[Golist] sequencing through a set of tweens...

[Jud Holliday]

Ah, cool. That makes sense for a normal complete event. I think Wilbur was initially looking for a way to control the timing of the sequences though, in which case I think you would still want to use an OnDurationComplete.

No, the advances should not be necessary. It's not that complicated. :-)

Sequences advance by listening for a COMPLETE or STOP event anyway. It doesn't matter if it is a child tween that fires that event or a child sequence, it will still advance.

So it should work to simply add sequences as steps. They will have start() called on them as the step starts and the parent will listen for their completion before advancing.

Make sense?

So then you would control timing using the advance property? Yep, that's probably the better way in that it doesn't require any extra classes. Maybe a bit more verbose, but still pretty easy.

So the previous code example would be changed to look something like this:

var column1Seq:SequenceCA = new SequenceCA();
column1Seq.addStep(new YourTween());
column1Seq.addStep(new YourTween());

var column2Seq:SequenceCA = new SequenceCA();
column2Seq.addStep(new YourTween());
column2Seq.addStep(new YourTween());

var column3Seq:SequenceCA = new SequenceCA();
column3Seq.addStep(new YourTween());
column3Seq.addStep(new YourTween());


var controlSeq:SequenceCA = new SequenceCA();

controlSeq.addStep( column1Seq );
//advances after .5 secs
controlSeq.lastStep.advance = new OnDurationComplete(.5);

controlSeq.addStep( column2Seq );
//advances after column2Seq is done playing
controlSeq.lastStep.advance = new OnEventComplete(column2Seq, GoEvent.COMPLETE);

controlSeq.addStep( column3Seq );
controlSeq.start();

Why not just add the other sequence as a step?

(Sequences accept any IPlayable - groups, sequences, tweens etc. - as steps.)

yes!!!  that's exactly what i'm looking for...

i'll check it out.  thanks.

Are you saying you have a number of Sequences created and you want to start them in a particular order/offset? In other words create a sequence to play your sequences?
