Overwrite not working in AS2

[92Dream 0 Likes (Newbie)]

I'm having problems with the code below. For some reason when I export I only see the last tween appear and thats it. I'm using the overwrite manager but I'm not sure if it's working correctly or not. I'm not a advanced Flash user so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have the file attached as well.

 

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
OverwriteManager.init(OverwriteManager.AUTO);

// Intro Animations
TweenLite.from (gfx7, 1,   { _alpha:0 });
TweenLite.from (statement, .7, { _x:7, _y:175, _alpha:0, _delay:0.5 });
TweenLite.to (statement, .7, { _x:7, _y:175, _alpha:0, _delay:3.5 });

I'm pretty sure the problem is that you are using the wrong syntax for delay. There isn't an underscore:

 

_delay should be delay

 

so the 2nd and third tween were running at the same time (no delay) and since the from tween got overwritten, statement was being tweened TO where it was so there was no animation.

 

your first tween on gfx7 should have worked fine though.

 

try using delay with out the underscore and let us know how it goes.

Wow...I'm an idiot. Thanks for your help.

 

I do have another question, as I'm converting a Flash ad to AS2, I had some onComplete functions on 2 of my tweens that worked fine in AS3, but not so much in AS2. I have a example of it below. Any ideas?

TweenLite.to(drawnBldg, 0,  { delay:18.2, _alpha:1, onComplete:bldgFunction });

////

function bldgFunction()
{
   drawnBldg.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

hmmm. I think because it has a duration of 0 seconds. try making the duration .001

 

tweens with no durations are kind of tricky. when do they begin? when do they end? kind of a brain twister. stick with a really short duration and you should be fine.

Thanks for your help Carl. I figured out the problem. I forgot that in AS2 the "alpha" ranges from 0-100 and in AS3 it goes from 0-1. I still had it set to 1 which is why I couldn't see the onComplete working. Thanks for your help though....definitely saved me some frustration

Oh snap. Good catch. Totally didn't think of that.

Glad you got it working.
