AS instead of motion tweens

[ScriptFlipper]

Ok... I'm just curious here...
in my homepage www.punktkom.com I've made "screens" that when you click on one it changes the y-coordinate of itself and the (in some cases) other screens. It's not good-looking at all, since there's no "flow" in the movement...

So, I thougt about making motion tweens for each "screen", but that would be a lot of motiontweens and a lot of frames used... :(

Therefore I wonder if there's any AS-code that could make them "float" ?

Or maybe a tutorial?

You mean like easing ?

Well... whats that... *looking in dictionary...*
Yeah...
I tried SOMETHING like this, but it will go on for eternity... :(


do {
this._y = 0.5*this._y;
} while (this._y>0);

Try doing a search for "easing" or "scripted movement" heres a few threads to get you started:

OK, thanks... Didn't know what it was called in english...

Just to clear a point the whole shift from tweening to AS movement is because of what? Is it actually easier to motion without a timeline. Will this eventually result in a none timeline version of Flash? where tweening is out and all motion has to be done with AS?

Interesting! But that's only true if you are doing advanced tweens, right ? :q:
I mean, how hard is it to create a motion tween, a second keyframe and change the position of the object there? Not hard at all.
But if one is going to do a series of tweens with the same object, it seems a lot easier the AS way! (plus the final swf gets smaller too...)
