Tween to another frame?

Ok, I ran into a problem with tweening from one frame to another. It is hard to explain, but I'm gonna try . I have a class Main.as. In it I put my stuff on the Stage via addChild() method. Now I want to have another empty Stage at frame 25 where I can put different things on it. And I would like to tween from frame 1 to 25. Is that possible? I have read the class definition for Tween and it always needs an object to tween. Do I have to wrap everything on frame 1 into a sprite and on fram 25 into another sprite?

I hope someone understands my explanation

Thanks

Something like a fade-out and fade-in or a cross-fade . I dont know, if I get performance issues if I add 4 Sprites as containers for the pages to the stage and then add my objects to the Sprites and then tween the Sprites depending on what I want to display on the Stage.

Something what is also in my mind is, there is Actions-Frame and there is Class definition, what is the difference between those? Because I can only have one class assigned, but I can have for each frame different actions? In Objective-C I used a class to either create instances of that class or to have a reference to it.


add a parent movieclip to the stage in Main and add everything else to that parent (using addChild, for example).  then when you're ready to display the next page, you can fade-out that parent.  at the end of the fade remove the parent and null it (if it's never needed again).

you create another parent for your page 2 display, assign its alpha to zero, add the page 2 assets to that parent and fade it in while the page 1 parent is fading out.  that will give you a cross fade.

you should rethink your setup.

if you want to tween objects created in Main into something else either add objects that have a timeline tween or tween the objects with actionscript.

Ok, so does meaning tween with actionscript, that I have to tween every object I have created in frame 1? The objects I did add to the Stage are MovieClip Symbols. Ok, some further explanation, maybe it helps to understand . Imagine the SWF is a book, frame 1 = page 1 and so on, so on each frame/page is different content, and all I want to do is to have a smooth transition from frame/page 1 to frame/page 2 or frame/page 4. If that is possible, then my next question is, do I still have access to the content on other frames/pages from within the Main.as and how do I add content to for example frame/page2, I thought there is only one Stage object or is the Stage object from frame 1 another than from fram 2?

what do you envision as a "smooth transition from page 1 to page 2?
