Tweener Class for Flash
Tweener who you say? Well I gotta tell ya after getting this new job I am doing more Flash work than ever before! I do remember quite clearly letting them know I am not in any way a Flash programmer, and their response was, "Don't worry, we'll show you."
Well a 15 minute quick review shadowing a fellow designer at the corporate office while there for 2 weeks, was simply not enough for me. I am left to my own smarts and a FLA file he made on the fly to help me with the code. It's just how to get started that has had me in a quandary.
In short, instead of using the timeline and Flash's built in Tween class, Tweener is another class onto itself. It makes things so easy and if you want something to move across the screen, rotate while doing that and stop at a specific spot and then ease back like on an elastic band, Tweener is your new friend. You tell it what, when and where and it does it for you - without you having to know Action Script language and other back end Flash code. Simplistic and a God send.
All documentation, files etc. can be found by clicking on the above Tweener image! These are the guys who created this wonderful script: Zeh Fernando (Project Owner), Nate Chatellier (Project Member), and Arthur Debert (Project Member). I found the initial documentation a little vague and just needed a in-my-face tutorial to get me to visualize the way to initiate it. Here are two sites I found to help me with this:
Have fun, pass it on and be well. I need to get back to work!
