scripting animation

[jefargrafx]

question?

I've always stayed away from tweening animated effects in flash, seems the crazy way to an animation any way.

So I've always scripted animated movment of object

such as:

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
rate = 5;
if (this._alpha < 100){this._alpha += rate;}
}

would fade the object in

but I just created an animated arrow (a circle of arrows really) and set them to rotate like;

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
this._rotaion += -10;
}


and they seem to speed up and slow down at will.

never see that before.

any ideas?

thats far too fast for a rotation...probably give you an illusion like wheels are spinning backwards when you know they are going forwards...forget the name for that effect

slow the rotation down and all should be well
