Thanks for the replies,

I think I'm just asked the poor old flash player to do too much.

@Moses The idea is to create an animation that runs very slowly, then change
its speed by varying the gaps between the frames - Every frame means the
animation is slow, every 20th frame means it is fast - The framerate stays
the same, but the gaps between the number of the frame that is displayed
changes .
The nice thing is being able to move between the two - Like an old school
video editing desk with the spin-dials for spooling through the film.

eg (@ 25 fps)

Frame : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 19, 25, 32, 40, 49, 59

Would result in the animation speeding up exponentially.

I did some similar stuff with as2 a while back ( www.loopbrighton.com ) -
The video masked by the text in the menu varies its framerate depending on
mouse proximity, but this time round I was trying to use 500x500 px video.
Just not meant to be - Maybe a couple of Flashplayers down the line.

@Jon
Maxed out on keyframes already. Think you're right. Will have to go the
undynamic AfterEffects route.

Thanks again,

P.

Hi guys,
I've been out of the tweening game for a while due to a bunch of xhtml and
OOP work but it looks like I might have an opportunity coming up to get back
into scripted tweening big time. I'd like to finally finish a public build
of depthTween but it looks like new features in fp10 are going to force a
re-write. At any rate I need something I can start using right away and a
little googling reveals that HydroTween has the best sequencer at the
moment. It's awesome to see how Donovan's work has grown since the early
days of GO.

My question is what's the best build to go with? Donovan's blog has a
download link for rev39 and the repository has rev44 in it. I'm just
wondering which is more stable/faster for production use currently.

Take care,
--Joel

Working nicely so far. I'm just having an issue with creating
non-paramertized HydroSequence instances.
*this gives me implicit coercion errors*
var seq1:HydroSequence;
seq1 = new HydroSequence();
seq1.addStep( { target:topBanner, scaleX:1, duration:.5, easing:Back.easeOut
} );
seq1.addStep( { target:topBanner, x:"10" } );

1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly
unrelated type org.goasap.interfaces:IPlayable.

But this works,
var seq1:HydroSequence;
seq1 = new HydroSequence({ target:topBanner, scaleX:1, duration:.5,
easing:Back.easeOut }, { target:topBanner, x:"10" });

Not a huge deal, just wondering if theres a way to get the first method to
work.

I guess I'm kinda out of the loop. I don't use quotes for position ala
fuse for relative positioning with hydrotween, so that may or not be
the issue. also there are no easing params on the second step in the
sequence. that could also be the issue I can look  at it in a bit when
I'm back at a computer if you like

t.o.

Doh! My bad. I was using addStep instead of addItem.
Thanks.

I'm having trouble setting up an event listener on a HydroSequence.Should be
something like this I assume.

seq1 = new HydroSequence();
seq1.addEventListener(GoEvent.COMPLETE, callBack);
seq1.addItem( { target:topBanner, scaleX:1, x:38, duration:1,
easing:Elastic.easeOut } );
seq1.addItem({target:topAccent, scaleX:1, duration:.5});

private function callBack(e:GoEvent):void
{
trace("callback: " + e.type);
}

any ideas?

Hi Joel, H.S. isn't set up for event listeners. But you could do:

seq1 = new HydroSequence();
seq1.addEventListener(GoEvent.COMPLETE, callBack);
seq1.addItem( { target:topBanner, scaleX:1, x:38, duration:1, 
easing:Elastic.easeOut } );
seq1.addItem({target:topAccent, scaleX:1, duration:.5});
seq1.addItem({func: callBack});

private function callBack():void
{
trace("callBack()");
}

That will work just fine. Thanks Donovan.

Seems like one should be able to tie into the events dispatched by the
classes HydroSequence extends. Perhaps I'll tinker with it later. For now
functions as a sequence item works well.

Just spent all day learning how bad FP9 is at garbage collection. AS3 really
seems like a bad joke sometimes. Got me thinking though, what does GO do
with all those references once an item or sequence completes? I'm too tired
to read through the source atm so I hoping it just "does". fingers crossed.

have no fear, Go is fine tuned for all your automated GC needs. trash  
days are monday, wednesday and friday. ;-)

go is the perfect balance between overmanaged as2-style engines that  
trap references, and entirely unmanaged classes like flash's Tween  
class which can get GC'd during play unless you set a hard reference  
in your code.

with Go, once you start a tween or sequence you don't have to store a  
reference to it and it will finish playing, then get GC'd later. (Be  
sure to useWeakReference on your event listeners in this case.) Or,  
you can store hard references to tween/sequence objects in your code  
and reuse them as many times as you like.

:-)

Beautiful news. I might have a bunch of work coming my way that will require
a ton of scripted tweens. If I get it I'll be building a custom set a tools
for go. So far hydrotween is behaving great.

I hope everything else is going well Moses.
