						<p>Flex effects are, to this graphics geek, one  of the coolest and most interesting parts of the Flex platform. Flex effects  make it easy to create rich applications and compelling user experiences. In  fact, Flex effects are so useful that we decided to make them even more  powerful in Adobe Flex 4. We've enabled them to target arbitrary  objects and property types, to take advantage of new technologies in Flash  Player, and to be more powerful and functional in general. </p>
        <p>This article describes the new effects in Flex  4. In order to get you up to speed quickly, I'll dive right into the  main classes and provide code examples to implement basic effects. The details  of how Flex effects work in general are outside the scope of this article—I'll  focus on using the new capabilities of Flex 4 effects to create animations and  describe how to incorporate them into your applications. This article doesn't  cover all of the new Flex 4 features that you may see in some of the code  snippets, such as the new spark components, multiple namespaces, the  Declarations block, and the new states syntax, because there are other articles  available that address those enhancements. That leaves us free to focus on  animation.</p>
<p>Because of the numerous animation features  available in Flex 4, it was impossible to fit descriptions of all of the  new effects functionality into one bite-sized article. Instead, this topic is  broken up into two parts: Part 1 describes the basic infrastructure of the new  effects and covers the basic, fundamental effects that most Flex developers may  use on a regular basis. Part 2 describes some of the more advanced effects that  build on new functionality available in Flash Player 10. </p>

        Working with the Animate class: &#034;One effect to rule them all&#034;</h3>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_0" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<p>All of the new effects in Flex 4  are  subclasses from the class Animate, which is itself a subclass of the Effect  class. Rather than break backward compatibility with the old effects—which use  the TweenEffect superclass—we created a new effect hierarchy in Flex 4. Now these systems live in parallel: the older Flex 3 effects still work  as usual and can be used on components, without any changes. Flex 4   developers can take advantage of the new Flex 4  effects, which work on old  and new components, as well as the new graphic elements and even arbitrary  objects. </p>
<p>The Animate superclass provides common  functionality used by the new effects, including the ability to target  arbitrary objects and types. Animate allows you to create, manipulate and play  animated effects using the underlying Animation subclass. The Animation class  contains the functions that actually run the animations, calculating and  setting the animated values of the animated properties. We will not have time  to go into the details on the lower-level Animation class itself, but I would  encourage you to download the SDK and ASDocs for Flex 4  and see how it  works.</p>
<p>Creating and playing an effect using the  Animate class is easy: you provide a target object to be  modified, the names of the properties of the target that will be animated, and the values that the properties will use  to animate the object while the effect plays. You also have the ability to set  some optional parameters on the effect, such as the duration. After specifying the target, properties and values, use the play()  method to start playing the effect. </p>
<p>In the code example below, an animation is  applied to a button which causes it to move 100 pixels to the right when the  button is clicked:</p>
</div>
				</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_codeblock" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="parbase codeblock compbase section"><div class="PanelFillLight PanelBevelTop LayoutCell LayoutRow">
        <code class="CodeBlock">&lt;s:Animate id=&#034;mover&#034; target=&#034;{button}&#034;&gt;
    &lt;s:SimpleMotionPath property=&#034;x&#034; valueFrom=&#034;0&#034; valueTo=&#034;100&#034;/&gt;
&lt;/s:Animate&gt;
 
&lt;s:Button id=&#034;button&#034; click=&#034;mover.play()&#034;/&gt;</code>
    </div>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_1" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<p>The button will move from an x location of 0 to an x location of 100 as the              effect plays. There are other approaches to specifying the same animation, such              as using the valueBy property to specify the delta value instead of the absolute values,              or by supplying only the valueTo property—implicitly              assigning the other value from the current value of that property on the              target. </p>
            <p>In Flex 4, it is also possible to              animate several properties simultaneously by declaring several SimpleMotionPath              objects.</p>
            <p class="note"><b>Note:</b> Flex 3              developers will notice the difference here between using the Animate class in              comparison with the older AnimateProperty effect, which could only handle a              single property.</p>
            <p>To affect multiple properties at once, use              the following code snippet to animate several different properties on our              button simultaneously:</p>

  &lt;s:SimpleMotionPath property=&#034;y&#034; valueTo=&#034;100&#034;/&gt;
  &lt;s:SimpleMotionPath property=&#034;width&#034; valueBy=&#034;20&#034;/&gt;

						<p class="note"><b>Note:</b> If you've downloaded the sample files provided on the <a href="/devnet/flex/articles/flex4_effects_pt1.html">first page of this article</a>, you'll find this example in the AnimateButton application.</p>
<p>In the code example above, notice how the properties use three different ways to specify the property values.</p>
<p>There are various other properties you can use to change the behavior of an animation that uses the Animate class, such as repetition (including the new <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/gumbo/langref/spark/effects/animation/RepeatBehavior.html" target="_blank">RepeatBehavior</a> flag, which allows you to automatically reverse effects with each repetition, unlike the previous looping behavior in Flex 3).</p>
<p>You can also supply different easing behaviors to create more realistic motion, and use different type interpolation for non-numeric types. A discussion of these is outside the scope of this article, but look for future blogs and articles that cover these topics.</p>
<p>At this point we've just scratched the surface, because there are so many Flex 4 effects to describe. In the next section, I'll cover the process for using basic effects in Flex 4.</p>

        Using basic effects</h3>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_3" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<p>The code examples provided in the previous  section show that it is fairly straightforward to specify arbitrary property  names to the Animate effect. When you play the effect, an animation is run which  changes the properties of the target object over time. </p>
<p>However, you will typically want to set up a  specific type of animation using some standard properties. Or perhaps you want  to use an effect which has built-in logic to take into account other  considerations—such as the visibility of the target objects or the fact that  the target object is positioned with layout constraints in its container. For  this reason, Flex 4  includes several subclasses of the Animate class  to handle the majority of effects that will be used most frequently. These  effect classes make it easy to specify the desired behavior, and then the  effects themselves perform the necessary functionality of wrapping up the  properties for the Animate class and performing any other related functionality  to get the job done. Of course, you can always use the Animate class directly,  and you can also create custom effects that subclass Animate and build on the  capabilities of that class. But in most cases, you'll probably find it easier  to just use one of these subclasses to add a basic effect. You can think of  these subclass effects as wrappers around the Animate class, exposing specific  properties and then packaging up the values in an Animate-friendly way. </p>
<p>For example, the Move effect, which we will  see more of later, allows you to specify location values that you are animating  from, to, and by, and then it creates the underlying SimpleMotionPath objects  that the Animate class expects in order to apply the animations on the target  object's x and y properties. </p>
<p>In this example, a Move effect is used to  perform the same button animation shown in the previous section of this  article:</p>
</div>
				</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_codeblock_1" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="parbase codeblock compbase section"><div class="PanelFillLight PanelBevelTop LayoutCell LayoutRow">
        <code class="CodeBlock">&lt;s:Move id=&#034;mover&#034; target=&#034;{button}&#034; xTo=&#034;100&#034; yTo=&#034;200&#034;/&gt;</code>
    </div>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_4" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						 <p> As you can see, the code that you have to write to move the button can be much              more compact when an effect can make assumptions about what you want to              animate. This means you don't have to provide all of the details as you do when              you are creating a raw animation using the Animate class. </p>
            <p>In this case, the Move subclass assumes that              you want to animate x and y, so you don't need to set up SimpleMotionPath objects to supply              those details. These effects can handle other situations automatically, so that              you don't have to. For example, the Move effect and the Resize effect allow you              to optionally animate layout constraints on the target object, making it easier              to animate objects which are being positioned by constraints.</p>
            <p>There are several of these fundamental              effects in Flex 4  which will probably constitute most of the              effects that you'll need and use on a regular basis. They include the Move              effect (shown above), as well as the Resize, Scale, Rotate, Fade, and              AnimateColor effects. Let's take a look at how these effects work.</p>
</div>
				</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_numberedheader_3" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="parbase compbase numberedheader section"><h3 class="TextH3 LayoutCellSides LayoutRow">
        <a id="articlecontentAdobe_numberedheader_3"></a>
        Resize effect</h3>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_5" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<p>The Resize effect is a simple wrapper around the Animate class that has from/to/by properties for both width and height. You use the effect in the same way shown for the Move effect example above. Basically, you just need to specify the values for the properties in order to set up the animation.</p>
<p>This code example will change the width of the button to 100 and the height to 50:</p>
</div>
				</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_codeblock_2" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="parbase codeblock compbase section"><div class="PanelFillLight PanelBevelTop LayoutCell LayoutRow">
        <code class="CodeBlock">&lt;s:Resize id=&#034;resizer&#034; widthTo=&#034;100&#034; heightTo=&#034;50&#034;/&gt;</code>
    </div>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_6" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<p>Like most of the Flex effects, the Resize effect includes some extra, built-in logic to handle other related situations. For example, if your target object is positioned with layout constraints (for example, if it is pinned to the right side of its container with right=&quot;0&quot;), then there are facilities for either disabling those constraints while the effect is playing or animating those constraints automatically as the Resize effect runs.</p>
</div>
				</div>

        Transform effects: Move, Rotate and Scale</h3>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_7" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<p>The Move, Rotate, and Scale effects are closely related because they all affect properties in the underlying transform matrix of the target object. These effects work together to ensure that they do not supply conflicting information to that matrix.</p>
<p>For example, if you Rotate an object, you are changing that object's rotation property. But the (x,y) location of that object may also change over time as a side effect. (Imagine the object rotating around its center, with its upper-left point moving while the center point stays constant). If you also want to apply a Move effect to that same object while it is rotating, the two effects work together to make sure that the object moves and rotates in a reasonable way.</p>
<p>Flex 3 users should note that this is a change from the way the Move and Rotate effects used to work; Move and Rotate used to be completely separate from each other. For the most part, they worked well, but it was possible to get artifacts when combining them because the two effects could override each others' instructions for the target object's x and y properties.</p>
<h5>Shared properties for transform effects</h5>
<p>In most circumstances, it is not necessary for you to know what is going on under the hood of the transform effects in order to use them. You can just add the code for the effects you need and the effects will work together to ensure that you get the results you expect.</p>
<p>In many cases, you'll probably only apply one of these effects at a time to a target object, so there won't be anything complicated going on behind the scenes – the subclass for the specified effect will simply change the appropriate properties over time. But in some situations, it is helpful to know that these three effects are interrelated so that you can give correct parameters to create the overall coordinated animation. In particular, the transform effects share the values of the transformation center (if specified) and repetition parameters, taking their values from the first one of these effects in a composite effect. When using any of these shared properties, it is a best practice to specify them exactly the same in all transform effects to make the code clearly reflect the changes that the effects are actually performing.</p>
<p>These are the shared properties of Move, Rotate, and Scale:</p>
</div>
				</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_8" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<ul>
              <li><b>autoCenterTransform</b>: When this flag is set to true, the effects will operate                around the center of the target object (width/2, height/2). For example, the Rotate effect will cause the object to                rotate around its center and Scale will cause the object to be scaled in                relation to its center. The Move effect will visually display the same as if                the flag were not set, but it is important to remember that you are                specifying the change in movement of the transform center point, not the                upper-left point (x=0, y=0) of the                object. This is a change from the way the older Flex 3 Move effect works –                the Flex 3 Move effect operates directly on the x and y properties of the                target object.</li>
              <li><b>transformX,                transformY</b>: When autoCenterTransform is not set, the effects will use the transform center of the                target object (transformX and transformY). But if these same properties are specified on the effect                itself, they override the values on the object. For example, by default                the transform center of a component or graphical object is the upper-left                point, or x=0, y=0. If you set the transformX property on                the effect to 50, then the center around which the transform effects will                operate will be (50, 0), using the                value from the transformX property on the effect                and—since transformY is unset on the effect,                the transformY property on the target object is used, which is 0.</li>
              <li><b>Repetition settings</b>: An important note about the repetition-related properties (repeatCount, repeatDelay, and repeatBehavior): The values that are set on the first transform effect in a                composite effect will be applied to all of the transform effects in that                overall effect. Because of this, it is generally not advisable to use                repetition settings on the transform effects. In fact, the repetition                properties have been excluded from the <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/index.html" target="_blank">ActionScript 3.0 Platform Reference</a> and code hints for these effects                because doing so can lead to rather unpredictable results. However, if you                are applying only one of the transform effects at a time, you can set                repetition properties and the animation will work as expected.</li>

						<h5>Per-effect              properties</h5>
            <p>In addition to the shared properties              described above, each of the transform effects exposes unique properties to              specify their behavior:</p>
            <ul>
              <li><b>Move</b>: As in the Flex 3 version of                the Move effect, the Flex 4 Move effect exposes xFrom, xTo, xBy, and yFrom, yTo, yBy. These properties are used                internally to calculate the change in position of the transform center                used by the effect.</li>
              <li><b>Rotate</b>: Like the Move effect, this Flex                4 effect is also similar to the Flex 3 version of the Rotate effect,                exposing the angleFrom and angleTo properties. However, the Flex 4  version adds a new                property: angleBy. These property values                result in the target object rotating by the specified angle (in degrees)                around the transform center for the effect.</li>
              <li><b>Scale</b>: This is a brand new effect                in Flex 4  that did not exist in Flex 3, although it provides                similar functionality to the Flex 3 Zoom effect. The scaleXFrom, scaleXTo, scaleXBy, scaleYFrom, scaleYTo, and scaleYBy properties                specify the change in scale factor around the transform center in the x                 and y directions. Note that this effect is quite different from the Resize                effect, which works on the width and height properties of the target. The                width and height properties specify how large the object should be with a                scale factor of 1, whereas the scale properties specify the magnification                of the object given its current width and height. The difference in the                results can be seen in resizing a button, for example, where doubling the                width and height properties using the Resize effect would cause the button                itself to become larger, but the look of the button, such as the text                label, would remain the original size. Contrast this with applying a Scale                effect on button to double its size, which would cause the text label to              be scaled along with the button.</li>
            </ul>
            <p>The example below illustrates how the              transform effects can move, rotate, and scale a button around its center.</p>

<p>In the example above, all three effects set the shared autoCenterTransform property equal to true, to ensure that they all animate around the center of the button object.</p>
<p>If you are following along with the sample files and running the demo applications, run the TransformEffects application and notice how the text in the button scales and rotates during the effect, which is a big change from Flex 3. Previously, it was necessary to embed the font for the button text in order to keep it visible during these kinds of effects. Now, with the new text capabilities in Flash Player 10, Spark components automatically ensure that the text remains visible as it animates.</p>

        Fade effect</h3>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_11" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<p>The Fade effect in Flex 4  is  extremely useful in transitions, allowing you to fade objects in and out as  they come into being or go away between states of the application. This effect  exists in Flex 3, but Flex 4 includes more logic to  automatically handle different situations of fading in your application.</p>
<p>On first inspection, working with the Fade  effect in Flex 4 is very simple: you specify the alphaFrom, alphaTo, and alphaBy properties which create an  animation on the alpha property of the target object. </p>
<p>For example, the following code snippet will  fade the button out completely from whatever its current alpha value is (usually 1):</p>
</div>
				</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_codeblock_4" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="parbase codeblock compbase section"><div class="PanelFillLight PanelBevelTop LayoutCell LayoutRow">
        <code class="CodeBlock">&lt;s:Fade target=&#034;{button}&#034; alphaTo=&#034;0&#034;/&gt;</code>
    </div>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_12" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<p> The extra logic in the Fade effect kicks in when other, related properties of              visibility are involved. When any effect is played within a state transition,              it automatically picks up the &quot;to&quot; and &quot;from&quot; values of the target object in              the states that the object is transitioning. In the case of the Fade subclass,              the effect automatically determines whether the target object changes              visibility between the states. </p>
            <p> Visibility comes in many forms. The alpha property, which              Fade acts on directly, can be used to make an object visible or invisible              (setting alpha=&quot;0&quot; results in the object being invisible). But you could also set the visible property of the object to true or false. Finally, the object can              simply exist (that is, it has a parent) in the GUI in one, both, or neither              states. In all of these cases, the Fade effect in Flex 4  will figure              out whether the object is becoming visible or invisible and will automatically              animate the object's alpha property              appropriately.</p>
            <p>In the following example,  states and              transitions have been set up.</p>

            <p>The states block in the              code above is very simple; it just declares all of the states that will be used              later in state-specific properties of the objects. The transitions block says that no matter what states the objects are transitioning              from and to, apply the Fade effect to buttons 0, 1, and 2. </p>
            <p>Now let's examine how the buttons are              declared. In this step, each button has a label indicating its different method              of toggling its visibility between the states:</p>

						<p>If you are following along with the sample              files, run the application named AutoFade. Click the Toggle State button to              toggle the current state, and you'll see all three buttons fade in and out              between the states. The first button fades out when going to state2 and the              other two buttons fade in. When you click the Toggle State button again (going              to state1), the first button fades out and the other two buttons fade in.</p>
            <p>This example demonstrates that while Fade              effect animates only the value of alpha over time, it              derives the values for that animation from several properties which determine              the visibility of the target object. This is a small demonstration of how              effects in Flex 4  do more than simply animate named properties—they              also make it easier for you to do what you need to do get achieve a polished              look and feel for your application.</p>

        AnimateColor effect</h3>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_16" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<p>The new AnimateColor effect  in Flex 4    makes it very easy to animate the color of a target object. By default,  the AnimateColor effect will animate the property named &quot;color&quot; on  the target object by linearly interpolating each of the red, green, and blue  channels separately in RGB color space. However, both of these default  behaviors can be changed: you can specify a different property name to be  animated, (in situations where the color property you want to animate is not  called &quot;color&quot;), and you can also specify a different way to  interpolate the color other than using the default linear RGB method.</p>
<p>Using the AnimateColor effect is very simple:  you specify the colorFrom and colorTo values that you want to animate. As with other effects in Flex 4, the AnimateColor effect will automatically pick up one or both of  these values from either the current value of the target or the state values  when running in a transition. When the effect is played, it automatically uses  the interpolator named RGBInterpolator to handle  interpolating the animated RGB values; you can tell the effect to use your own  custom interpolator or the built-in HSBInterpolator,  which interpolates colors in the HSB (Hue, Saturation, and Brightness) space  instead.</p>
<p>Suppose you wish to change the look of an  object to indicate that the user has pressed the mouse down on the object. This  example uses an ellipse for the object, filled with a simple radial gradient.  The ellipse is placed inside a Group object in order to detect mouse down/up  user events and change the state accordingly.</p>

						<p class="note"><b>Note:</b> If              you've downloaded the sample files provided on the <a href="/devnet/flex/articles/flex4_effects_pt1.html">first page of this article</a>, you'll find              this example in the AnimatedGradient application.</p>
            <p>If you run the AnimatedGradient application,              you'll see that in the default state (state1) the center of the ellipse is              brighter, giving it a 3D-ish look. When you press the mouse down on the ellipse              (state2), the center becomes darker to give it a slightly depressed look and              provides users with interactive feedback based on their mouse actions. </p>
            <p>The next part involves creating a transition              effect to animate the center gradient color between its values in state1 and              state2, like this:</p>
</div>

<a name="articlecontentAdobe_codeblock_9" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="parbase codeblock compbase section"><div class="PanelFillLight PanelBevelTop LayoutCell LayoutRow">

    </div>
</div>
<a name="articlecontentAdobe_text_18" style="visibility:hidden"></a><div class="text parbase section"><div class="Semantic LayoutCellSides LayoutBreakAfter TextMedium TextBreak">
						<p>This effect will animate the  &quot;color&quot; property of that center gradient entry              between the two colors defined in the state information over a period of 150              milliseconds. (You may notice that the AnimateColor effect uses a faster              animation time than the default 500 milliseconds, because otherwise this effect              would appear to be too slow and unresponsive). </p>
            <p>Besides being an interesting and creative              effect to use, this example of working with the AnimateColor effect also              provides a good demonstration of the new capability of effects in Flex 4  in general. Previous versions of Flex effects only operated on numbers,              but effects in Flex 4  allow you to animate arbitrary property types.              In this particular example, the type of the colors is still a Number (because              colors are represented as 32-bit unsigned integers). But the values are not              interpolated as a number, but rather as three separate numbers from the              object's component red, green, and blue channels. After you become familiar              with AnimateColor, try adding a custom interpolator for your own custom types.</p>
