Using Tween Class in Flash AS3

Using Tween Class, we can animate, fade or move any specific movieclip to animate over a specified period of time.

 import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

var myTweenX:Tween=new Tween(_mc,"x",Elastic.easeOut,36,260,3,true);

We can use different Easing mechanisms to perform this animation. We have following differnet Easing methods:

• Back : the animation will go beyond the end position before bouncing back into it
• Bounce: the animation will bounce back a few steps when it reaches the end position before settling at it
• Elastic: a mixture of Bounce and Back effects combined
• None: no special tweening, the object movement will not speed up along the path
• Regular: the animation will gradually increase or decrease in speed as specified by the easing method
• Strong: a more emphasised Regular effect
