/** * VERSION: 0.41 (beta) * DATE: 2010-12-24 * AS3 * UPDATES AND DOCS AT: http://www.greensock.com **/ package com.greensock.motionPaths { import flash.display.Graphics; import flash.geom.Matrix; import flash.geom.Point; import flash.events.Event; /** * A LinePath2D defines a path (using as many Points as you want) on which a PathFollower can be * placed and animated. A PathFollower's position along the path is described using the PathFollower's * progress property, a value between 0 and 1 where 0 is at the beginning of the path, * 0.5 is in the middle, and 1 is at the very end. To tween a PathFollower along the path, simply tween its * progress property. To tween ALL of the followers on the path at once, you can tween the * LinePath2D's progress property which performs better than tweening every PathFollower's * progress property individually. PathFollowers automatically wrap so that if the * progress value exceeds 1 it continues at the beginning of the path, meaning that tweening * its progress from 0 to 2 would have the same effect as tweening it from 0 to 1 twice * (it would appear to loop).

* * Since LinePath2D extends the Shape class, you can add an instance to the display list to see a line representation * of the path drawn which can be particularly helpful during the production phase. Use lineStyle() * to adjust the color, thickness, and other attributes of the line that is drawn (or set the LinePath2D's * visible property to false or don't add it to the display list if you don't want to see the line * at all). You can also adjust all of its properties like scaleX, scaleY, rotation, width, height, x, * and y. That means you can tween those values as well to achieve very dynamic, complex effects * with ease.

* * @example Example AS3 code:import com.greensock.~~; import com.greensock.easing.~~; import com.greensock.motionPaths.~~; import flash.geom.Point; //create a LinePath2D with 5 Points var path:LinePath2D = new LinePath2D([new Point(0, 0), new Point(100, 100), new Point(350, 150), new Point(50, 200), new Point(550, 400)]); //add it to the display list so we can see it (you can skip this if you prefer) addChild(path); //create an array containing 30 blue squares var boxes:Array = []; for (var i:int = 0; i < 30; i++) { boxes.push(createSquare(10, 0x0000FF)); } //distribute the blue squares evenly across the entire path and set them to autoRotate path.distribute(boxes, 0, 1, true); //put a red square exactly halfway through the 2nd segment path.addFollower(createSquare(10, 0xFF0000), path.getSegmentProgress(2, 0.5)); //tween all of the squares through the path once (wrapping when they reach the end) TweenMax.to(path, 20, {progress:1}); //while the squares are animating through the path, tween the path's position and rotation too! TweenMax.to(path, 3, {rotation:180, x:550, y:400, ease:Back.easeOut, delay:3}); //method for creating squares function createSquare(size:Number, color:uint=0xFF0000):Shape { var s:Shape = new Shape(); s.graphics.beginFill(color, 1); s.graphics.drawRect(-size / 2, -size / 2, size, size); s.graphics.endFill(); this.addChild(s); return s; } * * NOTES
