Need quick&easy help ABOUT TweenExtended

[symbolica]

Hello,

I had been away for a while for my military service. So yesterday i started to use Flash CS 4 in my new job.

Of course i encountered some errors as i wanted to modify my old files.

WHAT HAPPENED to THAT TweenExtended thing?

when i use this,

import mx.transitions.TweenExtended;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

it gives me this error,

The class or interface 'mx.transitions.TweenExtended' could not be loaded. 

How am i going to be able to use old TweenExtended class in CS 4.

BTW my publish settings are -> Player 8 & AS 2.0 what else must i do??

THANK YOU ALL,

[FKLL7]

TweenExtended is not a native class that comes with Flash, rather its a third party class for use with Flash. So your CS4 install with not have it installed already. You will need to download and install it as required for it to work. As long as your publish settings are AS2, TweenExtended should still work in your files even when in CS4. You should also note however that it seems to be last updated - 01/11/2005 so its getting old.

There has been many changes since then and more modern alternatives now days. Google: Greensock TweenMax, TweenLite, Timelinelite, Timelinemax, Tweennano, etc... Or Google: Tweener. Each of these are modern and have AS2/AS3 versions.

It might be easier to use TweenExtended for your older files, but moving forward you might consider some of those others.

All in a sudden i realized that i haven't enabled the mxp extension in a correct way. When i was working in CS 4 from the menus above i clicked "manage extensions" and saw that the extension wasn't actually enabled. Then i solved it by enabling restarting Flash.

BTW, FKLL7 thank you so much for further and instructive information. Probably I'll be using those.
