Swap transition problem

I have created a test project to experiment on the swap mode.

What is wrong with the following code? At runtime there appears a FLASHEFF2 ERROR: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property _swapTransitionStartCommands not found on FlashEff2Flex and there is no default value.

				myEffect.swapType = FlashEff2.SWAP_TYPE_HIDE_AND_SHOW;
				
				this.addElement(myEffect);
				myEffect.target = g1;
				myEffect.swapTarget = g2;
			}

Instead of myEffect = new FlashEff2Flex(), try this myEffect = new FlashEff2() and see if do the trick.

Yes, FlashEff2 will work since it is a dynamic class and FlashEff2Flex is not. But FlashEff2 will not initialize needed assets. But i was able to overcome this problem by declaring my derived class as dynamic.

Calling swap() multiple times first results for me in a FLASHEFF2 ERROR: The swapTarget property is null, a hide transition will be applied. It seems swapTarget is reset after calls to swap() and is not swapped with target.

A solution in my opinion might be:

		override public function swap(newTarget:DisplayObject = null, swType:String = ""):void 
		{
			if (newTarget == null && this.swapTarget == null)
			{
				newTarget = this.crossSwapTarget;
			}
			
			super.swap(newTarget, swType);
		}
		
		private function effectStarting(e:FLASHEFFEvents):void 
		{
			if (this.currentTransitionType == "swap")
			{
				this.crossSwapTarget = this.target;
			}
		}

Thank you for posting the solution here.

What is the proper way to swap an element if the swap transition is currently playing? I think i should force an immediate end of the running swap transition and start a new swap transition.

At the moment if the user clicks faster than the transition is playing the error occurs:

RangeError: RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.
	at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChildAt()
	at FlashEff2/addSwapFlashEff2()
	at FlashEff2/transitionEffect()
	at FlashEff2/hide()
	at FlashEff2/swap()

Try to call removeEffect method before calling the swap method.

removeEffect() does not solve the problem. I think when the swap transition is completing some needed code is executed that is not executed, if i call removeEffect(). Another thing to note is, that i swap only from one element to a second element and vice versa.

Open a ticket [www.jumpeyecomponents.com] and send us the source and we will take a look at the problem

I am still getting the same error.
I am really stuck in slideshow.
Please share the complete code .
