How to cancel a transition?

Hi folks,

I don’t know what parameter I have to put into transition.cancel. The help file says a tween. Where do I retrieve this?

Hi, Michael. You should put in the name of the transition that you declared. For example, if you had done this:

local myTween = transition.to( rect, { time=1000, alpha=0 } )

…then you would use

transition.cancel( myTween )
to cancel it. In other words, the tween name is returned by the initial “transition.to” function. [import]uid: 3007 topic_id: 740 reply_id: 1481[/import]

Thanks Evan for the explaination,

maybe you guys can enhance the help file more clearly about this by adding this little example.
