Language Version: ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The MoveInstance class implements the instance class for the Move effect. Flex creates an instance of this class when it plays a Move effect; you do not create one yourself.

Every effect class that is a subclass of the TweenEffect class supports the following events:

  • tweenEnd: Dispatched when the tween effect ends.
  • tweenUpdate: Dispatched every time a TweenEffect class calculates a new value.

The event object passed to the event listener for these events is of type TweenEvent. The TweenEvent class defines the property value, which contains the tween value calculated by the effect. For the Move effect, the TweenEvent.value property contains a 2-item Array, where:

  • value[0]:Number A value between the values of the Move.xFrom and Move.xTo property.
  • value[1]:Number A value between the values of the Move.yFrom and Move.yTo property.
