Five Hidden Wonders of TweenLite and TweenMax

I could have used the “ScalePlugin” last week big time. Although now that you have force me to revisit the tweening tips page I'm wondering if I should use the transformMatrix for scaling. Which, as far as typing (if you don't copy and paste) puts you right back where you started.

Wonder what other treasures I be finding on this site in the future.

Thanks

as per jack's example, transformMatrix obviously outshines plain old scale. I haven't had to scale anything big enough to push the limits of what scale can handle though. its a good tip to keep in mind though for when you need it.

thanks, I'll try to keep the tips flowing, I have a big list.

thanks carl!

But how use to repeat that code?

TweenMax.allTo(mvс, 1, {y:100, ease:Back.easeOut});

thanks carl!

But how use to repeat that code?

var myTimeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax({repeat:2, repeatDelay:1.5});

var mvc:Array = new Array(mv1, mv2, mv3, mv4);

myTimeline.append(TweenMax.allTo(mvc, 1, {y:100, ease:Back.easeOut}, .9));

hello Дмитрий Васильев ,

it seems your timeline should repeat especially since you put

repeat:2, repeatDelay:1.5 in the constructor.

the code looks good

if you want to upload a file to http://ge.tt or similar I will look at it.

best,

Carl

Thanks Carl. Especially the steppedEase plugin is very interesting.!

Hi Carl great tutorials!, i have few questions about Video of Wonder 5 :

1) Can you be so kind and upload the file like you do in your other tutorials?
2) How can i make bo, luke, cooter, jesse appear randomly ?

i uploaded the files for you. see above.

please clarify what you mean by “appear randomly” … at random times or in random positions?

I don’t know if I will be able to answer right away but I will get back to you. Head feels like it is being crushed from allergies.

Time and positions is ok , by “appear randomly” i mean random order of bo, luke, cooter, jesse each time the animation starts.

Thanks for the file Carl.

the main thing you need to do is shuffle the array or randomize it. there
are many different ways.
for a small array the method below works fine. you can google “shuffle array
as3″ to read more.

replace the code in my allTo_Complete.fla with this:

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

var mcs:Array = new Array(bo, luke, cooter, jesse);
var len:int = mcs.length;
var shuffled:Array = new Array(len);
for(var i:int = 0; i<len; i++)
{
shuffled[i] = mcs.splice(int(Math.random() * (len – i)), 1)[0];
}

var tl:TimelineLite = new TimelineLite({});

tl.appendMultiple(TweenMax.allTo(shuffled, 1, {y:170, ease:Back.easeOut,
onComplete:completeSingle}, 1.5, completeAll));

function completeSingle(){
trace("i'm done");
message_txt.appendText("I'm done!n");
}
function completeAll(){
trace("we're all done!");
message_txt.appendText("nWe're ALL done!nSee ya!");
TweenMax.allTo(mcs, .5, {y:250}, .2, playAgain);
}
function playAgain(){
message_txt.text="";
TweenLite.delayedCall(3, tl.restart);
}

//end of code

hmm, pasting the code put in some funny characters. so just get the file from here:

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
