Color transformation with ColorShortcuts throws an error:

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property ra not found on flash.geom.ColorTransform 
and there is no 
default value.
    at caurina.transitions.properties::ColorShortcuts$/_colorTransform_splitter()
    at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/addTween()

After commenting out legacy color support in this splitter error does not 
occur. I think it's time to 
get rid of this legacy support anyway. Cheers!

Q. What is the expected outcome? What happens instead?
A. movie should be exported without error, but an error message
"Tweener.as, Line 35  The class or interface
'caurina.transitions.Equations' could not be loaded." appeared instead. 

Q. What code will reproduce the problem?

Q. What version of the class are you using, and under which development
environment (IDE version, compiler, etc)?
I'm using the flash CS3 Flash 8 version. I've downloaded the sample files
here and try to export the movie without changing anything, but the same
error happened too.

Please provide any additional information below. Also, please attach
*small*, sample files with minimum functionality to reproduce the problem
if possible.

This is an enhancement request. In many cases I have seen the need 
to "finsihAllTweens()" so all objects are set to the end state of each 
animation. This is usually needed based on user activity. The user may 
click an action while something is animating and in many use cases I can 
see a need to have all or select tweens to "jump" to their end state 
before starting the next set of tweens. Otherwise some tweens may conflict 
with the new tweens and cause undesireable results.

The "removeAllTweens" is one workaround but this method leaves partially 
completed tweens which require considerable effort to manually reset.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. set the compilter option "strict" to true on the ide or at the command
line compiler
2. include any Tweener usage, such as Tweener.addTween


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The compiler throws quite a lot of warnings. Most have to do with type
declaration (missing returns... implicit coercions). 
A few have to do with using "delete" to free memory (better set the value
to "null" on as3).
 I am attaching the compiler warnings.

Tweening any special property seems to throw the following error:
## [Tweener] Error: The property 'XXXX' doesn't seem to be a normal object
property of [object Object] or a registered special property.
I've tried with a few (_scale, _color, etc...)... I checked the SVN log,
and it seems to be since version 1.31.66 when SpecialPropertiesDefault.as
was deleted.

Cheers and thanks

To use color tranform in AS3 you must pass a colorTransform Object in the
tweener object

It seems, that the "_frame" property doesnt work for the 1.31.70 as2
Version (currently SVN Version). "_frame" works in the 1.26.62 as2 version.

example code
_x is executed, while _frame doesnt start.

Tweener.addTween(_mc_jar, {_frame:10, _x:100, time:2,
transition:"easeinoutquad"});

Hi guys,
I use your Tweener script with much pleasure. The simplicity is key. 
But the design could be just a little better. 

By making a Transitions class that holds all the type of transitions in
constants, you prevent typo's. 

I would really like it if it would use the normal event system of as3.0. So
that I can add event listeners, like I always do. 

Maybe it is an option to make a TweenerData class. Instead of giving the
addTween method just an object you pass it an TweenerData instance. 
This instance you build earlier, and you just change the properties. This
also prevents typo's. 

I am curious what you guys opinion is about this. 

Greetings, Peter

key online documentation pages are missing:
http://hosted.zeh.com.br/tweener/docs/en-us/methods/specialproperties

There's a misspelling in Elastic equations methods inside the Equations.as
class

the p_params.p_period should be p_params.period on lines 510 and 562.

I got this from revision 362 files.

The current architecture uses references to functions to handle "events" (
i.e. onComplete/onUpdate/etc.), however this should probably be changed to
emit true events.  I have a working example if anybody would like to see
it, but this really should become the standard in the main library given
the current state of technology.

Basically, so that it will not get lost in the ML.

There are a number of easy to fix syntax issue in trunk/as3 (which have existed 
for many 
commits now). Most are simple fixes - nothing huge but definitely worth fixing 
since they 
produce warnings depending on your editor/parser of choice (FB/FDT/etc) which 
make it more 
difficult for those uber-anal to detect early warnings in true project code:

AuxFunctions.as [r5] lines:
  67. for (var pName:String in p_object) totalProperties ++; // Local var never used (no likely fix?)
  85. finalObject[prop] = currentObject[prop] // missing semicolon.

Equations.as [r5] lines:
  37. trace ("Equations is a static class and should not be instantiated.") // missing semicolon
  113,126,139,152,180,193,206,234,247,260,288,301,314,342...etc. (all easing functions): p_params:Object = null // local var never used.

Tweener.as [r5] lines:
  92.  public static function addTween (p_scopes:Object = null, p_parameters:Object = 
null):Boolean { // local var never used.
  729,759,821,834. } catch(e:Error) { // e is defined more than once.
   850. public static function init(p_object:* = null):void { // p_object local var never used.
  1058. var eventScope:Object = Boolean(pTweening.onErrorScope) ? pTweening.onErrorScope : 
pTweening.scope; // local var eventScope never used.

Hopefully this is helpful and quick to get the errors out - or at least not too 
annoying; just 
wanted to do my part to make it strict editor friendly.

theres a public function to remove a teen by index and this is like the
most needed feature! how can u add several tweens on one object and remove
just one of them... currently you cant, you can only remove all!? When
addTween is called, why isnt the tweenIndex being returned instead of a
boolean?

When you scale a clip on RollOver, and bring it back to it's original size
on RollOut,  as soon as you get close to an edge of the clip, it start to
"jump" like crazy... I wonder if there is a way to avoid that...? I saw in
forums that other people are having the same problem...

Thanks for your help.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a class that uses tweener in flash 9 alpha from labs and publish
a flash 9 swf

2. Create an apollo app that uses a SWFLoader to load in said swf.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Swf makes animation calls but animation doesn't happen

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WinXP - Tweener 1.24.47

Please provide any additional information below.
Any ideas how to get this work?

simple get accessor for Tweener._engineExists, it's very usefull, add it in
there

Please report everything we need to know.
Can you tell me how to assign URL to a link?

Eae zeh blz, a algum tempo venho usado a tweener e percebi que se durante a
execucao de uma animacao, ao mesmo tempo alguma outra linha de as alterar
alguma propriedade do movieclip que esta sendo animado a tweener
simplesmente para de ser executada. 

The filters bevel, dropShadow, glow, gradientGlow and gradientBevel use 
the attribute knockout. For all of them - except gradientBevel - this 
attribute is supported by Tweener, too. 
For gradientBevel it's not documented and also doesn't work.
I really know it's not a big issue, but I populate Tweener via a "for (... 
in ...)" and always have to explicitly exclude it.
Kind regards,
Uli
By the way: Tweener simply the best

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Tween an MC a large distance... couple thousand pixels maybe.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of smoothly tweening to the final destination, the clip slows
almost to a stop before reaching its target and then snaps into place.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AS2 version on Windows

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a tween
2. delete the target object (i.e. removeMovieClip or object =null)
3. start the tween

What is the expected output?
I expected the null target not to have it's tween applied.

What do you see instead?
The tween for the deleted object still runs.

more background on this issue:

This fix is a one-liner.
needed changes in lines 555 (as2 version) and 562 (as3).

Hi,

First I wanted to say that you guys did a great job !!! Thanks !

Until now I was using mc_tween.as, today I found this class and tried to
use it.

For now my problem was to tween the _alpha property of a movieclip with
inside a background and a textfield containing html.

I tried this :

Tweener.addTween(this.text_mc, {_alpha:0, time:5, transition:"linear"});

The background of the movieclip is tweening well but the text is not
tweening at all (the same way as standard flash scripting without using the
class).

Then I tried :

Tweener.addTween(this.text_mc, {_alpha:0,_blur_blurX:0, time:5,
transition:"linear"});

Now both the background and the textfield are tweening perfectly.

Could you please add somewhere in the class a parametre that would allow to
force the class to use a blur filter or another one (I didn't test with
other filter) to allow html textfields to be tweened on their _alpha property.

Thanks.

Alex

This is probably more a suggestion than anything. Shouldn't addTween return
a index? That way it's easier to call method for specific tween. Like for
instance remove a specific tween with removeTweenByIndex.

Thanks!

Hi,
I was wondering how come the tweenings are not working properly when you try to 
use it inside an 
"IF" condition...? (sorry for my bad english) Here is an extract of my code :

Thanks for your great help.
Stef

// ------------------------------------------
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

setBackground = function () {
    centre_y = Math.round(Stage.height/2);
    if (_root.flag_panel == "true") {
        Tweener.addTween(menuCentre, {_y:centre_y-200, time:0.4, transition:"easeInOutQuart"});
    } else {
        Tweener.addTween(menuCentre, {_y:centre_y-100, time:0.4, transition:"easeInOutQuart"});
    }
};

Could you post some info on when the AS2 Stable (download) version of Tweener 
will support 
Filters and special properties (glow, brightness, etc)? 

svn/trunk has clear bugs (last checkout _color was broken for example) so Im 
hesitant to use this 
on one of the large scale  projects Ive got in progress but really wish you 
could wiki some kind of 
timeline for these core features for both AS2/AS3 builds - thanks so much and 
keep up the good 
work!

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TweenListObj.

Hi folks.

I've hack an implementation for the "inheritance" mechanism of tween
objects properties.
This thread started at
http://lists.caurinauebi.com/pipermail/tweener-caurinauebi.com/2007-May/000074.h
tml

The idea is that a new property will be check when adding a tween, the
"base" property.
The "base" property can be an object or an array with object to extend.
Properties will be copied to the tween from left to right, meaning that
objects with higher indexes will overwrite previous objects.

For example if we have:
var obj1 : Object = { time:3, delay = 2, transition: "linear"};
var obj2 : Object = { time:null, delay = 4, _x: 20};
var final : Object = {_y= 30, base: [obj1, obj2]};
Tweener.addTween(someObj, final);
In this case, the final object will look like this:
final = {
    _y: 30,
    _x: 20,
    delay: 4, 
    transition: "linear"
}

The base property can also be a single object, in which case:
var obj1 : Object = { time:3, delay = 2, transition: "linear"};
var final : Object = {_y= 30, base: obj1};
Tweener.addTween(someObj, final);
In this case, the final object will look like this:
final = {
    _y: 30,
    delay: 2, 
    time:3,
    transition: "linear"
}

If an object with higher precedence has a property set to null, that
property will be removed from the composite object.
No objects are modified, but only a shallow copy is made.

Zeh: I've decided not to mangle with Tweener's code. Instead I moved the
inheritance to a function:
public static function makePropChain(p_obj : Object) : Object

This way this can be used in addCaller and addTween alike.

For me, it would make sense if it lived on the TweenListObj.

I've done some initial testings for as2 and as3, and it looks okay.
If you find this any issues, please let me know,

cheers

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. onComplete:functionname(someparameter)
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expect functionname to be called after tween 
instead function is called with correct parameter but
well before the tween completes possible at start of tween.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
actionscript3 version , windows vista pro

Q. What is the expected outcome? What happens instead?
expected: alpha tween for appropriate number of time. When i say 2000 it
should tween for 2 seconds. or when i say 2 it shoud tween for two seconds,
however this only works when tweening from 0 to 100, but when tweening
back, from 100 to 0 it breaks.

Q. What code will reproduce the problem?
Tweener.addTween(theClipToTween_mc, {alpha:0, time:2});

Q. What version of the class are you using, and under which development
environment (IDE version, compiler, etc)?

Flash IDE, CS3 Prof.

Please provide any additional information below. Also, please attach
*small*, sample files with minimum functionality to reproduce the problem
if possible.

When tweening from 0 to 100, 2000 is equal to two seconds
but when tweening back from 100 to 0, 2000 does not equal two seconds, and
2 does not equal 2 seconds, so there must be wrong with the multiplication
factor in the time

see attached file for example

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. web_blue_mc.onEnterFrame= function () { 
Tweener.addTween(web_blue_mc, { _alpha:100, delay:1,  time:2, 
transition:"linear"});
Tweener.addTween(web_blue_mc, { _yscale:150,delay:1, time:3,

Tweener.addTween(web_blue_mc, { _xscale:5000, delay:1, time:3, 
transition:animationType});
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
when I applied the delay the animation does not work, If I take out the 
delay, It works fine. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

-  Pose Flash 9.0.2 update I've encountered this runtime error, with 
Tweener.addTween add 
functions given Sprite's as the target.

Q. What is the expected outcome? What happens instead?

I am currently using Flash 8 AS2 and I downloaded the Tweener AS library 
that is used in your photo stack example.  I can gain access to your 
library cause I can do trace(Tweener) and it returns [type function]... 
which tells me it can see the new classes.  However, I am getting an error 
using this line of function code from your example:

function photoSlideOut(e:Event):void

That line fails.  It fails do to not finding the Class or Interface for 
Event.  I don't know if this function is specifically for AS3 but its not 
working for me.  Can someone please help me.  Thanks!

It would be very nice if you could specify an array as the value for a
property:

circle._alpha = 50;
Tweener.addTween(circle, {_alpha: [0, 100], time: 1});

This would tween circle._alpha from 0 to 100 ignoring the existing value.

Even adding an onComplete function to ensure the x property is set to a whole 
value doesn't work.  
Tweener.addTween(this, { x:10, time:.4, transition:'easeOutQuint', 
onComplete:function(){this.x=10; 
trace(x)} });

If instead of tweening, I simply set the x property to 10, no pixelation 
occurs.  I've also tried looping 
through all of the sprite's children, and forcing the children x properties to 
int.  Hasn't worked.

using: Flash CS3, AS3.0, Mac PPC 10.4.10

When tweening dynamic textfield's alpha (from 1 to 0) that a textFormat with 
mytextfield_txt.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT, was applied to - a thick
segment of the letters' bottom stays visible at the bottom of the textfield.

Not applying this TextFieldAutoSize in the textFormat resolves this issue.

Q. What version of the class are you using, and under which development 
environment (IDE version, compiler, etc)?
- Tweener.as // AS3 1.31.74

Please provide any additional information below. Also, please attach 
*small*, sample files with minimum functionality to reproduce the problem 
if possible.

Would it be possible to distribute Tweener as an SWC to build against? This is 
fairly easy to do with 
Ant (assuming eclipse or standalone) and the free Flex3SDK and might have some 
nice benefit in 
terms of project clutter/versioning for people implementing the latest.

I do something similar on my API project - if you are interested in this 
enhancement and want to 
see the Ant targets which power it:

Please instead of using plain objects use casted VO's for the properties
throughout.

Q. What is the expected outcome? What happens instead?
When I download the latest AS3 zip file, it seems to handle _color
transitions properly, when using the code literally from the SVN repo, it
throws errors

Q. What code will reproduce the problem?
N/A

when useFrames:true, time does not reflect number-of-frames as documentation 
says.  

if i say useFrames:true, time:7, it still takes 7 SECONDS to animate, not 7 
frames.

The current code do not allow the onStart to change the starting value of
the tweened property.

To allow code such as:
// move a movieclip, 
showUp = function() {
  <movieclip>._x=100;
  <movieclip>._visible=true;
};
<movieclip>._visible = false;

Tweener.addTween(<movieclip>, {_x:400, time:1, delay:4, onStart:showUp});


in tweenrer.as
Replace:
// First update
tProperty.valueStart = getPropertyValue (tScope, tProperty.name);       if (k ==
0 && tTweening.onStart != undefined) {
  try {
    tTweening.onStart.apply(tScope, tTweening.onStartParams);
  } catch(e:Error) {
    //trace(e);
  }
}

by:

// First update
if (k == 0 && tTweening.onStart != undefined) {
  try {
    tTweening.onStart.apply(tScope, tTweening.onStartParams);
  } catch(e:Error) {
    //trace(e);

Implementation for scaling objects with one property instead of 2. Kept
convention of using an underscore for special properties. (_scale)

I am not too sure this is very useful. Tweener has such a clean syntax that
scaling both dimensions is very straight forward, but anyway I find my self
specifying both dimensions very often, so others might find it handy as well.

Attached code for as2 and as3.

Hi is is minor bug,but when you use easeInBack, easeOutBack, easeInOutBack,
easeOutInBack,easeInBounce...I did not test every transitions it gives you 
error:
1120: Access of undefined property easeOutInBack.

but when you write it like "easeoutback" is OK. Maybe samo const value have
to be change.

10x for best classes!!!!

First of all: Great Work !

I have a request which I think would make Tweener even better ...

It would be very useful if a tween would have an extra transformationPoint
parameter.
When you create a lot of displayobjects or textfields by code ( with their
transformation at 0,0 ) and applying a tweened scale for example, you have
to manually adjust the x and y values if you want it to scale from it's
center. 
The same applies to rotations around a specific point ( eg around the
center of another displayobject or the center of the stage ).

Maybe with an x and y value like this :
mc.width = mc.height = 100;
Tweener.addTween(mc, {_scale:1.2, time:1, transformationPointX:50,
transformationPointY:50});

or a string like this :

Tweener.addTween(mc, {_scale:1.2, time:1, transformationPoint:"center"});

If implemented in Tweener, a greater form of creativity would be possible,
besides easier coding.

Youssef Aberkane

Q. What is the expected outcome? What happens instead?
MTASC reports several untyped variables in SpecialPropertiesDefault and
Equations

Q. What code will reproduce the problem?
Simply try compiling Tweener with -strict
