[Tweener] AS2 onComplete

[Jason Van Pelt]

It's because you're not passing in the function, you're calling it...

Tweener.addTween(_root.introText_mc, {_alpha:0, time:2,
transition:"easeIn", onComplete:testFunction()});

should be

Tweener.addTween(_root.introText_mc, {_alpha:0, time:2,
transition:"easeIn", onComplete:testFunction});

without the parentheses...

Ah, my sincerest apologies! I just worked it out.  I think it was because I
was calling a second tween after the first (which called the function).

I am not sure why that should affect anything, but it clearly did.  I
simply commented out the second tween, and it worked.

It works now.

Before code:


function testFunction() {
 //trace("Called");
 _root.introText_mc.description.htmlText = "New text to set."
 Tweener.addTween(_root.introText_mc, {_alpha:100, time:2,
transition:"easeIn"});
}

technicalLiterature_btn.onRelease = function() {
 Tweener.addTween(_root.introText_mc, {_alpha:0, time:2,
transition:"easeIn", onComplete:testFunction()});
 Tweener.addTween(_root.contentContainer_mc, {_alpha:0, time:4,
_width:_root.contentContainerFullWidth / 1.1,
_height:_root.contentContainerFullHeight / 1.1, transition:"easeIn"});
}


After code:


function testFunction() {
 //trace("Called");
 _root.introText_mc.description.htmlText = "New text to set."
 Tweener.addTween(_root.introText_mc, {_alpha:100, time:2,
transition:"easeIn"});
}

technicalLiterature_btn.onRelease = function() {
 Tweener.addTween(_root.introText_mc, {_alpha:0, time:2,
transition:"easeIn", onComplete:testFunction});
 //Tweener.addTween(_root.contentContainer_mc, {_alpha:0, time:4,
_width:_root.contentContainerFullWidth / 1.1,
_height:_root.contentContainerFullHeight / 1.1, transition:"easeIn"});
}
Many thanks!

I am sure I will be in touch again. I am pretty far behind with
Actionscript.

Can you show us the code? I only use AS2 and Tweener always behave :)

salut!

  Hi,

  Does the onComplete parameter work properly in AS2?  I am successfully
  calling a function using onComplete:functionname in the caurina tweener
  handler, but it executes the function immediately, not when the animation
  has finished running.

  I simply want to fade out a movieClip, which contains some dynamic text,
  change the dynamic text when it has faded out, and then fade it back in
  again, but it changes the text immediately, and then fades out the new
  text and back in again.

  Any ideas?

  Many thanks

  G
