Simple tweening question

I was hoping someone could help me out. This should be really simple and I cant figure it out.

So I have an ad that I am working on. Its 300x250 and it expands to lets say 560.

I have a mask thats 300x250 and I want to animate that open to the length of 560

and when the user clicks the close button it needs to go back to 300. Ive done it before

and today I cant get it to work.

 

What's happening in my code is the mask animates to the right and never stops. If I pull

the window open the mask opens infinately.

 

This is my code and I have attached a simple file with my code inside if thats easier

Thanks ahead of time for the help.

 


import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

Open.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OpenNow)
function OpenNow(e:MouseEvent):void{
TweenLite.to(Mask,2,{scaleX:560, ease:Expo.easeIn});
}

Close.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, CloseNow)
function CloseNow(e:MouseEvent):void{
TweenLite.to(Mask,2,{scaleX:0, ease:Expo.easeIn});
}

to answer your original question more clearly:

 

to change its size adjust the width via:

 

TweenLite.to(Mask,2,{width:560, ease:Expo.easeIn});

 

I want to go about 40 pixels out from my 300 pixel box and then back

 

I really don't know what you are asking. are you moving something? or making it stretch?

 

i have to assume you are moving something as the size issue has been addressed.

 

this will move the mask to an x value of 40

TweenLite.to(Mask,2,{x:40, ease:Expo.easeIn});

 

this will move the mask 40 pixels to the right of its original position

TweenLite.to(Mask,2,{x:"40", ease:Expo.easeIn});

 

note the use of quotes around "40". that means it is a relative value

 

if you want to repeat a tween use TweenMax

 

TweenMax.to(Mask,2,{x:40, ease:Expo.easeIn, repeat:1, yoyo:true});

 

Take a look at the TweenMax page http://www.greensock.com/tweenmax/ it gives examples and descriptions of all these concepts and features.
