You can create a TransitionManager instance in two ways:
- Call the
TransitionManager.start()method. This is the simplest and recommended way to create a TransitionManager instance. - Use the
newoperator. You then designate the transition properties and start the transition effect in a second step by calling theTransitionManager.startTransition()method.

Indicates whether an instance of the Object class is in the prototype chain of the object specified
as the parameter. | Object | |

public function TransitionManager(content:MovieClip)| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0 |
Constructor function for creating a new TransitionManager instance. However, the TransitionManager.start() method is a more efficient way of creating and implementing a TransitionManager instance. If you do use the TransitionManager constructor function to create an instance, use the new operator then designate the transition properties and start the transition effect in a second step by calling the TransitionManager.startTransition() method.
For example:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTransitionManager:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(myMovieClip);
myTransitionManager.startTransition({type:Zoom, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Bounce.easeOut});
content:MovieClip — The MovieClip object to which to apply the transition effect.

public static function start(content:MovieClip, transParams:Object):fl.transitions:Transition| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0 |
Creates a new TransitionManager instance, designates the target object, applies a transition, and starts the transition. Specifically, calling this method creates an instance of the TransitionManager class if one does not already exist, creates an instance of the specified transition class designated in the transParams parameter, and then starts the transition. The transition is applied to the movie clip that is designated in the content parameter.
For example:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
TransitionManager.start(myMovieClip, {type:Zoom, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Bounce.easeOut});
Parameters
content:MovieClip — The MovieClip object to which to apply the transition effect.
| |
transParams:Object — A collection of parameters that are passed within an object. The
transParams object should contain a type parameter that indicates
the transition effect class to be applied, followed by direction, duration,
and easing parameters. In addition, you must include any parameters required by that
transition effect class. For example, the fl.transitions.Iris transition effect class requires additional
startPoint and shape parameters. So, in addition to the
type, duration, and easing parameters that every
transition requires, you would also add (to the transParams object) the
startPoint and shape parameters that the fl.transitions.Iris
effect requires.
|
fl.transitions:Transition — The Transition instance.

startTransition | () | method |
public function startTransition(transParams:Object):fl.transitions:Transition| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.0 |
Creates a transition instance and starts it. If a matching transition already exists, the existing transition is removed and a new transition is created and started. This method is used in conjunction with the constructor function.
For example:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTransitionManager:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(myMovieClip);
myTransitionManager.startTransition({type:Zoom, direction:Transition.IN, duration:1, easing:Bounce.easeOut});
Alternatively, you can use the TransitionManager.start() method, which is
a more efficient way of implementing a transition effect.
Parameters
transParams:Object — A collection of parameters that are passed within an object. The
transParams object should contain a type parameter that indicates
the transition effect class to be applied, followed by direction, duration, and easing
parameters. In addition, you must include any parameters required by that transition effect
class. For example, the fl.transitions.Iris transition effect class requires additional
startPoint and shape parameters. So, in addition to the
type, duration, and easing parameters that every
transition requires, you would also add (to the transParams object) the
startPoint and shape parameters that the fl.transitions.Iris
effect requires.
