Go Video Tutorial #2: Write a Fuse-like Sequence parser in minutes

Now that you can build a tween over Go (outlined in the 1st video tutorial), find out how with just a few lines of code you can parse a generic object into a tween, then build a sequence parser that supports parallel-tween action Arrays just like in Fuse Kit! At the end of this video we’ll add sophisticated custom-advance features that let you specify exactly when a sequence advances forward. (Fuse had a couple custom-advance options; Go ships with 4 plus makes it easy for you to create new ones, so in some ways this basic parser is already ahead of Fuse!)

Having written Fuse myself I have to say that the simplicity of this system is pretty shocking. I can’t tell you how happy I am to open up this kind of functionality for you to be able to work with directly instead of just being stuck with the API’s others create for you.

  1. [...] Edit 01: The second video tutorial is available now: #2 Build a Fuse-like Tween & Sequence Parser in Minutes . [...]

  2. You’re tutorials are too advanced. Is there a step by step of how to get the GoTester to work? I need to know where to place the source files and how to use them.

    Before the Fuse just went in my Actionscript folder and I wrote my calls from the main timeline, very easy.

    This is extremely complex and the average user can’t take advantage of this technology without an easy step by step this is how you implement GO with Flash.

  3. Yeah, Go is intended for an audience who would *create* animation tools. The beauty of it though is that you’re not expected to do that if you aren’t that person, instead you can follow the project by finding out about tools people are creating with Go that you can use, like HydroTween by Donovan Adams which works a whole lot like Fuse. There are links his blog and he posts his code at the Go Playground googlecode site, so please continue to explore and I think you’ll start finding a lot of stuff you can use! Good luck! :)

  4. and you got antipop consortium track there too, lol, I have been looking for as3 sequencer alternative to fuse and seems like i finally found it grat stuff!
