How to save a bezierThrough tween in a var?

[CarinC]

Hi,

 

I'm using the latest version for AS3 (greensock-v12-as3) in Flash Pro CS6 with a Shockingly Green membership.

 

I'd like to save a bezierThrough tween in a var, so that I can reverse it later on, but I only know how to use bezierThrough by calling the TweenMax.to or TweenMax.from methods, so don't know how to instantiate a bezierThrough.

 

I'd like to use this syntax:

"var myTween:TweenMax = new TweenMax(-mybezierThrough tween-);"

 

but how to do it when bezierThrough syntax is:

TweenMax.to(mc, 3, {bezierThrough:[{x:300, y:345}], orientToBezier:true, ease:Bounce.easeOut});

 

Thanks,

 

Carin

Hi and Welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

I'm a little confused by the code you posted:

 

"var myTween:TweenMax = new TweenMax(-mybezierThrough tween-);"

 

There isn't a way to pass a single variable into new TweenMax().

 

To answer the following request:

 

I'd like to save a bezierThrough tween in a var, so that I can reverse it later on

 

You can just do this:

 

 

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

TweenPlugin.activate([bezierThroughPlugin, BezierPlugin]);

var myBezier:TweenMax = new TweenMax(mc, 3, {bezierThrough:[{x:300, y:345}, {x:400, y:200}], orientToBezier:true, ease:Bounce.easeOut});

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stageClick);

function stageClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
myBezier.reverse();
}

//when the stage is clicked, the tween will reverse

 

does this help?

Yes, thanks.

 

I used "-mybezierThrough tween-" in this forum just as a placeholder for the whole code for my bezierThrough tween. Sorry for the confusion.

 

Thanks again,
