While this combination of multiple transform effects happens internally, it does force certain constraints that should be considered:
transformCenter for the target object is
globally applied to all transform effects on that target, so it
should be set to the same value on all targets.An additional constraint of this effect and its subclasses is that
the target must be of type UIComponent or GraphicElement (or a subclass
of those classes), or any other object which has similarly
defined and implemented transformAround() and
transformPointToParent() functions.
This effect is not intended to be used directly, but rather exposes common functionality used by its subclasses. To use transform effects, use the subclass effects (Move, Move3D, Scale, Scale3D, Rotate, and Rotate3D).

| Method | Defined By | ||
|---|---|---|---|
AnimateTransform(target:Object = null)
Constructor. | AnimateTransform | ||
| captureEndValues():void
Captures the current values of the relevant properties
on the effect's targets and saves them as end values. | Effect | |
| captureMoreStartValues(targets:Array):void
Captures the current values of the relevant properties
of an additional set of targets
Flex uses this function when a data change
effect is run.
| Effect | |
| captureStartValues():void
Captures the current values of the relevant properties
on the effect's targets. | Effect | |
| createInstance(target:Object = null):IEffectInstance
Creates a single effect instance and initializes it. | Effect | |
| createInstances(targets:Array = null):Array
Takes an Array of target objects and invokes the
createInstance() method on each target. | Effect | |
| deleteInstance(instance:IEffectInstance):void
Removes event listeners from an instance
and removes it from the list of instances. | Effect | |
| end(effectInstance:IEffectInstance = null):void
Interrupts an effect that is currently playing,
and jumps immediately to the end of the effect. | Effect | |
| getAffectedProperties():Array
Returns an Array of Strings, where each String is the name
of a property changed by this effect. | Effect | |

| play(targets:Array = null, playReversedFromEnd:Boolean = false):Array
Begins playing the effect. | Effect | |
| resume():void
Resumes the effect after it has been paused

| applyChangesPostLayout | property |
applyChangesPostLayout:Boolean| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Subclasses of AnimateTransform use this flag to specify whether the effect changes transform values used by the layout manager, or whether it changes values used after layout is run.
The default value is false.
public function get applyChangesPostLayout():Boolean public function set applyChangesPostLayout(value:Boolean):void| autoCenterTransform | property |
public var autoCenterTransform:Boolean = false| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Specifies whether the transform effect occurs
around the center of the target, (width/2, height/2)
when the effect begins playing.
If the flag is not set, the transform center is determined by
the transform center of the object (transformX, transformY,
transformZ) and the transformX, transformY,
transformZ properties in this effect. That is, the
transform center is the transform center of the target object,
where any of the transformX, transformY,
transformZ properties are overridden by those
values in the effect, if set.
The default value is false.

| transformX | property |
public var transformX:Number| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Sets the x coordinate for the transform center, unless overridden
by the autoCenterTransform property.
If autoCenterTransform is false, the transform
center is determined by the transformX,
transformY, and transformZ properties
of the target object, but each of those properties can be
overridden by setting the respective properties in this effect.

| transformY | property |
public var transformY:Number| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version : | Flex 4 |
| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5 |
Sets the y coordinate for the transform center, unless overridden

If autoCenterTransform is false, the transform
center is determined by the transformX,
transformY, and transformZ properties
of the target object, but each of those properties can be

Sets the z coordinate for the transform center, unless overridden
by the autoCenterTransform property.
If autoCenterTransform is false, the transform
center is determined by the transformX,
transformY, and transformZ properties
of the target object, but each of those properties can be
