| Method | Defined By | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Initializes the tweening calculations and sets up the interpolationValues Array for the number of items equal to the elementCount property. | SeriesEffectInstance | ||
| createTween(listener:Object, startValue:Object, endValue:Object, duration:Number = -1, minFps:Number = -1):mx.effects:Tween
Creates a Tween instance,
assigns it the start, end, and duration values. | TweenEffectInstance | |
elementOffset | property |
public var elementOffset:Number = 20| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that Flex delays the start of the effect on each element in the series.
Set elementOffset to 0
to affect all elements of the series at the same time.
They start the effect at the same time and end it at the same time.
Set elementOffset to a positive integer
(such as 30) to stagger the effect on each element
by that amount of time.
For example, with a slide effect, the first element slides in
immediately, then the next element begins 30 milliseconds later,
and so on.
The amount of time for the effect to execute is the same
for each element, but the overall duration of the effect is longer.
Set elementOffset to a negative value
to have the effect begin from the last element
and move backwards through the list.
The default is 20.
interpolationValues | property |
protected var interpolationValues:Array| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The current position of each chart item being managed by this effect. This is an array of values between 0 and 1 indicating how far the effect should render each item in the series between its starting and ending values. These values are calculated based on the duration, number of elements, element offset, minimum element duration, and easing function.
minimumElementDuration | property |
public var minimumElementDuration:Number = 0| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that an individual element should take to complete the effect.
Charts with a variable number of data points in the series
cannot reliably create smooth effects
with only the duration property.
For example, an effect with a duration
of 1000 and an elementOffset
of 100 takes 900 milliseconds per element
to complete an effect if you have two elements in the series.
This is because the start of each effect is offset by 100
and each effect finishes in 1000 milliseconds.
If there are four elements in the series, each element takes 700 milliseconds to complete (the last effect starts 300 milliseconds after the first and must be completed within 1000 milliseconds). With 10 elements, each element has only 100 milliseconds
to complete the effect.The minimumElementDuration value
sets a minimal duration for each element.
No element of the series takes less than this amount of time
(in milliseconds) to execute the effect,
regardless of the number of elements in the series
and the value of the duration property.
As a result, it is possible for an effect to take longer
than a specified duration
if at least two of the following three properties are specified:
duration, offset,
and minimumElementDuration.
The default is 0.
offset | property |
public var offset:Number = 0| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that Flex delays the effect.
Use this property to stagger effects on multiple series.
The default is 0.
targetSeries | property |
protected var targetSeries:Series| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The series targeted by this instance.
type | property |
public var type:String = "show"| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
The type of transition this effect is being used for. Some series effects define different behavior based on whether they are being used during the show or hide portion of
a chart transition. The SeriesSlide effect, for example, slides elements from their position off screen when type is set to hide, and on screen when set to show. This property
is set automatically by the chart, based on whether the effect is assigned to the ShowDataEffect or HideDataEffect style.
SeriesEffectInstance | () | Constructor |
beginTween | () | method |
protected function beginTween(elementCount:int):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1 |
Initializes the tweening calculations and sets up the interpolationValues Array for the number of items equal to the elementCount property. Derived classes should call this function in their play() method.
Parameters
elementCount:int — The number of elements to generate interpolation values for.
