Use XML data node for Alpha Tween Value

[DeltaFrog]

Hi Jack and everyone!  I have some XML loading and I can pass a hex number to a colorTransform tween without a problem yay! ..but when I try it with a Alpha tween it doesn't not work. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

 

 

This works:

TweenMax.to(map_mc.CA, .2, {colorTransform:{tint:WindData.CA.hexColor.text()[0]}});

TweenMax.to(map_mc.NV, .2, {colorTransform:{tint:WindData.NV.hexColor.text()[0]}});

 

 

This works:

TweenMax.to(map_mc.NV, 6, {alpha:.5});

 

This does not work:

TweenMax.to(map_mc.NV, 6, {alpha:WindData.NV.opac.text()[0]}); 

This doesn't work even though WindData.NV.opac.text()[0] traces to the output window as .5

 

 

Here is my XML:

<WindData>

 

<CA>

<PTCNetImpact><![CDATA[$(195,849,979.44)]]></PTCNetImpact>

<peg><![CDATA[4.94%]]></peg>

<hexColor><![CDATA[0xF26B27]]></hexColor>

<opac><![CDATA[.5]]></opac>

</CA>

 

<NV>

<PTCNetImpact><![CDATA[$(195,849,979.44)]]></PTCNetImpact>

<peg><![CDATA[4.94%]]></peg>

<hexColor><![CDATA[0xF26B27]]></hexColor>

<opac><![CDATA[.5]]></opac>

</NV>

 

 

</WindData>

I just had to assign a data type to a var

 

var CAOpacity:Number = WindData.CA.opac.text()[0] 

 

TweenMax.to(map_mc.CA, .2, {colorTransform:{tint:WindData.CA.hexColor.text()[0]}, alpha:CAOpacity});
