Function called when the effect creates the mask. The default value is a function that returns a Rectangle with the same dimensions as the effect target.

You can use this property to specify your own callback function to draw the mask. The function must have the following signature:

	  public function createLargeMask(targ:Object, bounds:Rectangle):Shape {
	    var myMask:Shape = new Shape();
	    // Create mask.
	  
	    return myMask;
	  }
	  

You set this property to the name of the function, as the following example shows for the WipeLeft effect:

	    <mx:WipeLeft id="showWL" createMaskFunction="createLargeMask" showTarget="false"/>

Contains the effect mask, either the default mask created by the defaultCreateMask() method, or the one specified by the function passed to the createMaskFunction property.

Easing function to use for moving the mask.

Easing function to use for scaling the mask.

Initial scaleX for mask.

Ending scaleX for mask.

Initial scaleY for mask.

Ending scaleY for mask.

Specifies that the target component is becoming visible, false, or invisible, true.

The default value is true.

The area where the mask is applied on the target. The dimensions are relative to the target itself. By default, the area is the entire target and is created like this: new Rectangle(0, 0, target.width, target.height);

The actual size of the effect target, including any drop shadows. Flex calculates the value of this property; you do not have to set it.

Initial position's x coordinate for mask.

Destination position's x coordinate for mask.

Initial position's y coordinate for mask.

Destination position's y coordinate for mask.

Constructor.

Creates the default mask for the effect.

Parameters

Initializes the move and scale properties of the effect. All subclasses should override this function. Flex calls it after the mask has been created, but before the tweens are created.

Callback method that is called when the x and y position of the mask should be updated by the effect for the last time. You do not call this method directly. This method implements the method of the superclass.

Parameters

Callback method that is called when the x and y position of the mask should be updated by the effect. You do not call this method directly. This method implements the method of the superclass.

Parameters

Callback method that is called when the scaleX and scaleY properties of the mask should be updated by the effect for the last time. You do not call this method directly. This method implements the method of the superclass.

Parameters

Callback method that is called when the scaleX and scaleY properties of the mask should be updated by the effect. You do not call this method directly. This method implements the method of the superclass.

Parameters

Pauses the effect until you call the resume() method.

Resumes the effect after it has been paused by a call to the pause() method.

Plays the effect in reverse, starting from the current position of the effect.
