TransitionManager.start() 1245
transParams A collection of parameters that are passed within an object.
The
transParams object should contain a type parameter that indicates the transition effect
class to be applied, followed by
direction, duration, and easing parameters. In addition,
you must include any parameters required by that transition effect class. For example, the
mx.transitions.Iris transition effect class requires additional startPoint and shape
parameters. So, in addition to the
type, duration, and easing parameters that every
transition requires, you would also add (to the
transParams object) the startPoint and
shape parameters that the mx.transitions.Iris effect requires. The following code adds
startPoint and shape parameters to the mx.transitions.Iris effect:
{type:mx.transitions.Iris, direction:mx.transitions.Transition.IN,
duration:5, easing:mx.transitions.easing.Bounce.easeOut,
startPoint:5, shape:mx.transitions.Iris.CIRCLE}
To verify the additional required parameters for the transition class effect that you are
specifying in the
transParam object’s type parameter, see the API for that transition class.
For example, for more information about the Blinds transition class, see “Blinds transition”
on page 1250.
import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
Returns
An instance of the Transition object that the TransitionManager instance is assigned to apply.
Description
Method; creates an instance of the TransitionManager class if one does not already exist,
creates an instance of the specified transition class designated in the transParams.type
parameter, and then starts the transition. The transition is applied to the slide or movie clip
that is designated in the content parameter.
NOTE
The transParams object’s type parameter should include the full class-package name of
the classes specified for its parameters unless they are already imported by using the
import statement. To avoid having to provide the full class-package name for all the
transParams parameter collection, place the following import statements previously in
your code to import all mx.transitions classes and all mx.transitions.easing
classes:
