Hi.

Is there any known reason why imagevue can't play ZigoEngine tweens?

SWF embeded into imagevue:
http://www.phillip.com.pl/#/content/mosessupposes/

SWF standalone:
http://www.phillip.com.pl/content/moses ... eneral.swf

And used this occasion - bothering me question: any plans for migration into AS3?

Thanks,
Artur.

We already use Fuse in Imagevue, and this is most likely why your standalone code doesn't work -

import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
FuseFMP.simpleSetup();

Try to export your SWF without importing the fuse class ... maybe it will work then, since its already in Imagevue.

I don't think migration to AS3.0 is of the highest priority currently ...

Can't get it works, with or without importing ZigoEngine class...

How are you running the Fuse functions? I believe we had them like this:

//FuseFMP.writeFilter(this, "Bevel");
//FuseFMP.setFilterProp(this, "Bevel_blur", 0, "Bevel_strength", 100, "Bevel_quality", "high", "Bevel_shadow", 0xFFFFFF, "Bevel_highlight", 0xFFFFFF, "Bevel_angle", 0, "Bevel_distance", 3, "Bevel_type", "outer");

Ok, this I managed:
FuseFMP filters (just default, without setFilterProp):

//com.mosesSupposes.fuse.FuseFMP.simpleSetup();

my_mc.writeFilter('Bevel');

All I did was comment line with simpleSetup.

But, what about ZingoEngine tweens?
I've tried in same way like with FuseFMP (without sempleSetup) and no lucky. Example:

//import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
//ZigoEngine.simpleSetup(Shortcuts,PennerEasing);
my_mc.onRollOver = function(){
      ZigoEngine.doTween(this, "_brightness", 0, 0.3, "linear");
}

Maybe there is not necessary to think about this everything...
Just I want to know whether ZingoEngine will run with imagevue faster than TweenLite and Caurina-Tweener, because I see that tweens in my imagevue swf modules are slower than imagevue tweens... Maybe it's because of using different tween engines in one app (iamgevue-ZingoEnine + My modules-caurina)?
I've tried TweenLite (apparently fastest tween enine - > Tweening speed test), but the results - I think - were the worst...

Faster as in using less CPU, or simply run faster? These tween engines run on actionscript time intervals, so it shouldn't make any different what source it was running from ... The only difference would be if the parent SWF is already running some operations which require CPU processing, and may slow down a simultaneous custom tween.

Our Imagevue tweens are just set to run "fast", eg. run over a short time period just because we think this provides the best interactive response. Additionally, is there a setting in these tween engines to set the rate/framerate? Tweens in Imagevue run at the framerate of the main project, so may appear to be very fast ...

I'm 100% agree - currently this flash gallery is best I've ever seen and as far as it's in AS2 - in my opinion - there is not so much to improve (not counting realy small issues). I don't expect that new 2.8 version will contain some incredible improvements in this case. But what about v2.9 then? (only please, don't tell me that after one year flash will be dead because of the HTML5 and CSS3

)...
I hope that you does not rule migration into AS3 at all

I was about FPS (frames per second),
Eg.: Imagevue menu: there can be hundreds of instances in the menu but still open/close menu tween is very smooth.
When I'm tweening only few mc's in same time, tween begin jumping (when swf is embeded in imagevue).
