spark.effects.easing.Power (Flex 4 Beta)

Package	spark.effects.easing
Class	public class Power
Inheritance	Power EaseInOutBase Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

The Power class defines the easing functionality using a polynomial expression. Easing consists of two phases: the acceleration, or ease in phase, followed by the deceleration, or ease out phase. The rate of acceleration and deceleration is based on the exponent property. The higher the value of the exponent property, the greater the acceleration and deceleration. Use the easeInFraction property to specify the percentage of an animation accelerating.

The exponent used in the easing calculation. The higher the value of the exponent property, the greater the acceleration and deceleration. For example, to get quadratic behavior, set exponent to 2. To get cubic behavior, set exponent to 3. A value of 1 represents linear motion, and a value of 0 returns 1 from the ease() method.

The default value is 2.

Implementation
public function get exponent():Number
public function set exponent(value:Number):void

Parameters

	`easeInFraction:Number` (default = `0.5`) — The fraction of the overall duration in the acceleration phase, between 0.0 and 1.0.
