GlowInstance

Package | mx.effects.effectClasses
Class | public class GlowInstance
Inheritance | GlowInstance TweenEffectInstance EffectInstance flash.events.EventDispatcher

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The GlowInstance class implements the instance class for the Glow effect. Flex creates an instance of this class when it plays a Glow 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 Glow effect, the `TweenEvent.value` property contains a 4-item Array, where:

- value[0]:uint The value of the target's `GlowFilter.color` property.
- value[1]:Number A value between the values of the `Glow.alphaFrom` and `Glow.alphaTo` property.
- value[2]:Number A value between the values of the `Glow.blurXFrom` and `Glow.blurXTo` property.
- value[3]:Number A value between the values of the `Glow.blurYFrom` and `Glow.blurYTo` property.
