Tweener
From Wikicliki
Tweener is an actionscript class library which lets you make all sorts of amazing easing in and out animation effects.
Blur
import caurina.transitions.Tweener; import caurina.transitions.properties.FilterShortcuts; FilterShortcuts.init(); Tweener.addTween(contact_btn,{_Blur_blurX:5,_Blur_blurY:5, _Blur_quality: 2, time:1, transition:"easeInOutExpo"});
_Blur_quality: 2 - is to attain a high quality, which gives an almost gaussian blur effect! otherwise you just have some wanky looking motion blur in each seperate direction.
My sample implemenation (very simple example)
import caurina.transitions.Tweener; invest_mc.onRollOver = function () { invest_mc.gotoAndPlay("open"); Tweener.addTween(save_mc, {_x:168.5, time:0.3, transition:"easeInOutExpo"}); Tweener.addTween(protect_mc, {_x:58.5, time:0.3, transition:"easeInOutExpo"}); }; invest_mc.onRollOut = function () { invest_mc.gotoAndPlay("close"); Tweener.addTween(save_mc, {_x:376.4, time:0.3, transition:"easeInOutExpo"}); Tweener.addTween(protect_mc, {_x:266.5, time:0.3, transition:"easeInOutExpo"}); }
Referencing the parent / main timeline
Tweener.addTween( this.parent.getChildByName('save_mc'), {x:430, delay:3, time:1, transition:"easeOutBack"});
