Removing Tween and re-adding Tween.

[Fitchett Developments 3 Likes (Newbie)]

Hey guys so im having a little trouble here.

 

So i have a textField that updates after each hitTest which is called levelText. So what im trying to accomplish is the levelText field to fade out after 1 second at the start of each new level. It works fine for the first level but when i go to level 2 or 3 the text field doesnt appear at all. I believe i have to destroy it and re add somehow? Here is the code im using.

 

private function startNextLevel():void
{

 

     TweenLite.to(levelText, 1, {autoAlpha:0});

 

}

 

 

Please any information would help. Thank you.

Hi

 

If you are using the same text field for each level it sounds like you just need to set its autoAlpha back to 1 before you tween to 0.

 

levelText.visible=true;

levelText.alpha=1;

 

Or use set()

 

TweenLite.set(levelText, {autoAlpha:1});

 

Or use a tween

TweenLite.to(levelText, 1, {autoAlpha:1});

 

Or use a fromTo() tween.

 

TweenLite.fromTo(levelText, 1, {autoAlpha:1},{autoAlpha:0});

Interesting. Yeah i figured it out last night by setting it to 0 then 1 in the next function. But im confused what does set(); or fromto(); do?

set() is just a shortcut for a tween with a 0-second duration. It happens instantly.

 

A fromTo() tween allows you to specify the starting (from) and end (to) values of the tween.

 

For instance you could have an mc at x:0. Perhaps when someone clicks a button that mc should jump and tween from x:100 to x:200

TweenLite.fromTo(mc, 1, {x:100}, {x:200});
