Sequencing with fuse? Please help me. :(

[OVI]

Hey folks,

I am despairing with fuse… I am using it for a long time now, but I dont understand my error. I am trying to start different functions, after the previous one has finished.

I have 4 movieclips (project1, project2, project3, project4) that I want to move as group with slight delay to each other. After clicking on one of them I want it to move to a predefined position with all the other moviclips following. Right after reaching its predefined position I want the projects with a smaller index to move as group down to make space for some content. Here is my code:

//Setup and register with Zego Engine
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
ZigoEngine.simpleSetup( Shortcuts, PennerEasing, Fuse );
//-----------------------------------------------------------

//Setup Variables

var projects_counter:Number = 0;
//trace("initial projects_counter = "+projects_counter);

var max:Number = 6;

//-----------------------------------------------------------

function move() //starts the movement of all projects, y:"movement target in absolute coords")
{
for ( var s = 1; s < max; s++ )
      {
         var f:Fuse = new Fuse ();
         f.push ([
 				  	{target: _root["project"+(projects_counter+1-s)], y: 100-(s*35), time: 1+(1/((1/s)+1)), ease:"easeOutQuint"}, //move all elements with smaller index than the clicked one
				  	{target: _root["project"+(projects_counter+s)], y: 100+((s-1)*35), time: 1+(1/((1/s)+1)), ease:"easeOutQuint"} //move all elements with higher index and including the clicked one
				]);
		/* f.push(
					{func:open, scope:this} //starting "open"
				);*/
		f.start();
		//trace("(move) s = "+s);
      }
}

function open() //opens the menu for the content, y:"opening value (relative distance)"
{
for ( var n = 1; n < max; n++ )
      {
         var f2:Fuse = new Fuse ();
         f2.push (
				  	{target: _root["project"+(projects_counter + n+1)], y:"200", delay: 0.2, time: 2+(1/((1/n)+1)), ease:"easeOutBack"}
				 );
		 f2.start();
		//trace("(open) n = "+n);
      }
}

function close() //closes the menu
{
for ( var r = 1; r < max; r++ )
      {
         var f3:Fuse = new Fuse ();
         f3.push (
				  	{target: _root["project"+(projects_counter + r+1)], y:"-200", delay: 0.2, time: 2+(1/((1/r)+1)), ease:"easeInBack"}
				 );

		f3.start();
		//trace("(close) r = "+r);
      }
}



_root.project1.onPress = function()
{
	projects_counter = 0;
	move();
}

_root.project2.onPress = function()
{
	open();
}

_root.project3.onPress = function()
{
	projects_counter = 2;
	move();
}

_root.project4.onPress = function()
{
	projects_counter = 3;
	move();
}


stop();

My problem is, that the movement to the predefined position works as intended, but as soon as I enable the function "open" its screwing things up and I have no idea why.

How do I get the function "open" to start after the function "move" has finished without screwing things up? "Close" is working as intended only if I start it by clicking on a button but not automatically. I have my fla-file attached and disabled the function "open" for you to see what i want to happen. (click the red box for the open function) Enable it, to see the mess

I am really hoping that someone can help me. I am at my wit's end.

sorry this wont be of much help.

I dont know 'fuse'.. but have you looked into using TWEENMAX.. or TWEENMAXTIMELINE...etc

they are smaller, faster..and easier in my opinion.

sequencing stuff built in.
