Question

i’m just starting to learn flash and as3,
i need to send to a flash movie text using javascript and the text will move around.

first i created a label that get text from javascript

the next thing i want to do is move the label around, i think i might be missing something but dont know what.

i tried using motion tween but the label refuse to move for some reason

Answer 1

Give the TextField a name instance, for example “myDinamicText”.

Donwload TweenLite/TweenMax from greensock (http://www.greensock.com/tweenlite/) and then simply write something like this

 TweenLite.to (myDinamicText, 0.5, {x:100, y:100});

where 0.5 is the tweening duration and the others variables are the destination coordinates.

EDIT:
if you want to use the Tween Class, just write:

 var myTween:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "x", 40, 300, 5, true);

you can have a look here for a tutorial on how to use it:
