WipeUp

(Preview)

Package	mx.effects
Class	public class WipeUp
Inheritance	WipeUp MaskEffect Effect EventDispatcher Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Starting with Flex 4.0, Adobe recommends that you use the spark.effects.Wipe class as an alternative to this class.

The direction-specific Wipe effects in Flex 3 have been replaced by a more generic Wipe effect that takes a generic direction. To get similar behavior from the new Wipe effect, set the direction parameter appropriately.

The WipeUp class defines a wipe up effect. The before or after state of the component must be invisible.

You often use this effect with the showEffect and hideEffect triggers. The showEffect trigger occurs when a component becomes visible by changing its visible property from false to true. The hideEffect trigger occurs when the component becomes invisible by changing its visible property from true to false.

This effect inherits the MaskEffect.show property. If you set the value to true, the component appears. If you set the value to false, the component disappears. The default value is true.

If you specify this effect for a showEffect or hideEffect trigger, Flex sets the show property for you, either to true if the component becomes invisible, or false if the component becomes visible.

	Property		Defined By
		applyTransitionEndProperties : Boolean This flag controls whether the effect, when run in a transition, automatically applies the property values according to the end state, as opposed to leaving values as set by the effect itself.	Effect
		endValuesCaptured : Boolean = false A flag containing true if the end values of an effect have already been determined, or false if they should be acquired from the current properties of the effect targets when the effect runs.	Effect
