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

The Spark effects provided as of Flex 4 use classes which implement the IEaser interface instead of the easing functions in classes like Cubic for the earlier Flex 3 effects. To achieve the same functionality of Cubic, create a Power instance with an exponent of 3 and set the easeInFraction appropriately to get the desired result.


The Cubic class defines three easing functions to implement motion with Flex effect classes. The acceleration of motion for a Cubic easing equation is greater than for a Quadratic easing equation. For more information, see http://www.robertpenner.com/profmx.

Method Detail

easeIn

()method
public static function easeIn(t:Number, b:Number, c:Number, d:Number):Number

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The easeIn() method starts motion from zero velocity, and then accelerates motion as it executes.

Parameters

t:Number — Specifies time.
 
b:Number — Specifies the initial position of a component.
 
c:Number — Specifies the total change in position of the component.
 
d:Number — Specifies the duration of the effect, in milliseconds.

Returns
Number — Number corresponding to the position of the component.

easeInOut

()method 
public static function easeInOut(t:Number, b:Number, c:Number, d:Number):Number

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The easeInOut() method combines the motion of the easeIn() and easeOut() methods to start the motion from zero velocity, accelerates motion, then decelerates back to a zero velocity.

Parameters

t:Number — Specifies time.
 
b:Number — Specifies the initial position of a component.
 
c:Number — Specifies the total change in position of the component.
 
d:Number — Specifies the duration of the effect, in milliseconds.

Returns
Number — Number corresponding to the position of the component.

easeOut

()method 
public static function easeOut(t:Number, b:Number, c:Number, d:Number):Number

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The easeOut() method starts motion fast, and then decelerates motion to a zero velocity as it executes.

Parameters

t:Number — Specifies time.
 
b:Number — Specifies the initial position of a component.
 
c:Number — Specifies the total change in position of the component.
 
d:Number — Specifies the duration of the effect, in milliseconds.

Returns
Number — Number corresponding to the position of the component.
