I have a map element that I want slide on/off.

I have a map, there's a handle attached to the map. The handle is a child of the map. I set an action on the handle to "Toggle element position" of the map -200.0/0.0. This works in Flash. But in HTML5 this doesn't work at all in an iPad or just in my Safari browser.

I then changed it to -200/0 (having read somewhere that Javascript deals with decimal points strangely) and it works in my Safari browser, but there's a major delay (.5 to .75 seconds) from when I click on the handle to when the map starts moving.

Even stranger...when I test this on an iPad the map first SCALES down to nothing, and then tweens up in size and also tweens to -200/0 !!! On subsequent presses of the handle, the map behaves accordingly, i.e. it slides on/off screens nicely. (one good thing is that, in general, there's no delay between button press and when the map starts moving).

I've added a 'hack'. I've added a "Set Element Scale" to 1.0 for the OnClick event so the scale tween doesn't happen. This works.
Now the element just pops on an off the screen, no tweening.

Hi
I have tried to reproduce this and can not.
For me the map image slides in and out with the toggle position action, however I am seeing a slight delay.
I do not see any scaling, just the on and off screen slide, tested with I Pod touch 4th gen and I Pad. Having said that, someone else has had this problem, Issue #129
If this persists please post your skin so I can have a look,
kind regards
Hopki
