While this combination of multiple transform effects happens internally, it does force certain constraints that should be considered:
- The
transformCenterfor the target object is globally applied to all transform effects on that target, so it should be set to the same value on all targets. - Transform effects ignore repeat parameters, since the effects of any single Transform effect impact all other Transform effects running on the same target. Effects can still be repeated by encapsulating them in a CompositeEffect.
- The subclasses of the AnimateTransform class provide an easy way for simple manipulations of the transform effect, but for full control and fine-grained manipulation of the underlying keyframe times and values, use the AnimateTransform effect directly.
An additional constraint of this effect and its subclasses is that
the target must be of type UIComponent or GraphicElement (or a subclass
of those classes), or any other object which has similarly
defined and implemented transformAround() and
transformPointToParent() functions.
This effect is not intended to be used directly, but rather exposes common functionality used by its subclasses. To use transform effects, use the subclass effects (Move, Move3D, Scale, Scale3D, Rotate, and Rotate3D).

|---|---|---|---|
AnimateTransform(target:Object = null)
Constructor. | AnimateTransform | ||
| addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int = 0, useWeakReference:Boolean = false):void
Registers an event listener object with an EventDispatcher object so that the listener
receives notification of an event. | EventDispatcher | |
|
Captures the current values of the relevant properties
on the effect's targets and saves them as end values. | Effect | |
|
Captures the current values of the relevant properties
of an additional set of targets
Flex uses this function when a data change
effect is run.
| Effect | |
|
Captures the current values of the relevant properties
on the effect's targets. | Effect | |

Creates a single effect instance and initializes it. | Effect | |

applyChangesPostLayout | property |
applyChangesPostLayout:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Subclasses of AnimateTransform use this flag to specify whether the effect changes transform values used by the layout manager, or whether it changes values used after layout is run.
The default value is false.
Implementation
public function get applyChangesPostLayout():Boolean public function set applyChangesPostLayout(value:Boolean):voidautoCenterTransform | property |
public var autoCenterTransform:Boolean = false| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Specifies whether the transform effect occurs
around the center of the target, (width/2, height/2)
when the effect begins playing.
If the flag is not set, the transform center is determined by
the transform center of the object (transformX, transformY,
transformZ) and the transformX, transformY,
transformZ properties in this effect. That is, the
transform center is the transform center of the target object,
where any of the transformX, transformY,
transformZ properties are overridden by those
values in the effect, if set.
The default value is false.

by the autoCenterTransform property.
If autoCenterTransform is false, the transform

overridden by setting the respective properties in this effect.
