First of all, you don't need to keep re-activating the AutoAlphaPlugin - you can just do that once in your SWF. It doesn't hurt anything to re-activate it multiple times, but it definitely doesn't help.
Regarding the infinite loop, please make sure you're using the latest version of the GreenSock code - there was a bug a couple weeks ago that could cause an infinite loop in a specific scenario, but it has since been fixed (sorry about any inconvenience that caused). http://www.TweenLite.com There are certainly other things that could cause infinite loops that have nothing to do with the tweening code, but it's tough to know without seeing how/where you're calling the functions, what the rest of your code looks like, etc. Jack -----Original Message----- From: beno - [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 9:25 AM To: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] Infinite Loops Hi; I have the following code. All the functions go in infinite loops *except* the first one, which is strange to me, since both it (hatAndFace, and both eyeball1 and eyeball2) all use the same greensock codes, yet the latter two repeat ad infinitum the alpha tween. Why is this? How do I control it such that it only plays once? I thought putting a "stop();" at the end would do the trick, but no :( TIA. beno package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.plugins.*; import com.greensock.easing.*; public class Main extends MovieClip { public function Main():void { } public function hatAndFace():void { var mcHatAndFaceInstance:mcHatAndFace = new mcHatAndFace(); TweenPlugin.activate([AutoAlphaPlugin]); addChild(mcHatAndFaceInstance); mcHatAndFaceInstance.x = 350; mcHatAndFaceInstance.y = 100; mcHatAndFaceInstance.alpha = 0; TweenLite.to(mcHatAndFaceInstance, 2, {autoAlpha:1}); } public function eyeball1():void { var mcEyeballInstance1:mcEyeball = new mcEyeball(); TweenPlugin.activate([AutoAlphaPlugin]); addChild(mcEyeballInstance1); mcEyeballInstance1.x = 380; mcEyeballInstance1.y = 115; mcEyeballInstance1.alpha = 0; TweenLite.to(mcEyeballInstance1, 2, {autoAlpha:1}); } public function eyeball2():void { var mcEyeballInstance2:mcEyeball = new mcEyeball(); TweenPlugin.activate([AutoAlphaPlugin]); addChild(mcEyeballInstance2); mcEyeballInstance2.x = 315; mcEyeballInstance2.y = 115; mcEyeballInstance2.alpha = 0; TweenLite.to(mcEyeballInstance2, 2, {autoAlpha:1}); } public function rightHand():void { var mcHandInstance1:mcHand = new mcHand(); addChild(mcHandInstance1); mcHandInstance1.x = 400; mcHandInstance1.y = 200; } public function leftHand():void { var mcHandInstance2:mcHand = new mcHand(); addChild(mcHandInstance2); mcHandInstance2.x = 800; mcHandInstance2.y = 200; } } } _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
