<div>Hi Coders,</div><div><br></div><div>I like the idea to seperate into different tweens. </div><div>I tried to do something like this a few weeks ago - but the work is not finished and has some bugs. </div><div>I've submited them anyway to SVN in my package ( KarstenGoetz ). If you are interessted, have a look.</div><div><br></div><div>I tried to set up some "interactive test", too ( not post to svn ). </div><div>What I mean is some more complex animation that starts on mouseover, rewinds on mouseout and perhaps do</div><div>some new animation on click from the given position... in other words, i played around. </div><div>I don't have results from this session but some questions:</div><div>- how would you arrange such an animation?</div><div>- I sometimes miss a more timebased handling of tweening. We can play forward and skipTo - but what about rewind a tween and rewindTo?</div><div>Imagine a slider, representing the animation time, you drag it and a tween, group or sequence would calculate the animation at this time. </div><div><br></div><div>I get a bit confused about this things, so I want to ask you. For me LinearGo and PlayableGroup ( and Sequence ) are leaving the "lightweight"-zone ( I'm pointing here to the implementations of Repeater and useFrames - all absolutly nessesary, but I start to miss the basic thing... ).</div><div>I think a basic Tween ( LinearGo, or maybe a new Class called TimeGo?;- ) should be more timeline-like. In my point of view it's not far away and I started to create some experients on that to try if its possible. I think it is - but is it a way? Maybe I'm totally wrong? Maybe I've missed some tools in Go that doing this stuff. </div><div><br></div><div>Lots of greetings</div><div><br></div><div>Karsten</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div><html>Am 17.04.2008 um 18:56 schrieb Moses Gunesch:</html><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">On Apr 17, 2008, at 10:41 AM, Tollman Owens wrote:</div> <blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I can only see the benefit of doing all of the extra functionality in</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">external classes for legibility, because you are going to</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">get the weight when you do the import, so being able to save file size</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">is not really an issue, please correct me is i am wrong.</div> </blockquote><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">It's not about legibility, it's about modularity.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Think about it from an Object-Oriented and Open-Source Sharing <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">perspective: Whoever extends LinearGo with the best (simplest, most <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">coherent, most functional) set of basic tween classes will be <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">providing a bedrock foundation for everyone else.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">The most attractive set of basic tween classes put out by one of you <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">should end up receiving a VERY high adoption rate, because this set of <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">basic tween classes can be repurposed for ANY parser or more complex <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">system.
