How to do some animation with external .SWF files?

[learner_7n]

Hi,

 

The following code is nice but with only movie clips. How can I do the same trick with external .SWF files?

 

http://var MyLogoTween:Tween=new Tween(MyLogo_mc, "y", Strong.easeOut, -200 , 260, 3, true);

 

 

Thanks.

Are you kidding?

 

I couldn't quite tell if this was a joke. Are you really using Adobe's Tween class and posting questions about how to use it in the GreenSock forums?

 

For the record, you'd need to load your external swf first using something like LoaderMax's SWFLoader or Adobe's Loader class, wait for it to load (listen for its COMPLETE event), add it to the stage with addChild() and then tween it.

learner_7n, for very general questions like that, I'd recommend a different forum, like the ones at kirupa.com or actionscript.org. This forum is specifically for questions related to GreenSock tools.

Hi,

 

I am looking for the alternate code to the following one:

 

var K:Loader=new Loader();

 

addChild(K);

 

K.load(new URLRequest("clock.swf"));

K.x = 160;

K.y = 200;

 

K.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, growLoader);

 

function growLoader(evt:Event):void {

 

K.width = 130;

 

K.height = 130;

}

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Regards.learner_7n

"alternate code"? Why? What problem are you running into? (and incidentally, why are you posting questions about Adobe's Loader in the GreenSock forums, especially in the tweening category?)

 

I've given you a few polite warnings already, but if you continue to post vague, generic things like this in the GreenSock forums (especially things that aren't related to any GreenSock tools) I'll have to suspend your account. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we're happy to answer questions and help fellow GreenSock users out, but most of your 58 posts have either been incredibly generic or unrelated to GreenSock tools or it seemed like you were just wanting us to write your code for you without you putting any effort into attempting solutions yourself. We take every post seriously here and it takes time to read through them and put together a relevant, succinct response to each one. Please have the courtesy to make your posts clear, detailed, and relevant to this particular forum. Show us what you've tried and explain exactly what problem you're running into so that we can give you pertinent answers.

I am extremely sorry for sending the questions not related to tweening. I have replied in my post at 8:10am that I will not post the un-related questions. But I have been warned for earlier questions ...post at 7:00am & 8:07 am. I have not repeated any mistake after my promise. Anyway, thanks for all the answers which made my work moving. Being a learner I was asking for some instant help with code to use in other example projects changing/modifying some effects. Anyway you are great, you are my teacher.

 

Once again, I am very sorry as I hurt your feelings.

 

Thanks and best regards.

No no, not at all. I didn't intend to come across that way. My feelings aren't hurt I was just trying to explain the ground rules and make sure you understood what's expected in these forums. My apologies if that came across as overly harsh.

 

Anyway, I see the time stamps you highlighted and it sounds like everything is settled now. No worries. Enjoy the tools, and please feel free to come back and ask specific questions anytime. We are here to help.

Thanks a lot for your kind reply. You are great.
