[Golist] Hydro Info + FlashBelt

[donovan at hydrotik.com]

Been having a blast here at Flashbelt. Great response from everyone and it¹s
been excellent seeing old faces and meeting new ones. Once again thanks to
Moses for letting me be a part of his presentation. Even before the
presentation, creating documentation has been on the top of my list of
things to do. I plan on doing this right away when I get back. First off
here are the files including the source from my part of the presentation.
The presentation itself has been included as well.

In the meantime here is some useful info for using the sequencing part of
HydroTween.


var segOver : SequenceCA = HydroTween.parseSequence(                    [
{target:bg, width:300, brightness:-.5, duration:ANIMATION_TIME,
easing:EASING},                        {target:arrow, alpha:1, x:40,
duration:ANIMATION_TIME, easing:EASING},                        {target:tf,
x:50, alpha:1, duration:ANIMATION_TIME, easing:EASING},
{target:item, alpha:1, scaleX:1.2, scaleY:1.2, y:_posArray[i],
duration:ANIMATION_TIME, easing:EASING}
]                );
seqOver.start();


To build a sequence then automatically start it you can use the shortcut:
HydroTween.sequence();


If you wish to stop the sequence you just call:
seqOver.stop();

Insert an item in the sequence at a specified index:
seqOver.addStepAt({}, 0);

Insert an item at the end of a sequence:
seqOver.addStep({});

Pause a sqeuence:
seqOver.pause(); 
Resume a sequence:
seqOver.resume(); 
Skip to a specific item in a sequence:
seqOver.skipTo(2); 
Remove a specific item in a sequence:
seqOver.removeStepAt(1);


I will move these over to the FlashBelt post in sometime today just so it¹s
in a specific spot.
