Flash :: AS Tween Problem With Size Od SWF

Tween To Konstant Size But Backtween To Old Size
hello u all!

I got a big problem, may some of you can help me?

Some boxes MC's are attached on stage and now, after press, they should start their included animation. so far...

they should now change scale and position to a konstant, and after press again, !!! move back to their origin size and place.

how do you manage this per actionscript?

I also tryed the new tweening-classes, but they are not exact enough.
the boxes are then moving through each other.

here is my script:

ActionScript Code:
Array.prototype.findRemove = function(removeEntry) {
for (var i in this) {
if (this[i] === removeEntry) {
this.splice(i, 1);
}
}
};
myArray = ["0x804D4D", "0x4D6F80", "0x5E804D", "0x80804D", "0x805E4D", "0x6E4D80"];
len = myArray.length;
xpos = 200;
ypos = 300;
xscal = 30;
yscal = 30;
// ---
for (var x = 0; x<len; x++) {
currClip = _root.attachMovie("move_mc", "clip"+x, (len-x), {_x:xpos, _y:ypos, _xscale:xscal, _yscale:yscal});
//wert = myArray[random(myArray.length)];
wert = myArray[x];
my_color = new Color(currClip.card_mc.front_mc);
my_color.setRGB(wert);
currClip.meineFarbe = wert;
//myArray.findRemove(wert);
xpos *= 0.93;
ypos *= 0.95;
xscal *= 0.93;
yscal *= 0.93;
currClip._alpha = 50;
currClip.onRelease = function() {
this.card_mc.top_mc._alpha = 100;
this.card_mc.front_mc._alpha = 100;
this.card_mc.shad_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
this.card_mc.top_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
this.card_mc.front_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
newScale = 30*1.07;
newXPos = 200*1.07;
newYPos = 300*1.05;
setProperty(this, _xscale, newScale);
setProperty(this, _yscale, newScale);
import mx.transitions.Tween;
var xTween:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeIn, this._x, newXPos, 1, true);
var yTween:Tween = new Tween(this, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeIn, this._y, newYPos, 1, true);

//setProperty(this, _x, newXPos);
//setProperty(this, _y, newYPos);
this.swapDepths(99);
};

many thx for any answer!

would also be very nice, if someone could help me the next three weeks,
because I seam not to be able to handle the project till the deadline.

Tween Size Problem
Hi everyone!

this is my first post here and I have a general tweening question.
I'm working on a flash 8 portfolio and using the TWEEN class.

first I create 5 buttons:

Code:
for (i=0;i<5;i++)
{
var button:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("PButton", "button"+i, i);
I load a different image for each button and then I create some rollover effects:

Code:

button.onRollOver=function()
{
var tweenin=new Tween(this, "_width", Elastic.easeOut, 103, 203, 20, false);
new Tween(this, "_height", Elastic.easeOut, 75, 198, 20, false);
}
button.onRollOut=function()
{
new Tween(this, "_width", Strong.easeOut, 203, 103, 5, false);
new Tween(this, "_height", Strong.easeOut, 198, 75, 5, false);
}
This works only half the time
Sometimes, a tween is'nt finished correctly.
I have a feeling this has something to do with the fact that while (elastic) tweening, my rollover and rollout are fired again (without moving the mouse).

Does anybody recognize this problem?
And more important: Can you tell me if this is a good general solution for size tweening?

Kind Regards,
Alonso

Mc Size - Load And Tween To New
Hi I have a flash gallery that I am building. It is XML driven (image location / description / thumbnail location) and loads jpg images in from a thumbnail menu to an empty mc.

Some images are various different sizes. What I would like to do is tween the size of the container to fit the next chosen image.

Similar to: http://www.ronnyknight.com

Can someone give me a couple of tips on a way to approach this?

Can I work out what size the selected image is and tween between the previous with just actionscript? Or would I have to specify the size in the XML?

Any help would be really appreciated. Using Actionscript 2.0

Thanks.

PS I'm not after a complete scripted solution, just some pointing in the right direction!!

Artifacting In Bitmap Size Tween
i've searched the threads and
can't seem to find anything with
the search engine about this -

i was wondering if anyone knows a
trick to get rid of the artifacting
that happens when you tween a bitmap
by scale. it seems to pan fine - no
problems there - but when i tween
it from 110% to 100% of its size,
the pixels on the edges of things
look like they are twitching. i've
seen the problem on lots of sites,
and wondered if there is a cure.

thanks so much for your help!

Tween To Content Size Problem
Hi. I really like the effect on http://www.svizra.com/. It looks like the tween is controlled by a script that takes into account the size of the content.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a script that can do this or any help files?

I know this site is old so I am hoping it can be done in flash 5.

Motion, Size And Color Tween
Okay so I have this problem.

I took a picture and then made it black and white and smaller. And I'm going to use the original and the new one together in an animation. Basically I want to make an invisible button that follows it and when I click the button an animation moves the black and white one up and changes it into the colored one, but I don't know how to do this.

I've tried pasting the black and white one on frame 1 and then the colored one on frame 15 and creating a motion tween, but it doesn't work..

Help?

Tween Size And Shap At Same Time?
Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I have an image in the center of my stage.

I want the image to stay in the center of the stage while the image width increases. With the Image width increasing, the x value needs to decrease.

I place my image on a Keyframe, then use F5 to add frames, then convert the last frame to a Keyframe. On the last frame (a Keyframe) I increase the size and change the x value to the desired value, and then right mouse click on any non Keyframe in the timeline on the layer in question, and select Motion Tween. This creates something wierd. If I select a frame on the layer, go to the Properties, and select Shape Tween, I get an error.

Question:

Do I need to build this one frame by frame or can I use a Tween?

Thanks again,

Brad

[F8] Resize Shape Tween According To Stage Size?
Hi

I was wondering if there is a way to resize a simple shape tween according to the stage size. for example is it possible to resize a rectangle ( which grows to a biger rectangle using shape tween) to match stage width and height minus 100 (this should occur after shape tween is finished and when stage resizes). I don't know if this makes any sense but let me know anyway.

Thanks

Simple Tween Increases File Size By 3x
I have a large complex shape that is constructed of only 3 symbols.

This keeps the file size of quite a complex animation nice and low (14kb). However, when i take the shape by grouping it, and rotate it, the file size goes up to 44k. I don;t under stand why, since the tween only uses the symbols that are already resident in the file!

I would like to know how to do the tween without the file size rocketing, becuase many similar tweens need to be done, making the swf huge!

Thanks for any help

The files can be found below, the '1' being the small and '3' being the large one:

Making An Unfilled Box Bigger Using A Shape Tween, But Keeping Outline Same Size?
Hi all, been a while since I have been around here.

I have a problem that pertains to a box that I have. I create a simple box in Flash but keep it unfilled as I only want the outline. What I want to do is have a tween on that box that makes it expand, but I want to make sure that the outline is not expanded...

Basically what happens at teh moment is when you try and put a tween on the box it turns it into a symbol (as you'd expect). So when you try and enlarge that symbol for the tween it makes what should be a 1point line into what looks like a 6point line. Do you see what I mean?

The effect I am going for is an interface where the box that contains the text starts small and then enlarges to the right size, but it's important to keep the line size the same or else the effect won't work. It's a fairly straightforward thing that I wnat to do, it's just a pain because I don't know how to do it.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Seth

Weird Lines Appear During Motion Tween That Involve Size/shape Transforms...
Hey guys, I've encountered a strange problem while making my new flash cartoon;
It happens during motion tweens involving a size or shape transformation of a movie clip - For some reason these weird lines appear and flicker on and off while the tween runs. The lines can't be erased, and I have no idea how to get rid of them or what is causing them; it tends to happen when the movie clip is more of a geometric shape like a box or a table drawn using the pen tool. I've attached some images of what they look like;
See the lines? They flicker on and off, its really distracting and annoying.
I've tried to break apart the movie clip and do the size transform as a shape tween rather than motion tween but the lines still pop up RIGHT when I try to change the image's size or shape. It's happened on more than 1 occasion, after restarting the program too so I dont know whats wrong.
As you can see in the images, the lines kind of flicker on and off,change color as the tween runs.
Does anyone know how to remove these/avoid these? I would really appreciate any tips or suggestions. Thanks alot guys!!

Tween Class: Can One Tween More Than One Property Using The Same Tween
I want to scale both the _xscale and the _yscale properties of a clip, using a single execution of the Tween Class. See example below:

Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(myMovieClip_mc, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut, myMovieClip_mc._xscale, 300, 5, false);

Since one property at a time must be passed as a string to the constructor, I tried the following code, but it does not work quite as flawless as I expected:

Code:
myTween.onMotionChanged = function() {
//trace( this.position );
myMovieClip_mc._yscale += (300 - myMovieClip_mc._yscale)/12;
};
Any suggestions?

Using Stop(); On A Shape Tween Of A Swapped Movie Clip Symbol Within A Motion Tween
Thanks a lot for your time. I'm new to actionscript, and language syntax and I never really got along to begin with so I appreciate any help in the matter.

Basically the title says it all - I made a motion tween in the main scene, made a movie clip symbol (to shape tween a gradient) and added a stop(); inside the gradient-tweened-symbol. I then swapped the movie clip symbol with the motion tween in the main scene, and got exactly the effect I wanted (the item moved, then tweened itself) but the stop(); seems to have no effect.

I know this looks like one of those "that idiot didn't google before posting" questions, but I've been looking for about a half hour with different permutations of stop, doesn't work, actionscript, and flash, and I haven't found anything that seems to target this problem specifically.

If you've got any idea what's going wrong, please feel free to respond or show me how to better seek help on my own. Thanks again.

Tween Class If Moved Mc Passed Point Start Another Tween
Hey Actionscript Gurus

Now I am using the Tween Class to move some boxes in my movie, now I can move the first mc and then another mc after the first tween has finished with onMotionFinished but I was hoping someone could help with how do I start the second tween when the first mc has passed a certain _x coordinate.

ie starting the second mc moving while the first tween is still moving.

I am trying to do a intro loader for my front page controlling around 7 boxes. So I need to repeat this a few times.

Laco Tween Engine Versus Flash Native Tween
i am wondering if there is a way to put a delay (seconds) on the flashs' native tween class like you can on the laco tween engine... such as

Code:
#include "lmc_tween.as"
my_mc.tween("_x",100,1,"easeOutStrong",1.5,callbackFunction)
where "1.5" is would be the one and a half second delay before the tween starts. this is very useful to me because i dont have to use a callback function or an onMotionFinished function to start a new tween.

thanks in advance to anyone who can teach me

Tween Class Scaling Breaks Motion Tween?
I have a movie clip which uses a motion guide to animate the entry (and eventually the exit) of a bunch of other movie clips. These smaller clips contain buttons, and animate on rollOver and rollOut using the following code:

Code:
on(rollOver) {
this.swapDepths(2);
ParentxScale = new mx.transitions.Tween(this, "_xscale", mx.transitions.easing.Back.easeOut, this._xscale, 100/.6, .5, true);
ParentyScale = new mx.transitions.Tween(this, "_yscale", mx.transitions.easing.Back.easeOut, this._yscale, 100/.6, .5, true);
play();
}
on(rollOut) {
ParentxScale = new mx.transitions.Tween(this, "_xscale", mx.transitions.easing.Bounce.easeOut, this._xscale, 100, .5, true);
ParentyScale = new mx.transitions.Tween(this, "_yscale", mx.transitions.easing.Bounce.easeOut, this._yscale, 100, .5, true);
stop();
}
However, once an object has been moused over, it doesn't exit with the others. Any ideas why it seems to "fall off the track" of the motion guide?

After Tween, Jump To New Frame (using Tween Class)
I need some help with using the tween class (among other things).

See my attached test file. It's clearer than my description.

You're supposed to be able to click the "next" or "prev" buttons and see the movie clip move forwards or backwards. It works, but only on the first click of the button. After the initial click I need the timeline to jump to frame label "2", and after the second click I need the timeline to jump to frame label "3", and so on, so that I can implement a new set of perameters. Is that clear? I'm so annoyed with this. Please help!

Tween Class Problem. Tween Freeze?
I am using the tween class to do an alpha tween on some jpgs that get loaded into a movieclip. Everything thing works great until the user rapidly clicks on the 'next' arrow to jump forward to a new picture. If the user clicks too quickly something happens and the tween function stops working.

Here is the tween code:

Code:
//set up tweening
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import mx.transitions.Tween;
var tweenAlpha:Tween;
function alphaTween(object,duration){
easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeIn;
tweenAlpha = new mx.transitions.Tween(object, "_alpha", easeType, 0, 100, duration, true);
}
http://12dogsofchristmas.com/12_dogs_menu2.swf

You'll notice that if you click slowly on the arrows the pictures load correctly with the story. However, if you click fast they stop tweening.

thanks for the help.

Change From Motion Tween To Shape Tween
I am trying to have a motion tween of some text move on the page and then change into a shape (i.e, a shape tween). I can't seem to make this work. I put a keyframe at each end of the motion tween and that works fine. Then I add another keyframe, delete the text and replace it with my shape. Then I select just those frames and add the shape tween but nothing happens. How do I accomplish this successfully?

Shape Tween / Motion Tween Problem
I must be missing something very obvious.

I have created a movie that draws a box, fills in the box with color and then is supposed to have the menu swoop in from the right. Mind you this is for learnnig, not cosmetic appeal Why is it when I use tweens I get the dotted line versus a solid line in the time line?

If you take a peek at the FLA it is obvious what I am referring to. I must be using the tween function or symbols in an improper manner.

I have attached the FLA.
Any help appreciated.

How To Programmatically Begin A Tween When Another Tween Ends?
Hey everybooody,

In this example, I'm trying to programmatically fade-in the alpha of menu items created from xml data. Using the tween object, I'm trying to start the next tween once the first or previous tween has finished.

Clearly in my attempt below, the “if” statement isn't cutting it because it's not waiting for the tween to be finished.

Using the oListener.onMotionFinished method, I tried using a Boolean to return true when finished, and then to start the next tween. But clearly I haven’t figured out the proper control flow for this.

I also tried a 'do while' statement, attempting to creating a waiting-loop until the bCheck returned true, but that just created a series of open loops, and crashed the program.

The big problem here is that I'm trying to figure out how to do this while looping through an array of menu items, so that I triggure the fade in of each menu item...

Has anyone had experience with this? Thanks!!!

Here's what I was trying to do:

function fadein_menu() { var bCheck:Boolean = false;
var oListener:Object = new Object();
oListener.onMotionFinished = function(twObject:Tween):Void {
bCheck=true;
};
for (var i = 0; i<totalMenuItems; i++) {if (i==0) {var twMenuAlpha:Tween = new Tween(menuitems[i], "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 3, true);
twMenuAlpha.addListener(oListener);
} else if (i>0) {if (bCheck==true) {bCheck=false;
var twMenuAlpha:Tween = new Tween(menuitems[i], "_alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 12, true);
twMenuAlpha.addListener(oListener);
};
};
};
};

Tween Class Not Always Fulling Complete Tween
I have a switch statement that is a part of the tween effects found on the header of http://gfxcomplex.com/blog.

the problem is this case will change the rotation of a sprite and then tween it to zero. The funny thing is some times ("not all the time") some of the tween stop in the middle and do not complete leaving the sprite with a rotation somewhere in the middle of 180 to 0. My question is, is there something in my code that could be the reason for this or is this a bug??

You may have to watch the header for a long time to see this bug happen as it seems to be more a fluke then a true code bug.

PHP Code:

case 7 : var u:uint = 0; test1.getChildAt(0).rotation = 180; test1.getChildAt(1).rotation = 180; test1.getChildAt(2).rotation = 180; test1.getChildAt(3).rotation = 180; test1.getChildAt(4).rotation = 180; intervalId = setInterval(function myFunction(){ myTween1 = new Tween(test1.getChildAt(u), "rotation", Bounce.easeOut, 180, 0, 3, true); u++; if(u == 5){ clearInterval(intervalId); } }, 150);break;

Jerky Tween- How To Get A Smooth Slow Tween- Help
I'm working with a very slow tween of an image (800 by 350px and 50 kb) over a time of 60 seconds and it's jerky.

Code:

Tweener.addTween(pic, {x:pic.x-100, time:60, transition:"linear"});

I tried upping the frame rate to 30, then 60, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

I also tried using TweenLite, Tweener, and the built-in Tween class. None really performed better than the other. Another thing I tried was importing the image as a swf, masking it, and then tweening it. None of those really made a difference, still jerky.

Any ideas?

How To Motion Tween Thats Not Linear Using Script Or MC Tween?
If you wanted to do an animation of a ball that goes from A to B but not linear, how would you do it by code or Mc tween. How would you make the ball go in a curve line for example instead of a straight line from A to B?

I understand you can use a guide to get all types of non linear motion tweens on a timeline, but how would you do it using MC tween or coding.

Make Exit Tween Do Into Another Tween
okay here's the deal. for every button i have on a flash menu. i have a lil animation tween that plays when the specific button it's set for it clicked on.

what i would like to do is add an exit tween for each of these animations that does the reverse of the animation before starting up the new animation.

now... this could probably be done using gotoandplay actionscript with frame labels, but i would have to make special sets of buttons for each section...

is there another easier why for the button to play the exit tween when pressed then go to the tween of whatever button was pushed??

please let me know...

Tween Class Vs Custom Tween?
I have searched for info on the Tween class, gave up when I found little to nothing on it, so here I am with some questions.

1 - Can I use this class in MX 2004 or is it in 8 only? If so, what is the invocation script?

2 - How flexible is the easing of the Tween class? Can it do more than just fast/slow in/out (fully customizable time curves)?

3 - Can you specify a finite amount of time in which the current invocation of Tween must be completed, or do you have to calculate and apply values to enforce this?

Thanks,

I have written a function, included below, that uses the tween class to make one set of lines move/morph to the location of the second set, contained within the other movieclip.

It's basically a transition.. it's for the navigation of a site I'm working on. When you click a different navigation link, the lines that the nav & content are based around morph/change.

The problem I'm having is not all the lines tween to the right location/position. I've attached a 2 screenshots to show..

I've tried the function with the addition of the _xscale, _yscale, and _rotation properties, but they don't change anything.

Heres the function:

Code:
function moveLines(begin, end) {
//this moves the MC that holds the 5 lines to the x/y pos of the other MC.
var x_container:Tween = new Tween(_root[begin], "_x", Regular.easeOut, _root[begin]._x, _root[end]._x, 10, false);
var y_container:Tween = new Tween(_root[begin], "_y", Regular.easeOut, _root[begin]._y, _root[end]._y, 10, false);

//this is the loop that gets the start/end variables and creates the tweens
for (i=1; i<=5; i++) {
x_begin = _root[begin]["l" + i]._x;
x_end = _root[end]["l" + i]._x;

y_begin = _root[begin]["l" + i]._y;
y_end = _root[end]["l" + i]._y;

height_begin = _root[begin]["l" + i]._height;
height_end = _root[end]["l" + i]._height;

width_begin = _root[begin]["l" + i]._width;
width_end = _root[end]["l" + i]._width;

var x_tween:Tween = new Tween(_root[begin]["l" + i], "_x", Regular.easeOut, x_begin, x_end, 15, false);
var y_tween:Tween = new Tween(_root[begin]["l" + i], "_y", Regular.easeOut, y_begin, y_end, 15, false);
var height_tween:Tween = new Tween(_root[begin]["l" + i], "_height", Regular.easeOut, height_begin, height_end, 15, false);
var width_tween:Tween = new Tween(_root[begin]["l" + i], "_width", Regular.easeOut, width_begin, width_end, 15, false);
}
}
Now here are the screenshots. The first is before the tween occurs, and the second is after. As you can see, some of the lines don't fall into the right position. Any help is greatly appreciated! I have a deadline for this this week and I'm freaking out!

How To STOP A Tween With The Tween Class?
here's my code....

Code:
function generalTween(mc, attr, begin, end, time, func, easeType)
{
if (easeType == undefined) easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Bounce.easeOut;
var myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, attr, easeType, begin, end, time, true);
if (func != undefined) myTween.onMotionStopped = func;
}
function onReleaseFunc()
{
myBall.stopDrag();
generalTween(myBall, "_x", myBall._x, (Stage.width / 2), 2, undefined, mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut);
generalTween(myBall, "_y", myBall._y, (Stage.height / 2), 2, undefined, mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut);
}
myBall.onPress = function()
{
myBall.startDrag();
}
myBall.onRelease = function()
{
onReleaseFunc();
}
myBall.onReleaseOutside = function()
{
onReleaseFunc();
}
To test this just make a movieclip on your stage and give it an instance name of "myBall"

you'll notice that the problem is, if you try to click and drag the movieclip again before the tween is completed finished, then it doesn't work.

How can you force a stop on a tween?

thank you so very much in advance!!!!

Tween Vs Non-Tween Which Is Intensive On Processor
Im working on a Real time strategy game in AS3 currently, and for unit movement I need to decide whether or not I should use Tweens or looping functions which update the .x and .y parameters of the movieclips on screen.

Currently the game uses Tweens from the start position to end position, with a speed variable defining how fast it should move, but currently there are very few units moving at once. I could however use a looping function which checks to to see which units need to be moved each cycle and moves them accordingly.

The question is which with considerable amounts of units on screen at once would be less processor intensive? OR is there some other method I could use?

End 1st Tween Start 2nd Tween {Newbie}
Hi

I'm thinking of that close all day long I can't find an answer for it.
I want that the mc clip 'rahmen' play's the tween 'move' first and than when the move tween is finishe start to play the 2nd tween 'mover'.

How could I do that?

PHP Code:

stop();

MovieClip.prototype.mover = function(distX, distY, breite, hoehe, speed) {
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
        this._x += (distX-this._x)/speed;
        this._y += (distY-this._y)/speed;
        this._width += (breite-this._width)/speed;
        if (this._width === breite); {
            this._height += (hoehe-this._height)/speed;
        }
    };
};

MovieClip.prototype.move1 = function(ys, al, tar) {
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
        this._y -= ys;
        this._alpha += al;
        if (this._y <= tar) {
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
        };
    };
};


_root.attachMovie("mc_rahmen", "rahmen", 100, {_alpha:100, _x:200, _y:400});
rahmen.move1(2, 10, 200);
rahmen.mover(200, 200, 200, 100, 40);

I hope somebody could help me please.

thx a lot

Tween Multiple MovieClips- Some Tween, Some Don't
Hello Kirupa,

here's the class i use:

Code:
package com.fornicode.tween {

import gs.TweenLite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import com.fornicode.utils.*;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.Event;

public class MultiTween {

var $objList:Array = new Array();

public function MultiTween($target, $duration, $vars:Object)
{
for each ( var $obj:MovieClip in $target ) {
var $props:Array= new Array();
$props["x"] = $obj.x;
$props["y"] = $obj.y;
$props["alpha"] = $obj.alpha;
$props["scaleX"] = $obj.scaleX;
$props["scaleY"] = $obj.scaleY;
$props["rotation"] = $obj.rotation;
$props["width"] = $obj.width;
$props["height"] = $obj.height;
$props["obj"] = $obj;
$objList[$obj.name] = $props;
$vars.onComplete =this.tracer;
$vars.onCompleteParams = new Array($props["obj"]);
$vars.persist = true;
TweenLite.killTweensOf($props["obj"], true);
}

for each (var $obj_t in $objList)
{
TweenLite.to($obj_t["obj"] , $duration, $vars);
}
}
public function backToOrigin($duration, $ease)
{
for each ( var $obj_r:Object in $objList ) {
TweenLite.to($obj_r["obj"], $duration, { ease: $ease });
}
}
}
}
all i do is pass an array of movieClips and some tweenLite vars to it, and it should do a mass-tweenLite move to all clips. the problem is only two of eight clips actually "mass-move" the others do nothing. I've exhausted my scope of actionscript. I've tested all sorts of angles: linkage-all the same; "export to first frame" - all the same; tweenlite vars ( killTweensOf all clips before running, persist=true to all). All mc's are place on the stage.

any ideas whatsoever? Thank you in advance to whomever answers!

Caurina Tween - Delay Tween
Hi,

For example if i use caurina tweening class in as3 and i tween my circle, i want to apply multiple tweens, but each tween stage will come after 1 second, here is my code:
Code:
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, function() {
Tweener.addTween(circle, {x:100, y:100, time:1, transition:"easeout"})
Tweener.addTween(circle, {x:150, y:150, time:1, delay:0.1, transition:"easeout"})
});
but my tween second tween is not delaying, can anyone help me with this?

and how could i loop these different tween stages?

MOTION TWEEN Vs. SHAPE TWEEN
What slows down a .swf file more?

I have a site I'm re-doing from scratch, and I see quite a few places I got lazy and used a lot of Movie Clips. I could use shapes and have the same result. The main .swf did suffer from a little slow down...

I've read most of the literature there is on the net [on this subject], and I was wondering what first hand experience some of you had?

I know you're going to say, "It depends...", but I mean...

as a rule... which plays faster/more taxing on the browser?
