[F8] onMotionFinished and globals

[gobblez]

I'm trying to call something when a tween motion is finished. However it isn't working. I believe it is because the tween is being created in a function. I tried assigning global to it, but flash doesn't allow that for strict data types according to documentation. I call the glideup() function from a button. That part works, but the trace("finished") doesn't.

Here is my code:

//makes the logo glide up
function glideup() {
	var yMove:Tween = new Tween(mylogo, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, mylogo._y, mylogo._y - 160, 2, true);
}

//after glideup() is finished, this is called
yMove.onMotionFinished = function() {
	trace("finished");
}

its not working because you are defining yMove locally to the glideup() function,

define the variable yMove outside of the function like this:

var yMove:Tween
function glideup() {
	yMove = new Tween(mylogo, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, mylogo._y, mylogo._y - 160, 2, true);
}

//after glideup() is finished, this is called
yMove.onMotionFinished = function() {
	trace("finished");
}

or assign the onMotionFinished locally like so:

function glideup() {
	var yMove:Tween = new Tween(mylogo, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, mylogo._y, mylogo._y - 160, 2, true);
             yMove.onMotionFinished = function() {
	    trace("finished");
            }
}

HTH,
