Possible with tween class...

Can you using the tween class have your tween go into a certain point? i.e. certain coordinates?

What do you mean by using two tweens simulataneously...currently here is the script Im using..
import mx.transitions.Tween;
SceneZoomer = ;
for (var j:Number = 0; j < SceneZoomer.length; j++) {
    SceneZoomer[j].onPress = function() {
        zoomIn(map);
    SceneZoomer[j].onRollOut = function() {
        zoomOut(map);
function zoomIn(mc:MovieClip) {
    var xs:Tween = new Tween(map, "_xscale", mx.transitions.easing.None.easeOut, map._xscale, 275, 2, true);
    var ys:Tween = new Tween(map, "_yscale", mx.transitions.easing.None.easeOut, map._yscale, 275, 2, true);
function zoomOut(mc:MovieClip) {
    var xs:Tween = new Tween(map, "_xscale", mx.transitions.easing.None.easeOut, mc._xscale, 100, 2, true);
    var ys:Tween = new Tween(map, "_yscale", mx.transitions.easing.None.easeOut, mc._yscale, 100, 2, true);
It zooms into my map mc when I click on my location 1 mc, but it zooms to the center of my map, is it possible to zoom to certain coordinates rather than the center, basically to zoom to where my location1 mc is
Thanks

Problems scaling width of movieclip with Tween class

In my app I'm scaling the width of a movieclip using the
Tween class.
My problem is that the new scaled width is not right.
Is this a bug in the as3 code? Does anyone have a solution?
trace(graphPanel.width) // 500
scaleValue = 5;
new Tween(graphPanel, "scaleX", None.easeNone, 1, scaleValue,
2,
true);
trace(graphPanel.width) // 2494.25

Sounds like you need to scale the star object inside of the star_mc. So you just need to make the star into a sprite/movie clip (how ever you want ot do it) then target that with the scaleX & scaleY, something like,
star_mc.star.scaleX = star_mc.star.scaleY = 1.5;

Glitch with tween class?

Hey everyone, I have a site that incorprerates several different tweens, one tween running on a timer in the main movie(scrolling text), another intitiated with a button click (scrolling images) within a movie thats loaded into the main movie. My issue is that the tweens sometimes freeze, especially the scrolling text and once in a while, at random images, the scrolling pictures tween freezes. I should mention that I have several different EventListeners going off in the background for mouse clicks, and I have small (15k) swfs being loaded into the movie every 3.5 seconds.. Would anyone know why the tweens freeze at times? could it have something to do with all the loading and EventListeners or is this something I have to live with?
Thanks for reading and any suggestions you may have;

Sorry, I got ahead of my self, how do I make my tween not eligible for garbage collection?
this is wad I'm using :
function fFunction(passX:Number):void {
      var myTweenX:Tween=new Tween(mMC,"x",Elastic.easeInOut,mMC.x,passX,3,true);
      var myTweenA:Tween=new Tween(mMC,"alpha",Elastic.easeInOut,.3,1,3,true);
      myTweenX.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_STOP, mStopT);
      function mStopT(e:TweenEvent):void {
       mCL.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startScrollXL);
       mCR.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startScrollXR);
       mCL.alpha=1;
       mCR.alpha=1;
       if (xValue==4) {
        mCL.alpha=.3;
        mCL.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startScrollXL);

Tween Class fails

Hi,
i was looking for some help with tween class beacuse i have a strange problem. I'm working with AS3, when i test my project, sometimes the Tween fails, sometimes it works. It's really strange, i don't know why. The animation stops before the end point. The most strange for me is why sometimes it works and sometimes no?
My code is geting a little complex, then i tried to do the same process in a simple model, and the result was the same, i run the model many times, in 5 or 3 % the animation finished before the correct end point. Does anybody with the same problem?
Thanks in advanced!
Henrique.

Thanks clbeech!
In fact, i was using one code line (var nameTween:Tween = new Tween(...)) and calling this line many times by a Timer event. But, how can i use diferent names for the tween var? May i use a counter like var nameTween[counter]:Tween = new Tween(...)?
My code is a little big and confuse, i'll try to solve the problem without publish the code. If i don't find a solution, i'll organize it and them put it here.
Thanks a lot!

Making a complex button with the Tween class...not sure why this isn't working.

Hi all,
I'm trying to make a button which scales up on rollover and
scales down on rollout and I wanted to use the Tween class to do it
because I'm going to be making a bunch of these buttons and I want
the code to be as efficient as possible.
So right now I have a circle in a movie clip, and here's what
I have on the first frame of that circle's actions layer:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function grow(who) {
var tw:Tween = new Tween(who, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut,
100, 400, 1, true);
var tw2:Tween = new Tween(who, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut,
100, 400, 1, true);
function shrink(who) {
var tw3:Tween = new Tween(who, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut,
400, 100, 1, true);
var tw4:Tween = new Tween(who, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut,
400, 100, 1, true);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(rewind);
if (rewind == true) {
shrink(this);
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
grow(this);
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
The circle scales up just fine but when I rollout it doesn't
scale back down. I did a trace to see if my tween was being called
and sure enough it was. So I did another trace to see if the
_xscale or _yscale was changing and they both were going down to
around 290 on rollOut although there's no noticeable difference in
the size of the button, it just looks like it's sitting there.
I was also wondering if importing the whole class library
will add very much to my file size?
Also, since I'm going to have a lot of these buttons on the
stage at the same time (these buttons will be like markers all over
a map so there'll probably be around 50+) would it be a bad idea to
have that many onEnterFrame checks running simultaneously? Is that
going to slow the user's CPU way down?

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I tried your code and got the rollOut to work but the button
blinks rapidly if the user rolls out and then rolls back in
quickly. Here is a link to the swf:
http://www.stationarynotes.com/studioI/buttonTest.swf
It also has to reach a complete stop the first time the
button expands or else it won't run the shrink function on rollOut.
I put all of my code on the first frame of the movie clip's
actions layer so here's what mine looks like:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function grow(who) {
var tw:Tween = new Tween(who, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut,
100, 400, 1, true);
var tw2:Tween = new Tween(who, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut,
100, 400, 1, true);
tw.onMotionFinished=function():Void{
who.onRollOut = function() {
shrink(who);
function shrink(who) {
var tw3:Tween = new Tween(who, "_xscale", Strong.easeOut,
400, 100, 1, true);
var tw4:Tween = new Tween(who, "_yscale", Strong.easeOut,
400, 100, 1, true);
this.onRollOver = function() {
grow(this);

Back posting only possible with same valuation class

Hii, I made changes in valuation class before that i closed all the open po and maintained stock zero using 201 mvt type on 31st March. Now the system is throwing error when Im doing the reversal using MB1A 202 mvt type like "Back posting only possible with same valuation class". But its taking if I take the Posting date to 1st April, and we want to post on the 31st MArch. Please provide the suggestion.
Thanks,
Manoj

System is behaving correctly..
Suppose you have changed the valuation class from X to Y as on 31.03.2014.
So your valuation class was X as on 31.03.2014.
But now your valuation class is changed as Y. and system will always try to post the valuation class Y for material.
So when you are trying to reverse the entry on 31.03.2014, system shows the error..
In that case, you should change the valuation class as on 30.03.2014 and you should do 201 movement type as on 30.03.2014, and then as on 31.03.2014, you can reverse the entry..
Now you have to reverse the 201 movement type after date 31.03.2014.

HELP PLZ!! Array Button Menu that fades in/out content with Tweener or Tween Class...!!!

OK.
So I've been trying the last couple of days to make 2 different codes i had into one...
The first on is using the Tweener class and everytime that I press a button it fades out the loaded content of the previous selection, waits for it to finish and then loads the content of the button pressed. Everything works fine with this part.
The second code is the on that is using an Array to dynamicaly rollover, rollout and keep selected the buttons.
It was also changing the content of the mc that everything is loaded on but without this fancy fade in - fade out...!!
So i think its time for some code now...:
Here are 2 different approaches:
This is the code that uses the onMotionFinished of the Tween Class:
var groupinfo:Array = [ {mc:about, toload:"mcHome"},
     {mc:service, toload:"mcService"},
     {mc:contact, toload:"mcContact"}];
var activebtn:MovieClip;
var holder1:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("mcHome", "mcMain", 10);
holder1._x = 0;
holder1._y = 110;
function doClick() {
//          \/THE PROBLEM IS FROM HERE\/
     if (this != activebtn){
          var mcTween:Tween = new Tween(mcMain, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 1, true);
          mcTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
               _root.holder1.attachMovie(this.p, "mcMain", 1);
               var mcTween2:Tween = new Tween(mcMain, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 10, true);
//          /\UNTIL HERE/\
     var prevbtn:MovieClip = activebtn;
     activebtn = this;
     this.gotoAndStop(FADEINSTOP);
     prevbtn.onRollOut();
function init() {
   for (var element in groupinfo) {
      // btn is a pointer to one of the nav buttons
      var btn:MovieClip = groupinfo[element].mc;
      // have each button remember which library/mc it is supposed to load
      btn.p = groupinfo[element].toload;
      // assign functions to each event
      btn.onRollOver = doRollOver;
      btn.onRollOut = doRollOut;
      btn.onRelease = doClick;
init();
And the Example:
The onMotionTween code works ok with the tweening but doesn't change the movieclip.
This is the code that uses the caurina Tweener Class with no onMotionFinished:
var groupinfo:Array = [{mc:about, toload:"mcHome"},
                            {mc:service, toload:"mcService"},
                            {mc:contact, toload:"mcContact"}];
var activebtn:MovieClip;
var holder1:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("mcHome", "mcMain", 10);
holder1._x = 0;
holder1._y = 110;
function doClick() {
//          \/PROBLEM FROM HERE\/
     if (this != activebtn) {
          Tweener.addTween(mcMain,{_alpha:0, time:1, transition:"easeOutQuart"});
          var holder2:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie(this.p, "mcMain2", 11);
          holder2._alpha = 0;
          holder2._x = 0;
          holder2._y = 110;
          Tweener.addTween(mcMain2,{_alpha:100, time:1, delay:1, transition:"easeOutQuart"});
          mcMain = mcMain2;
//           /\TO HERE!!!/\
     var prevbtn:MovieClip = activebtn;
     activebtn = this;
     this.gotoAndStop(FADEINSTOP);
     prevbtn.onRollOut();
function init() {
     for (var element in groupinfo) {
          // btn is a pointer to one of the nav buttons
          var btn:MovieClip = groupinfo[element].mc;
          // have each button remember which library/mc it is supposed to load
          btn.p = groupinfo[element].toload;
          // assign functions to each event
          btn.onRollOver = doRollOver;
          btn.onRollOut = doRollOut;
          btn.onRelease = doClick;
init();
Other Example:
The Tweener code works perfectly this first time but the second time removes the conent and does just the fade in.
The code for the buton group i got it from                     here...
Please could someone help me with this thing!!
I think its a great piece of dynamic code if we can eventualy make it work properly!!
Thanksss!!!
Shorten the code... Left only the part that needs mod!!

clbeech, Thank you but doesnt do anything either....!!It is a bit usefull but... !!
The problem is that the code cant give the "this.p" to the movieclip...
Here is the mess i've made with few changes from your part... and alot of treces to wich detected that the this.p is can't get in the onMotionFinished function...
its only the doClick function:
function doClick() {
     trace ("---------vars after click----------")
     trace ("activebtnStart "+ activebtn);
     trace ("this.p OutPre: " + this.p);
     if (this != activebtn){
          trace ("mcMainAlphaBefore: " + mcMain._alpha);
          trace ("mcMainBefore: " + mcMain);
          var mcTween:Tween = new Tween(mcMain, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 1, true);
          mcTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
               holder["mcMain"].removeMovieClip();
//               trace ("mcMainStart: " + mcMain);
//               trace ("mcMain2Start: " + mcMain2);
//               trace ("mcMainAlphaStart: " + mcMain._alpha);
//               trace ("mcMain2AlphaStart: " + mcMain2._alpha);
               trace ("this: " + this);
               trace ("this.p Pre: " + this.p);
               holder.attachMovie(btn.p, "mcMain", 1);
               holder.alpha = 0;
               trace ("this.p After: " + this.p);
//               mcMain = mcMain2;
               new Tween(mcMain, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 10, true);
//               mcMain._alpha = 100;
//               trace ("mcMainEnd: " + mcMain);
//               trace ("mcMain2End: " + mcMain2);
//               trace ("mcMainAlphaEnd: " + mcMain._alpha);
//               trace ("mcMain2AlphaStart: " + mcMain2._alpha);

Need help with AS 2 Tween class

Hi,
I'm using the tween class just fine, but I want my tween to
move on a curve.
I can't seem to figure out how to achievve this.
I get the math to do this sort of thing, and I think I could
manage it with
AS3, but the project requires the use of AS2. I'm having
issues
transitioning what I know to what I need.
Can anyone help??
Thanks,
KB

you can use the tween class to update an object property and,
if you have a parametric equation for your curve, you can use your
tween's onMotionChanged event to update your object's _x and _y
properties.

Is it flash bug? Tween Class

I've been working on a bit big project. I've some components on the stage. There are basically 4 frames. Each frame has some components. What I've done is, I've used tween class. Workflow is something like this:
Frame 1:
--used Tween class to get fade effect for List component.
--used Tween.MOTION_FINISH event to fire an event when it is finished.
--when it is finished, applied eventListener
--on Change event, remove eventListeners and use Tween class again to get reverse fade effect.
--again used Tween.MOTION_FINISH event to fire an event when finished.
--in that evenHandler, gotoAndStop(2);
Frame 2:
//similar
Frame 3:
//similar
and so on.. now, what happens, is, if i play with my scene, sometimes tween class failed to work. sometimes it does not display List component, sometimes it displays List component with alpha 0.2. sometimes it happens with movieClip also. Is it flash bug or problem with my code?

probably a coding problem. the most common error that seems like a flash bug would be to define a tween within a function body allowing flash to gc that tween, possibly before it starts and/or completes.

Tween Class acting up

Im getting some very odd effects with the Tween class,
particularly with alpha tweens. Alpha tweens seem to be freezing up
sometimes, but they won't always. When I put in the tween:
function ani():void{
var holderTween:Tween = new Tween(holder, "alpha",
Strong.easeOut, 0, 1, 20, false);
It would often freeze, and then several of my other Tweens
started to freeze. I thought maybe it was cause I was redeclaring
the tween with the same variable name over and over (in the example
above rerunning ani() before the first tween finished), the old
tweens were being marked for garbage collection as they no longer
had a referrence. Is this possible??? If so is there an easy way
around that? Still doesnt explain why it would effect my other
Tweens though. Is it cause im redeclaring the variable? would
declaring the variable outside the function make a
difference?

yeah, if you want 54% you put .54
I appear to have found a solution the the problem. I could
have used whenMotionFinished, but I dont want to have to wait till
then. If I use an array to keep track of the variouse tweens then I
can stop the old ones before redeclaring new ones. I think I should
be able to just delete them as well, but im just stopping them for
the moment. I guess the garbage collection doesnt happen fast
enouph... or it misses it cause they had the same name. It only
seemed to happen when you repeated the same Tween class very
quickly.

Problem with Tweens and HitTest

Hi guys,
I have a problem with by code generated Tweens and HitTest.
But first of all the backgeround info. I have a couple of dots. They are generated from a single movieclip and differ in scale. The idea is, that the biggest one ist set to the middle position of the stage.
The others are coming from the outer stage border and are moving towards the middle position. This is done by using the Tween class.
What should happen is, that they stop exactly at the border of the dots which are already in the middle. In the beginning there is just the main, big dot which was manually positioned to the middle. When the first dot reached its position, the bounding box should include this new dot.
I use the hitTestObjects method to stop the Tweeing.
The problem is, that there is a 80% chance that the dots have gaps or overlapping each other. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks for every reply!
This is the hitTesting Code in the main class:
public function hitTesting(e:Event):void{
                              for(var i:int=0; i<dotArray.length;i++){
                                                  for(var j:int=i+1; j<dotArray.length;j++){
                                                            if(dotArray[i].hitTestObject(dotArray[j])==true){
                                                                      dotArray[i].stopTweening();
                                                                      dotArray[j].stopTweening();
This is the code for a single Dot
public function Dot(anchorArray:Array,randomX:int,randomY:int,scaleVal:Number,first:Boolean, delayVal:Number, lastElement:Boolean, values:Array) {
     this.x=randomX;
     this.y=randomY;
     this.scaleX=this.scaleY=scaleVal;
     this.valueName=values[0];
     this.countValue=values[1];
     this.gRanking=values[2]
     this.lastElement= lastElement;
     this.first=first;
      if(!first){
           this.xTween = new Tween(this, "x", None.easeNone, this.x, anchorArray[0], 20, false);
           this.yTween = new Tween(this, "y", None.easeNone, this.y, anchorArray[1], 20, false);
           this.xTween.start();
           this.yTween.start();
public function stopTweening():void{
if(!first){
      if(lastElement)
           parent.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, parent.hitTesting);
      xTween.stop();
      yTween.stop();

Ok guys,
found a solution. It seems to be, that the build in HitTest functionality is to inaccurate for my problem.
I found a better implementation here.
Tanks for reading.

How to create a Jar with only class files?

Dear all,
I want to create a jar file with only classes.My class files and java files are in different folders under com .
say
com
in com there are two folders
folder 1 -- subfolder 1
folder 2 -- subfolder 2
like this.
If i want to create a jar file from com directory how should i give the jar command.Again my jar should contain only .class files.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
lekshmi

It doesn't work.Says "No such class or directory"
Any other way Or is it possible to do so?Read the link I posted and create the statement to make your structure. I was thinking you were inside the com directory but if you are above it you will need something like this instead:
jar -cf test.jar com\*.class com\subfolder1\*.class com\subfoler2\*.class
But either way don't just copy and past this. Think about what is does so that you can make it work for you.
Also, you might want to look into using Ant if you are going to be building this a lot.

Is there a bug in the as3 tween class

Is there a bug in the as3 tween class that causes tweens to stop before completing. I read that there is and that a 3rd party tween class should be used. I'm just starting out learning as3 and experimenting but this would be good to know when I move onto more complex projects.
Also the solution for this was to make your function global. Does this simply mean place your function in the top level of your movie.
I have done research on this topic but I found many conflicting answers.
Any assistance is welcome thanks in advance.

the tween declaration (if you need one) must be placed within the scope of the function. so, if the below function f() is defined in a movieclip, you can use any of the 3 (but don't use the last):
///////// most common use ////////////////////////////////////////
var t:Tween;
function f(){
t=new Tween(...)
/////// next most common use /////////////////////////////////////////
//no declaration needed because the tween is not referenced anywhere outside the function so need not be assigned a variable
function f(){
new Tween(...)
/////////// least common, not good coding, but possible ////////////
// var t:Tween; // declared on the root timeline, for example
function f(){
MovieClip(root).t=new Tween(...)
p.s. please mark correct/helpful answers

Update query with CL_SQL_STATEMENT class

Hi all,
I'm trying to execute an update query with ADBC classes in order to modify two parameters (n_doc and processed) from a row with the following instructions:
      l_con_ref = cl_sql_connection=>get_connection( 'DB_7879' ).
      l_stmt_ref = l_con_ref->create_statement( ).
     CONCATENATE 'update' gv_table ' set n_doc= ? processed = ''X'' where id_ordn = ? ' INTO l_stmt SEPARATED BY space.
      GET REFERENCE OF materialdocument INTO l_dref.
      l_stmt_ref->set_param( l_dref ).
      GET REFERENCE OF ps_zmm_mov-id_ordn INTO l_dref.
      l_stmt_ref->set_param( l_dref ).
      l_stmt_ref->execute_update( l_stmt ).
However, I got the error ORA-0933: SQL command not properly ended. I guess this error occurs because I am trying to update two parameters with a single query since using the following CONCATENATE instruction
     CONCATENATE 'update' gv_table ' set n_doc= ? where id_ordn = ? ' INTO l_stmt SEPARATED BY space.
results ok.
Does anybody know if it is possible to modify two parameters with only one update query with ADBC classes?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Suhas,
Based on Oracle, I see it conforms almost completely ISO/IEC 9075 ([Oracle and Standard SQL|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/ap_standard_sql.htm#10293])
UPDATE seems to conform completely [UPDATE SET clause|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/statements_108a.htm#2087215]
So using a comma to separate columns is true for every SQL language that conforms ISO/IEC 9075
Sandra
PS: of course SAP's "Open SQL" language does not conform at all

Tween Class - calling Function

What am I doing wrong? I have been using the Tween Class in AS2 for years. This is how I have been using it.
//Beginning of my Flash file
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function fadeon(mcname:String) {
    new Tween(mcname, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 1.5, true);
//This is placed on Frames where I want to call this particular Tween
fadeon(mymovieclipsname);
Similiar setup for AS3 with no errors when I run it. The only problem is it doens't work.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
function fadeon(mcname:String):void {
    new Tween(mcname, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 1.5, true);
//on Frames where I want to call this particular Tween
mymovieclipsname.fadeon();
if I run this portion the same as AS2 I get this lovely Compiler Error message.
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:MovieClip to an unrelated type String.
Any thoughts or help wold be greatly appreciated.

Note that a better solution for AS3 is to simply create a Class that does the tween (to itself), then apply that to each bullet and leave the parent out of it. I'd probably have done the same thing in AS2 as well, but I learned As1>As3>As2, so my experience is not representative.
Here's the Class that I use to do this (note I didn't use a Tween for this task as they have the danger to go out of memory before the tween is done unless you store a reference to them):
package view.effects {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
//view.effects.SimpleFadeIn
public class SimpleFadeIn extends Sprite {
public function SimpleFadeIn() {
   super();
   addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, startFade);
protected function startFade(e:Event):void {
   alpha = 0;
   addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, doFade);
   addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, cleanUp);
protected function doFade(e:Event):void {
   if (alpha < 1) {
    alpha += .04;
   } else {
    cleanUp(e);
protected function cleanUp(e:Event):void {
   removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, doFade);
   removeEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, cleanUp);
Note that the reason the path to the Class is there in a comment is so team members can copy and paste it into the Base Class for a MC they want to apply this behavior to.

Possible with tween class...
