In this series finale I’m excited to introduce you to the features that make TimelineMax so special. I’m also going to touch on some special tricks you can do with TimelineLite so that you can apply wild ease effects to the total play back speed of a timeline that includes hundreds of tweens and nested timelines. You have to see it to believe it.

I’m excited to reveal to you the most powerful tools in the entire GreenSock Tweening Platform. Everything I have discussed in the last four videos has been custom tailored to prepare you for the awesome power you are about to behold. I’m going to show you two methods that will change the way you approach any script-based animation from this point forward.

Here’s a handy tool you can use to create tweens without having to guess all the numbers involved. Just click and drag to create the graph of the tween, tweak your desired timing, and export to any of four formats: Flash’s native tweening engine, Tweener, TweenLite, or TweenMax. And if you’re a Tuts+ Premium member, you can grab the source code for the tool itself!

In the previous video I showed you how to implement basic playback controls. Today I am going to talk about using labels to mark and navigate to precise locations in a TimelineLite. Labels in TimelineLite work similarly to how frame labels work in Flash IDE timelines. I’ll be showing you multiple ways to add labels and some clever ways of using them. We’ll also take a little look at some features exclusive to TimelineMax.

Today, you will learn how to remove the background color from a sprite sheet using AS3, and blit the result to a bitmap canvas. Read on to learn more!

The Starling Framework is an AS3 API that mimics the display list, with one crucial difference: it uses Flash Player 11′s new features to render all content by the GPU. In this tutorial, you will learn to add multiple animations to a sprite using the Starling Framework. It assumes a basic understanding of using spritesheets with Starling.

In the previous session I went over how to create a basic TimelineLite. Today I will show you the methods and properties that you will use to control the playback of your TimelineLite. By combining these methods and properties you can extend the built in functionality of TimelineLite to create fast-forward and play/pause toggle controls. I’ll also show you how easy it is to set up a Slider component to use as a TimelineLite scrubber.

In the first part of this series we took a general look at the capabilities of TimelineLite. In this video I’ll show you how to get up and running with your first TimelineLite animation. You’ll learn about the various methods and properties that will be a foundation for all of the lessons moving forward.

TimelineLite is the ultimate tool for creating elaborate and precise sequences of scripted animation. It is an integral part of the GreenSock Tweening Platform that allows you to make the most of TweenLite and TweenMax. This series of screencasts will walk you step by step through everything you need to know to take your AS3 tweening skills to the next level.

Picturing animation in terms of vectors is intuitive, but understanding vector mathematics is a pain. In this tutorial, I hope to ease that pain and provide a solution to animation problems using a custom written Vector2D class. We will look at some fundamental concepts of linear kinematics in the Eulerian approach: displacement, velocity and acceleration. Then, we’ll build a simple application with it.
