[as2] how to know when mx.transitions have completed?

I’ve stripped out a bunch of other actions in my AS code to highlight the problem I’ve having.

In this example, I have a movie that uses mx.transitions to fade one movieclip out and another in when the user clicks a button.

bOnState is a variable that keeps track of which movieclip is “on”. true for one, false for the other. (works here…) :slight_smile:

Anyway, if the button is clicked rapidly the transitions start tripping over one another and I can end up with both images faded up or vice versa. Essentially, it starts another transition before the first finishes.

**What’s the best way to know my transitions are complete since they’re not really frame-based? Make sense?
**

btButOne.onRelease = function ():Void {
if ((bOnState == false) || (bOnState == undefined)) {
	bOnState = true;
	fadeOut(mcRoad, .7);
	fadeIn(mcPicRight, .5);
} else if (bOnState == true) {
	bOnState = false;
	fadeOut(mcPicRight, .5);
	fadeIn(mcRoad, 1);
}
};

function fadeIn(mc, time):Void {
    easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut;
    var begin = 0;
    var end = 100;
    varTrans = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, "_alpha", easeType, begin, end, time, true);
}

function fadeOut(mc, time):Void {
    easeType = mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut;
    var begin = 0;
    var end = 100;
    varTrans = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, "_alpha", easeType, begin, end, time, true);
}
