Question

Replace Tweener?

Hi all:

After a couple years of not working w/Flash, I'm starting a new project and I see that Tweener is no longer supported.  I've found TweenLite/TweenMax.  Is that a good alternative or are there other recommendations?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, that is one of the best alternatives, the syntax is also similar to Tweener. But, you will barely notice any difference in performance while using basic tweens (TweenLite/Max will most probably perform better in 'extreme' tweening). You may also need to buy a license depending on the project but you can use it for free in commercial one-time fee projects. Even though Tweener is no longer updated, I would say you cannot go wrong using it but there are newer tween engines (TweenLite, BetweenAS3...) so I think we should use those

Agreed.  At any given point, I like to use current technology, so I'm going to give TweenMax a try.

Thanks much.

Edit: I see that Greenstock has updated their tweening engine so it can be used to write JScript also:

On devices use TweenLite. There's been almost absolutely no reason II could ever find to go beyond it. Greensock is your friend. Use it. Appreciate it. I used it in hundreds of projects.
