Class Parameters for Flash CS3 fl.transitions

PixelDissolve Transition

import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

// apply PixelDissolve transition
TransitionManager.start(photo_mc, {type:PixelDissolve, direction:Transition.IN, duration:5, easing:None.easeNone, xSections:50, ySections:50});

The PixelDissolve effect takes two class parameters. The xSections parameter can be an integer from 1 – 50 and sets the number of small masks on the horizontal axis. The ySections parameter does the same for the vertical axis.

Rotate Transition

import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

// apply Rotate transition
TransitionManager.start(photo_mc, {type:Rotate, direction:Transition.IN, duration:5, easing:None.easeNone, ccw:false, degrees:1080});

The Rotate effects needs two class parameters. The ccw parameter sets the rotation to counter clock wise if the boolean value is set to true and clock wise if set to false. The degrees parameter is an integer between 1 – 9999 and determines the amount of rotation. For example, to rotate the object three times, I have set this parameter to 360 x 3 which is 1080.

Squeeze Transition

import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

// apply Squeeze transition
TransitionManager.start(photo_mc, {type:Squeeze, direction:Transition.IN, duration:5, easing:None.easeNone, dimension:0});

The Squeeze class parameter is dimension and can be an integer 0 or 1. If set to 0, the effect will be horizontal and vertical, if set to 1.

Wipe Transition

import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

// apply Wipe transition
TransitionManager.start(photo_mc, {type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:5, easing:None.easeNone, startPoint:6});

The Wipe effect takes the startPoint class parameter which controls the starting point for the effect. As above, the integer can be 1 – 9.
