Re: [flexcoders] sequencing effects

2007-09-13 Thread grimmwerks 
Still curious if this can be done; I mean I could write my own  
class / method that would flip through an array and make sure the  
first one is finished before going on to the other; but I've also  
tried giving different elements on the page different effects with a  
startDelay - that ALMOST works, meaning, they wait for the delayed  
time and then initiated their effect, but they're visible until that  
time.

You put the addChild WITHIN the transition?


Is there an example of this somewhere? I didn't know you could do  
that.

Trying to do about 50 things at once for a demo today.

Say I've got a state with a number of addChildren elements. I've got
a transition I want to call on those children, but not all at once --
in sequence. How can I do this? I realize the Sequence is for
sequencing effects, not elements; but is there something like that
here? Or will I have to roll my own function to step through an  
array?

Thanks Mike -- but it doesn't seem to be working with AddChild; it  
seems that when I do an addChild, nothing gets inited...
