Extern TweenLite/TweenMax for Haxe JS

[PRASS]

Hi everybody,

Just to let you know that I just released an extern for TweenLite,TweenMax,TimelineLite and TimelineMax by Greensock.

It's available on haxelib and github. The API version covered is 1.9.

Hoping that will be useful for someone, your feedbacks would be much appreciated :)

Great to see!
I've been looking for a timeline implementation.

As it an extern, it's JS specific, right?
Any chance to create a version that works across NME targets, or is a rewrite needed for that?

nice work !

i also gave at try at externalizing greensock's animation package .

https://github.com/postite/GSAP

mine is not as clean ( no comments no indentation ) .

but it provides macro includes for rapid prototyping.

talking about process, i did just convert typescripts definitions located here https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/greensock/greensock.d.ts

wich makes it very easy to do externs from there .

you just have to translate some types ,adding some haxe magic and move optional parameters ( from var ?:bool to ?var:Bool ).

there is a lot of typescript definitions here:

https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped

wich make the extern work easier for us.

Afaik the js api mimics the as3 one .. so it wouldn't be a problem to "crossplatform" it !

[tom rhodes]

ha! i was doing this too, not done the max versions though :)

thanks a million for those. 

@cambiata: i did a couple of things that cross compile to flash and JS using timelinelite and it works well. have an swc included in your flash project with teh classes in and use the externs in your source path and it all works out quite nicely...

@tom: Aha! Tried it on NME neko/cpp?

[tom rhodes]

wouldn't work on anything apart from flash and JS, there would be no real classes for you to extern on the other targets. i think you'd have to port the greensock stuff to haxe for that.

i would like to be wrong about that though :)

Hi guys!

Here's my take on the tweening stuff:
https://github.com/cambiata/TweenCubeHx

A quick port of the Inkora TweenCube and TweenCubeTimeline solutions, for Haxe (2.10) and NME (3.5.5).
Seems to work as expected on Flash, Html5, Neko, Windows and Android targets.

No idea about performance, memory usage etc compared to other tweening libs.
The garbage collection stuff is NOT implemented.

@cambiata nice !

how about performance ?

@david:

Don't have a clue! Haven't tested/compared performance at all...
Just wanted to give it a shot, because I need a cross-platform timeline implementation...
I wish actuate would have that..!

[tom rhodes]

Yep. Timeline would be a great feature for actuate. As would the new slowmo ease in greensock. I'll check out this tweencube, thanks :)

How to use it in OpenFLProject of flashdevelop?

I put the tween package to src.

Main.hx

import tween.TweenMaxHaxe;


TweenMaxHaxe.to(player, 1, { x:mouseX, y:player.mouseY } );

but it show error when I run Debug/Release Flash.

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable TweenMax is not defined.

So how to solve it?

Thank for you answer.

[tom rhodes]

You'll need the actual TweenMax AS3 classes available at runtime in your SWF. Either compile a swflib with them in or just include the greensock.swc. http://haxe.org/doc/flash/usingas3classes.

i made those for js …

The Greensock stuff is great - for sure!, but it might require a commercial license in some cases.
Stumbled over this TweenX lib some time ago. Seems to be a good alternative:

but the cool thing about tweenMax for js is CSS3 animation acceleration
