This code instantiates an object of the Parallel class and adds the three effects as children of that object. Then the code calls the play method on the Parallel object. This causes all three effects to play simultaneously.
Reset the counter
Finally, Listing 15 resets the value of the effect counter back to 0 so that the sequence will begin anew the next time the event handler for the show event is executed.
Play the same effect on multiple targets simultaneously
You can play the same effect on multiple targets simultaneously by setting the targets property on the effect object instead of the target object. The targets property requires an array containing references to the target objects.
Three steps are required
The following steps are required to play an effect in the Flash Player using this approach.
To play multiple effects in parallel or in sequence
Note that you can also add Sequence objects to Parallel objects and vice versa. Just make certain that you don't try to play two instancesof the same effect on the same object at the same time.
The end of the program
Listing 15 also signals the end of the Driver class and the end of the program.
I encourage you to run these two programs from the web. Then copythe code from Listing 16 through Listing 18. Use that code to create Flex projects. Compile and run the projects.Experiment with the code, making changes, and observing the results of your changes. Make certain that you can explain why your changes behave as theydo.
I will publish a list containing links to ActionScript resources as a separate document. Search for ActionScript Resources in the Connexions search box.
Complete listings of the MXML and ActionScript files are provided in Listing 16 through Listing 18 below.
