Automatic Filter Animation using Tween Class

programming flash

Sorry guys, I’m at a loss at how to go about doing this. I’ve been following the “Using the Tween Class Part II". I even looked at the "[URL=“http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash8/filter_effects.htm”]Applying and Animating Filter Effects”. Both of them don’t offer much insights to animating a filter effect without the use of rollovers.

What I’m hoping to achieve is that the glow filter animates after the object it’s attached to finishes its animation.

So far, I’ve got the glow effect to show up. However, I can’t get it to animate after the object’s motion has finished. The following is how I have the codes set up:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;

var gf:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0xB3B3B3, 25, 3, 3, 3, 2, false, false);
var gfBX:Tween = new Tween(gf, "blurX", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true);
var gfBY:Tween = new Tween(gf, "blurY", Elastic.easeOut, 5, 5, 1, true);

var lCScaleY:Tween  = new Tween(lCCon, "_yscale", Bounce.easeOut, 0, 100, 1.5, true);

lcScaleY.onMotionFinished = function() {
    gfBX.continueTo(30, 2);
    gfBY.continueTo(30, 2);
};

gfBX.onMotionChanged = function() {
    lCCon.filters = [gf];
};

Somehow I feel the answer to this problem of mine is pretty obvious…but I’m not seeing the answer =/

If you guys can shed any light on this, that’d be great :smiley:

Thanks for your time :}
