AS2 TweenLite: tween to frame - actionscript

I have the following setup loaded:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;
TweenPlugin.activate([FramePlugin]);
OverwriteManager.init(OverwriteManager.AUTO);
and am using the following code to tween an mc to frame 20.
TweenLite.to(circle, 1, {frame:20, ease:Elastic.easeOut});
Problem is nothing happens, circle is a variable containing my mc and traces fine.
Output of
trace(circle); = _level0.circle
Can anyone see why this isn't working? The MC contains a shapetween.
Edit:
Ok so I have tested it in a new fla with the same MC and it isn't the MC that is the problem it has to do with some other part of my code preventing it.
Here is my entire code... can anyone see anything that would stop the tween to frame working? If I remove for (MovieClip in txts) {
txts[MovieClip]._alpha = 0;
} and put the tween above it it works, but as soon as it is inside a rollover again it doesn't.

Heh Solved, for some reason it doesn't like for (MovieClip in Array){} anywhere in your code, so if I substitute that for for (a in Array){} it seems to work. Odd.

for embedded PDFs, can PDFJS support both scrolling and jump to a page number at the same time?

This seems like it should be very standard behavior.
I can display a scrollable PDF with:
var container = document.getElementById('viewerContainer');
var pdfViewer = new PDFJS.PDFViewer({
container: container,
});
PDFJS.getDocument(DEFAULT_URL).then(function (pdfDocument) {
pdfViewer.setDocument(pdfDocument);
});
and I can display the PDF page by page with something like:
PDFJS.getDocument(URL_ANNOTATED_PDF_EXAMPLE).then(function getPdfHelloWorld(pdf) {
pdf.getPage(pageNumber).then(function getPageHelloWorld(page) {
var scale = 1.5;
var viewport = page.getViewport(scale);
var canvas = document.getElementById('the-canvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.height = viewport.height;
canvas.width = viewport.width;
var renderContext = {
canvasContext: context,
viewport: viewport
};
page.render(renderContext);
});
But can't seem to find any reference in the API to both allow scrolling and jumping to a particular page, besides:
pdfViewer.currentPageNumber = 3;
which doesn't work...
So I found a way to make this work (mixed with a little Angular code, "$scope.$watch...") I now have other problems with font decoding. But here is a solution that might help someone else.
var me = this;
PDFJS.externalLinkTarget = PDFJS.LinkTarget.BLANK;
var container = document.getElementById('capso-court-document__container');
function renderPDF(url, container) {
function renderPage(page) {
var SCALE = 1;
var pdfPageView = new PDFJS.PDFPageView({
container: container,
id: page.pageIndex + 1,
scale: SCALE,
defaultViewport: page.getViewport(SCALE),
textLayerFactory: new PDFJS.DefaultTextLayerFactory(),
annotationLayerFactory: new PDFJS.DefaultAnnotationLayerFactory()
});
pdfPageView.setPdfPage(page);
return pdfPageView.draw();
}
function renderPages(pdfDoc) {
var pageLoadPromises = [];
for (var num = 1; num <= pdfDoc.numPages; num++) {
pageLoadPromises.push(pdfDoc.getPage(num).then(renderPage));
}
return $q.all(pageLoadPromises);
}
PDFJS.disableWorker = true;
return PDFJS.getDocument(url)
.then(renderPages);
}
$scope.$watch(function() {
return {
filingUrl: me.filingUrl,
whenPageSelected: me.whenPageSelected,
};
}, function(newVal, oldVal) {
if (newVal.filingUrl) {
//newVal.filingUrl = URL_EXAMPLE_PDF_ANNOTATED;
//newVal.filingUrl = URL_EXAMPLE_PDF_ANNOTATED_2;
//newVal.filingUrl = URL_EXAMPLE_PDF_MULTI_PAGE;
if (newVal.filingUrl !== oldVal.filingUrl &&
newVal.whenPageSelected &&
newVal.whenPageSelected.page) {
scrollToPage(newVal.whenPageSelected.page);
}
//HACK - create new container for each newly displayed PDF
container.innerHTML = '';
var newContainerForNewPdfSelection = document.createElement('div');
container.appendChild(newContainerForNewPdfSelection);
renderPDF(newVal.filingUrl, newContainerForNewPdfSelection).then(function() {
if (newVal.whenPageSelected &&
newVal.whenPageSelected.page) {
scrollToPage(newVal.whenPageSelected.page);
}
});
}
}, true);
function scrollToPage(pageNumber) {
var pageContainer = document.getElementById('pageContainer' + pageNumber);
if (pageContainer) {
container.scrollTop = pageContainer.offsetTop;
} else {
console.warn('pdf pageContainer doesn\'t exist for index', pageNumber);
}
}

thanks for your help!
Check your code. The variable i has been declared in the code already.

Actionscript3 ArgumentError: Error #2109:

Making a touch based platform game based in actionscript 3 using Gary Rosenzweig's game as a basis, all was going well until today, I've been trying to swap out floor objects etc without changing much of the actionscript at all and I have the following error.
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label jump not found in scene jump.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at PlatformGame/moveCharacter()[C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\platformGame\PlatformGame.as:418]

This also seems to cause problems with collision detection.

The error is with the following line and is occurring because the referenced MovieClip does not have a frame labelled "jump":
char.mc.gotoAndStop(char.animstate);
My guess is that you made a change to the MovieClip which contains your character and, in doing so, removed the label which the code above references.

AS2: don't perform rollout until motion finished

I have an mc with some tweens applied to it, but if you roll out before they are done they break. I don't want to disable the button while tweens are running because if you roll out while they run you confuse the user because nothing happens and you get stuck in that frame.
What I want is to acknowledge the rollout during the tween (or after) but not run until the tweens are finished. I cannot seem to access the onmotionfinished of the tween in the rollover function from the rollout function however.
Any ideas?
If it helps here is my rollover:
buttons[i].onRollOver = function() {
var oppX:Number = Stage.width-this._x;
var oppY:Number = Stage.height-this._y;
if (oppX-209.8<=20) {
var difference:Number = Math.abs(20-(oppX-209.8));
oppX += difference;
} else if (oppX+209.8>=780) {
var difference:Number = Math.abs(780-(oppX+209.8));
oppX -= difference;
}
if (oppY-172.1<=20) {
var difference:Number = Math.abs(20-(oppY-172.1));
oppY += difference;
} else if (oppY+172.1>=580) {
var difference:Number = Math.abs(580-(oppY+172.1));
oppY -= difference;
}
var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(circle, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, circle._x, oppX, 1, true);
var TweenY:Tween = new Tween(circle, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, circle._y, oppY, 1, true);
circle.gotoAndPlay("out");
myColor = new Color(this);
myColor.setTint(153,255,0,30);
for (MovieClip in buttons) {
delete buttons[MovieClip].onEnterFrame;
if (buttons[MovieClip] != this) {
buttons[MovieClip].enabled = false;
myColor = new Color(buttons[MovieClip]);
myColor.setTint(255,255,255,80);
myColor = new Color(buttons[MovieClip]._line);
myColor.setTint(255,255,255,80);
}
}
};
and my rollOut:
buttons[i].onRollOut = function() {
this.onMotionComplete = function() {
var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(circle, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, circle._x, 400, 0.5, true);
var TweenY:Tween = new Tween(circle, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, circle._y, 300, 0.5, true);
TweenY.onMotionFinished = function() {
for (MovieClip in buttons) {
buttons[MovieClip].enabled = true;
}
};
this._parent.circle.gotoAndPlay("in");
for (MovieClip in buttons) {
buttons[MovieClip].onEnterFrame = function() {
moveButtons(this);
controlButtons(this);
};
myColor = new Color(buttons[MovieClip]);
myColor.setTint(255,255,255,0);
}
};
Realised that it wasn't the tween causing most of the problems that it was the gotoandplay because i had my stop(); calls on the same frame as the markers on that movieclip causing them to get stuck.
Did have some trouble with tween (the rollout jumped back to the rollover position if its tweens were called mid tween) but I decided to push the tweens to an array making them globally accessible and purge the array onmotionfinished then in the rollout check to see if the array contains anything and if so kill off the old tweens first.
Final product:
buttons[i].onRollOver = function() {
circle.active = this;
var oppX:Number = Stage.width-this._x;
var oppY:Number = Stage.height-this._y;
if (oppX-209.8<=20) {
var difference:Number = Math.abs(20-(oppX-209.8));
oppX += difference;
} else if (oppX+209.8>=780) {
var difference:Number = Math.abs(780-(oppX+209.8));
oppX -= difference;
}
if (oppY-172.1<=20) {
var difference:Number = Math.abs(20-(oppY-172.1));
oppY += difference;
} else if (oppY+172.1>=580) {
var difference:Number = Math.abs(580-(oppY+172.1));
oppY -= difference;
}
var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(circle, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, circle._x, oppX, 1, true);
var TweenY:Tween = new Tween(circle, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, circle._y, oppY, 1, true);
TweenY.onMotionFinished = function () {
tweens.length = 0;
}
tweens.push(TweenX,TweenY);
circle.gotoAndPlay("out");
myColor = new Color(this);
myColor.setTint(153,255,0,30);
for (MovieClip in buttons) {
delete buttons[MovieClip].onEnterFrame;

myColor = new Color(buttons[MovieClip]);
myColor.setTint(255,255,255,80);
myColor = new Color(buttons[MovieClip]._line);
myColor.setTint(255,255,255,80);
}
}
};
buttons[i].onRollOut = function() {
if (tweens.length != 0) {
tweens[0].stop();
tweens[1].stop();
delete tweens[0];
delete tweens[1];
tweens.length = 0;
}
circle.gotoAndPlay("in");
var TweenX:Tween = new Tween(circle, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeOut, circle._x, 400, 0.5, true);

Actionscript 2: Tween running extremely slow

I am using the following code to tween an movieclip once _global.choiceMade equals 1...
onClipEvent (load) {
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_global.choiceMade == 1) {
var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Back.easeOut, this._x, -349, 0.5, True);
}
}
This is contained within each frame of the main timeline. The first time it runs fine but on the next frame it runs incredibly slow (takes about 12 seconds not 0.5 and is very choppy), if I then return to the first frame and run it again now this time it is extremely slow.
I can't work out why its doing this my CPU stays around 6-15% while its running so it can't be too demanding.
Updated to show rest of my code:
On main timeline have a frame each containing a movieclip. On the timeline of each of these movieclips contains:
//tint an object with a color just like Effect panel
//r, g, b between 0 and 255; amount between 0 and 100
Color.prototype.setTint = function(r, g, b, amount) {
var percent = 100-amount;
var trans = new Object();
trans.ra = trans.ga=trans.ba=percent;
var ratio = amount/100;
trans.rb = r*ratio;
trans.gb = g*ratio;
trans.bb = b*ratio;
this.setTransform(trans);
};//Robert Penner June 2001 - http://www.robertpenner.com
MovieClip.prototype.scaleXY = function(to){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._alpha = to-(to-this._alpha)/1.2;
if(this._alpha > to-1 && this._alpha < to+1){
this._alpha = to;
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
}
}
scoreUpdated = 0;
Answer = 1;
_global.choiceMade = 0;
Buttons = new Array(this.buttonHolder.True, this.buttonHolder.False);
Answers = new Array(this.Correct, this.Wrong);
for (i=0; i<Answers.length; i++) {
Answers[i]._alpha = 0;
}
for (b=0; b<Buttons.length; b++) {
Buttons[b].thisValue = b;
}
In this movieclip there are two movieclip buttons (True and False) containing this code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndStop("over");
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndStop("up");
};
this.onPress = function() {
this.gotoAndStop("down");
};
this.onReleaseOutside = function() {
this.gotoAndStop("up");
};
this.onRelease = function() {
this.gotoAndStop("down");
whichChoice = this;
_global.choiceMade = 1;
counter = 0;
};
if (_global.choiceMade == 1) {
this.enabled = false;
this._parent.scoreNow = _global.score;
this._parent.scoreOutOf = (this._parent._parent._currentframe)- 1 + ( _global.choiceMade);
if (thisValue == this._parent._parent.Answer && whichChoice == this) {
myColor = new Color(this);
myColor.setTint(0,204,0,13);
this._parent._parent.Answers[0]._alpha = 100;
this._parent._parent.Answers[0].scaleXY(100);
this.tick.swapDepths(1000);
if (counter == 0) {
_global.score++;
counter++;
}
}
else if (thisValue == this._parent._parent.Answer) {
myColor = new Color(this);
myColor.setTint(0,204,0,13);
this.tick.swapDepths(1000);
}
else if (whichChoice == this) {
this._parent._parent.Answers[1]._alpha = 100;
this._parent._parent.Answers[1].scaleXY(100);
myColor = new Color(this);
myColor.setTint(255,0,0,13);
this.cross.swapDepths(1000);
}
else {
myColor = new Color(this);
myColor.setTint(255,0,0,13);
myColor.setTint(255,0,0,13);
this.cross.swapDepths(1000);
}
}
}
The script at the top is on a movieclip these buttons are contained in called buttonHolder which does what it says, and tweens the buttons across the screen to reveal a next button once an answer is chosen.
From what I can see, as long as you have choiceMade == 1 you create a new effect! which is not ok. because in 1 sec at 15 fps you will have 15 tweens running :(
try yo set choiceMade = 0 or somehting else than 1
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
if (_global.choiceMade == 1)
{
_global.choiceMade = -1;
var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Back.easeOut, this._x, -349, 0.5, True);
}
}
Without seeing the rest of your code it's hard to see exactly what's going on. But it looks like you never change choiceMade and it continuously recreates the tween.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_global.choiceMade == 1) {
var myTweenX:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Back.easeOut, this._x, -349, 0.5, True);
_global.choiceMade = 0;
}
}
