VisiblePlugin should set visible to true at the beginning

[TyZ]

The VisiblePlugin set the visibility at the end of a tween. But shouldn't it make more sense if this would only occur if you want to set visible to false? If you set the visible to true it should be set at the beginning of the tween (but after the delay).

 

Example:

Note the following tween:

 

mc.visible = false;
mc.x = 0;
TweenMax.to(mc, 1, {delay: .5, x: 300, visible: true});

 

What I expect to happen:

- mc is not visible at the beginning

- after 0.5 seconds the mc appears and tweens from x 0 to x 300 in 1 second.

 

But what does happen:

- mc is not visible at the beginning

- after 1.5 seconds mc appears at x 0

 

 

I also already discovered a workaround for this:

 

mc.visible = false;
mc.x = 0;
TweenMax.to(mc, 1, {delay: .5, x: 300, autoAlpha:1});

 

This does exactly what I need. But I think this should also happen when you use the VisiblePlugin.

When using a TweenMax.to() the properties that you set are target / end / destination properties so setting a property there for the beginning of the tween would be counter-intuitive to the entire TweenMax/Lite model.

 

the following should suit your situation

 

box.visible = false;
TweenMax.fromTo(box, 1, {visible:true}, {x:300, delay:2});

 

the box will start invisible

after 2 seconds it will appear and tween its x.

 

thanks for bringing this up, I never used the visible plugin before and it I can see it can come in quite handy!

Just stumbled on this myself. I think the solution needs a slight tweak:

box.visible = false;
TweenMax.fromTo(box, 1, {visible:true, delay:2}, {x:300, delay:2});

This ensure the box doesn't become visible until the tween starts.
