Properties (3)

attribute

<attribute name="attribute" type="token" />

public var attribute : String;

The name of the attribute whose value is animated. This attribute is required on an animator, unless the animator is inside an animatorgroup that specifies an attribute.

beginPoleDelta

<attribute name="beginPoleDelta" />

public var beginPoleDelta = 0.25;

endPoleDelta

<attribute name="endPoleDelta" />

public var endPoleDelta = 0.25;

Setters (2)

Setters for virtual properties, to be used with setAttribute. A setter may or may not have a corresponding getter method; consult the Methods list in this section.

motion

The style of motion to use for the animator. This is one of "linear", "easin" , "easeout" , and "easeboth". The default is "easeboth"

to

The destination value for the animator.

Methods (15)

beginAnimator()

<method name="beginAnimator" args="time" />

private function beginAnimator(time : Number);

beginAnimator is called on the first iteration of the animator.

calcControlValues()

<method name="calcControlValues" args="cval" />

private function calcControlValues(cval);

Calculate the control values fro the animation. These will not change even if the animation is repeated.

calcNextValue()

<method name="calcNextValue" args="timeDifference" />

private function calcNextValue(timeDifference) : nextValue;

This method calculates the next value of the parameter being animated. This method can be used by any Animator object that inherits from LzAnimator, as long as the parameter is a scalar value (i.e. a number instead of a point).

calcNextValueLinear()

<method name="calcNextValueLinear" args="timeDifference" />

private function calcNextValueLinear(timeDifference);

This method replaces the nonlinear calcNextValue when motion is set to linear

construct()

<method name="construct" args="parent, args" />

private function construct(parent, args);

doStart()

<method name="doStart" />

private function doStart();

this is called once to set any starting values that will only need to be calculated once even if the animator repeats BRET'S NOTE: this.target.setAttribute( this.attribute , this.from ); not true if relative if doStart is called while animator is active, just return else if a "from" value has been specified then this Here is where the expected value for a view should be updated

__LZfinalizeAnim()

<method name="__LZfinalizeAnim" />

private function __LZfinalizeAnim();

prepareStart()

<method name="prepareStart" />

private function prepareStart();

resetAnimator()

<method name="resetAnimator" />

private function resetAnimator();

reset the time variables and currentValue

setMotion()

<method name="setMotion" args="eparam" />

public function setMotion(eparam : String);

Sets the motion style for the animator.

setTo()

<method name="setTo" args="eparam" />

public function setTo(eparam : Number);

Sets the destination value for the animator

setValue()

<method name="setValue" args="value" />

private function setValue(value);

sets the property specified in the binding to the value

stop()

<method name="stop" />

private function stop();

toString()

<method name="toString" />

private function toString();

update()

<method name="update" args="time" />

private function update(time) : animatorIsDone;

This is one of the core methods of an LzAnimator object. This method gets called to iterate the animation only once and then sets the property of the associated view.
