenEvent):void {
   trace("completed tween of " + event.target.target.name);
TweenMax.to(event.target.target, 0, {alpha:0});


}

 

So the allTo starts the staggered rotation of each mc.

When each one completes, myListener knows exactly who each clip is via event.target.target.

Right now each mc is getting its alpha set to 0 when its tween is done.

You can grab any property of the currently tweened clip you want when that event fires.

 

You can also use onStartListener, and onUpdateListener and others http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/tween/ ... enMax.html

 

also, be sure to import com.greensock.events.TweenEvent as shown above.

Brilliant! Will try it out!

 

Thanks a million mate!
