[Xerte] FW: Transition setup?

[Dave Burnett]

Forget the .fla, I found it in google code.

The AS is over my head, but as far as I can make out:

The transition AS files get imported.
The guts are in
Transition.as
TransitionManager.as

They seem to use getcontent() as one of the means of determining the area to be affected. An overlay clip is built and that is what is erased off.

So the overlay is being built to the correct size, but the erasure function is using some other value, not completing the "wipe" of the overlay.

Any Flashmeisters care to tell me how far off base I am before I start fatfingering class files?
;-)

Interesting. I'm not a big user of styles as we tend to use the default interface.
 
In this situation, I would open up the XMLEngine.fla, look into how the transition works, put some debug statements in there and see what things look like as it runs, and see what I can figure out...

Gaa.
I found it.

Plain text works fine.
Text tagged with html tags works fine.
However, if I use a CSS style tag, the transition only covers the area where text would have been without any formatting e.g. the default text face/size.

Reproducible?

First crack at transitions.

Text icon, transition property added.
wipe('in', 1, 'None', 'easeNone', 2);
(the Help file example)

Transition reveals 3/4 of text block then halts.
Tried a few variations, other transitions, same result.
