Tween EventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_STOP) AS2

hi…back one again, still working on that gallery and I need some help

I just finished learning how to use mx.tweens (before I was building the tweens by myself) and I really enjoy the simplicity of built in tweens.

The problem is I don’t know how to verify if a Tween is ended I searched the net and found that I have to add a listener to the tween, found some examples too but neither one is working or I found it in AS3 cuz if I try to run it it gives me some errors “the class or interface could not be loaded”

Basically I just wanna move an MC with mx tween and do some other stuff if the MC reached the desired position and the tween stopped.

myMC.onPress = function(){ myTween = new mx.transitions.Tween(this, “_x”, mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeInOut, this._x, this._x+100,2, true); }

myTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, doSomeStuff);

function doSomeStuff(e:TweenEvent):void{ trace(“the tween! She’s a’finished!”) }

the error is given on the line: function doSomeStuff(e:TweenEvent):void{ if I remove the e:TweenEvent there is no error message but nothing happens when the mc stopped moving (and I read that the e:TweenEvent is neccesary ).

You should import tween classes first.

import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

And yes, tweenEvent is necessary.

I forgot to mention that the imports were done…. and still showing the error

class or interface fl.transitions.TweenEvent could not be loaded

(I use flash CS3 …)

It looks like you’re mixing AS2 with AS3 code, that’s why you’re getting all those errors.

The TweenEvent class is an AS3 class

If I was you, I’d use Jack Doyle’s TweenLite/Max tweening class, it’s really awesome! It features a special property – onComplete – which allows you to reference a function/method of your choice that you need to invoke once the tween is finished.

Long story short, IMHO that’s the best solution to your problem
