[Tweener] Weird loopingproblem...

Mon Aug 13 01:27:40 PDT 2007

Hi guys!

Sorry for my late answer.
Now I have removed the tweens using Zeh's suggestion & it seems to be
working. I've tried to force the error with no luck.
My navigation is using SWFAdress for deeplinking and browser's back &
forward functionality.
I don't now how much you guys now about SWFAdress but this is what I did:

I created a global function:

_global.resetHem = function(section){
     Tweener.removeTweens(container.contentMC.imgContainer.imgContent1);
     Tweener.removeTweens(container.contentMC.imgContainer.imgContent2);

};

I know - the paths became quite long... :-)

Then I have SWFAddress.setValue("whatever section name"); on the onRelease
of the navigation btns. The setValue takes me to different frames depending
on the sectiont & here I call resetHem(); & loads the new section swf. It
seems to be enough to remove the tweens without a need for resetting the
x-values.
Go here if you guys have the time and see if there are any problems:

Also - use the browser's back & forward btns to see if there are any
problems with that as well...

Thanks guys for such quick replies..!
Zeh - I will look into your suggestions right away.
Ernesto I use Firefox 2.0 as well and I get the problem.
I thought that since I'm loading external swfs into the same container it
would clear out everything...

Hello, Niklas, Ernesto,

On this case, the problem seem to revolve around the fact that you're 
telling the animation to keep looping and never remove it. When you move 
to another section, then go back to the original section, a new 
animation is started, even if the old one already existed; so two 
distinct animation chains are taking place at the same time. Usually, 
they'd overwrite each other, but since they may be so far apart (~27 
seconds), there's a few moments when two of them would coexist; 
tweenings are only overwritten if their animation times overlap.

I'd have to know a lot more about the way your movie is setup to be sure 
of this. But if my theory is correct, you just need to remove the 
animations from your images after exiting the section (or before showing 
it again). Something as such:

Tweener.removeTweens(imgContent1);
Tweener.removeTweens(imgContent2);

I'd like to ask you to try that and see if that solves the problem. 
Adding some kind of _x reset would also be nice, that way you won't risk 
removing an animation that is halfway through and having to deal with 
images outside of their original area (since you're doing relative 
tweenings only).

Again, *if* I'm correct, it's more of a matter of at *which* moment you 
revisited the area than which browser you used when doing so. If you 
manage to visit the area at the very right moment, the animations would 
successfully overwrite each other and you wouldn't see that problem.

Zeh
