Hi, Its a lot to ask but any help would be appreciated…
Essentially I have an XML slideshow that builds a list of clickable thumbnails, and also sequentially load in the clips in the order set out in the XML file, (the swf’s also have a variable declared on the last frame after which the next SWF is allowed to load). This works fine, but here is whats the problem…
I also have bit of code on the thumbnails that holds A SWF url, and clicking on it forces the loading the SWF. Clearly this can mess up the above sequence, so the code just gets the nextSibling of the currently active node, and loads that…but it doesnt! and I cannot fix it…
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
//my tween prototype //////////
MovieClip.prototype.easeInOut = function(endxscale, endyscale, endX, endY,startxrotation, endxrotation, secs, easeType) {
// var easeType = Regular.easeInOut;
trace("ease!!!")
var startX = this._x;
var startY = this._y;
var startXscale = this._xscale;
var startYscale = this._yscale;
if (this.xTween == undefined) {
this.xTween = new Tween(this, "_x", easeType, startX, endX, secs, true);
this.yTween = new Tween(this, "_y", easeType, startY, endY, secs, true);
this.xscaleTween = new Tween(this, "_xscale", easeType, startXscale, endXscale, secs, true);
this.yscaleTween = new Tween(this, "_yscale", easeType, startYscale, endYscale, secs, true);
this.xrotation = new Tween(this, "_rotation", easeType, startxrotation, endxrotation, secs, true);
} else {
this.xTween.continueTo(endX, secs);
this.yTween.continueTo(endY, secs);
this.xscaleTween.continueTo(endXscale, secs);
this.yscaleTween.continueTo(endYscale, secs);
this.xrotation.continueTo(endxrotation, secs);
}
