mx.effects.effectClasses.ZoomInstance - Adobe® Flex® 4 Language Reference (Flex 4)

Package	mx.effects.effectClasses
Class	public class ZoomInstance
Inheritance	ZoomInstance TweenEffectInstance EffectInstance EventDispatcher Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The ZoomInstance class implements the instance class for the Zoom effect. Flex creates an instance of this class when it plays a Zoom 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 Zoom effect, the TweenEvent.value property contains a 2-item Array, where:

value[0]:Number A value between the values of the Zoom.zoomWidthFrom and Zoom.zoomWidthTo property.
value[1]:Number A value between the values of the Zoom.zoomHeightFrom and Zoom.zoomHeightTo property.
