The Wipe effect performs a bitmap transition effect by running a directional wipe between the first and second bitmaps. This wipe exposes the second bitmap over the course of the animation in a direction indicated by the
direction
property.
A pixel-shader program loaded by the effect
runs the underlying bitmap effect.
If you want to use
a different Wipe behavior, you can specify a custom pixel-shader program.
The pixel-shader program must adhere to the constraints
specified for the shaderByteCode
property of AnimateTransitionShader class, and supply three additional
parameters.
The extra parameters required by the Wipe shader
are:
- An int
directionparameter, whose value means the same as the related String property in the Wipe class. - Two floating point parameters:
imageWidthandimageHeight.
All of these parameters are set on the shader when the effect starts playing, so the parameters need to exist and do something appropriate in order for the effect to function correctly.

when starting the effect. | Effect | |
| instanceClass : Class
An object of type Class that specifies the effect
instance class class for this effect class. | Effect | |
| interpolator : IInterpolator
The interpolator used by this effect to calculate values between
the start and end values of a property. | Animate | |

A read-only flag which is true if any instances of the effect
are currently playing, and false if none are. | Effect | |
| motionPaths : Vector.<MotionPath>

Public Methods

|---|---|---|---|
Constructor. | Wipe | ||
| addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int = 0, useWeakReference:Boolean = false):void
Registers an event listener object with an EventDispatcher object so that the listener
receives notification of an event. | EventDispatcher | |
|
Captures the current values of the relevant properties
on the effect's targets and saves them as end values. | Effect | |
|
Captures the current values of the relevant properties
of an additional set of targets
Flex uses this function when a data change
effect is run.
| Effect | |
|
Captures the current values of the relevant properties
on the effect's targets. | Effect | |
|
Creates a single effect instance and initializes it. | Effect | |
|
Takes an Array of target objects and invokes the
createInstance() method on each target. | Effect | |
|
Removes event listeners from an instance
and removes it from the list of instances. | Effect | |
|
Dispatches an event into the event flow. | EventDispatcher | |
|
Interrupts an effect that is currently playing,
and jumps immediately to the end of the effect. | Effect | |
|
Returns an Array of Strings, where each String is the name
of a property changed by this effect. | Effect | |
|
Checks whether the EventDispatcher object has any listeners registered for a specific type
of event. | EventDispatcher | |
|
Indicates whether an object has a specified property defined. | Object | |
|
Indicates whether an instance of the Object class is in the prototype chain of the object specified
as the parameter. | Object | |
|
Pauses the effect until you call the resume() method. | Effect | |
|
Begins playing the effect. | Effect | |
|
Indicates whether the specified property exists and is enumerable. | Object | |
|
Removes a listener from the EventDispatcher object. | EventDispatcher | |
|
Resumes the effect after it has been paused
by a call to the pause() method. | Effect | |
|
Plays the effect in reverse, if the effect is currently playing,
starting from the current position of the effect. | Effect | |
|
Sets the availability of a dynamic property for loop operations. | Object | |
|
Stops the effect, leaving the effect targets in their current state. | Effect | |
|
Returns the string representation of this object, formatted according to locale-specific conventions. | Object | |
|
Returns the string representation of the specified object. | Object | |
|
Returns the primitive value of the specified object. | Object | |
|
Checks whether an event listener is registered with this EventDispatcher object or any of
its ancestors for the specified event type. | EventDispatcher | |
