TimelineMax/Lite + from method

[worked 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Hey there- I'm building a sequential animation with TimelineMax, but need the power of the from() method... is there a way to duplicate this procedure while utilizing TimelineMax/Lite? Thanks!

 

var myTimeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax({tweens:[[mc, 3, {transformAroundPoint:{point:new Point(250,250), rotation:360},ease:Linear.easeNone}],[mc2, 1, {y:"100"}],[mc3, 1, {y:"100"}]], delay:0, align:TweenAlign.SEQUENCE, stagger:0, tweenClass:TweenMax, repeat:-1});

Looks like you're using a pretty stale version of v11. I removed the shortcut feature a while back in order to clean up the API and enforce data type strictness better. Anyway, you're welcome to use the from() method like this:

 

var myTimeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax({
                                         tweens:[
                                               TweenLite.from(mc, 3, {transformAroundPoint:{point:new Point(250,250), rotation:360},ease:Linear.easeNone}),
                                               TweenLite.from(mc2, 1, {y:"100"}],[mc3, 1, {y:"100"})
                                          ], 
                                          align:TweenAlign.SEQUENCE, 
                                          repeat:-1});

 

(remember, TweenLite.from() returns a TweenLite instance)
