Keep it up.

The reason the last three letters are going at the same time is because they are in the same function. So the timer waits one second then does the function which has all three tweens that occur all at once.

So to fix this you need to either seperate each tween into a seperate function with each one having a different timer. Or listen for a motion completion event, then do the next tween with a motion completion event, and the next and so on.

You could also try a loop.

Thanks for posting your tutorial on Animation in AS3! It has been very helpful and I got almost everything done, except I am having one issue.

I am trying to make my name ( B A N X ) drop in one at a time until its done as sort of an intro to my site. I used the timer in your tutorial but for some reason, it only worked on the second letter dropping in.

So, After B dropped, it would wait 1 second, and then the ANX would drop, rather then having the A Drop, wait one second, the N drop, etc. Is there a way I can get each timed like that? I tried putting the function line over each Var but it gives me an error.

Below is the code im using…

import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;//classes to use Timer
import flash.events.TimerEvent;

var timer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 1);//create the timer
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, doNextTween);
timer.start();

var myTweenBY:Tween = new Tween(b_logo, “y”, Back.easeOut, -1, 367.4, 3, true);

function doNextTween(e:TimerEvent):void{
var myTweenAY:Tween = new Tween(a_logo, “y”, Back.easeOut, -1, 303.1, 3, true);

var myTweenNY:Tween = new Tween(n_logo, “y”, Back.easeOut, -1, 230.4, 3, true);

var myTweenXY:Tween = new Tween(x_logo, “y”, Back.easeOut, -1, 161.9, 3, true);
}

Thanks!

one thing i have to say though! re:Proment – Le Vistal

the sound file does not play well whilst the swf is downloading! is there a better way of embedeing this! so that it doesnt play until its fully downloaded! still good though!
