Lets first talk about it’s been two months and it’s not been implemented. First, there will be no further additions to Storyboard. Any future development will happen on Composer. The source code is open sourced at:
Feel free to download it and add any special needs to it that you wish.
Now for Composer, it is the current scene manager, and we are willing to add features to it that the community feels is important. The way to get this on Engineering’s radar is to file a feature request at http://feedback.coronalabs.com and get people to vote on it.
My bad. Thank you for the source code. As for the feature request, since it’s such a niche feature I don’t think too many will spend enough votes to make the feature visible in the feature request. Would be great if you guys could just add it as a default animation to Composer for any future users who will need it since it’s such a small addition but does so much for people who use the fromX animations.
Thanks again for the source code though, that solves our problem
Sorry for the delayed response. We decided to abandon the features requiring this animation before, but are now working on a new app that will require it again and it has been 2 months without this being implemented so I’m guessing you guys are not even considering it right now.
Sure, you CAN use the fromBottom/fromTop combination, but it wont make any sense! If you animate a scene in fromBottom, it comes in as an overlay on top of the previous scene. The ONLY logical way to animate this scene away is to animate it back down from where it came while the previous scene remains where it was. Using fromBottom / fromTop as a combination just doesn’t make sense visually.
It shouldn’t have to take this long to convince you guys about why this animation is key. One does not work without the other. Just take a look at the animations for entering/leaving the pages for composing a new email in the iOS email app, or the Safari bookmarks. It took us 1 minute to add this essential animation to Director, is it really THAT time consuming to just add it to Storyboard and Composer as well?

Is this effect coming to Composer any time soon? It literally took us 10 seconds to implement it to Storyboard and since it’s such a fundamental animation in conjunction with the “fromTop/Bottom” effects, we can’t see any reason why it’s not included as one of the default animations in Composer? Would be great if it could be included asap.
then apply as appropriate for whatever transition you’re looking for.
much of the “guts” of composer’s transitions continue to work exactly as storyboard did, so whatever you learned specifying the transition for storyboard is probably directly usable as is w composer
