it would be easier to use the onMotionChanged method (as2) or the motionChange event (as3) if you’re using the flash tween class. (or your onUpdate function if you use tweenlite.)

var,

Thanks for sharing that! I hadn’t heard of TweenLite, but it looks great (at least, for AS2 projects).

In my opinion the native Tween class, even in actionscript three… just sucks… i had some bugs with it, that i could never solve in a shooting game I was making… and i switched it all over to TweenLite - and it worked perfect… I asked a few Uber nerds about it, and they just said ‘avoid it like the plague’…

other than that… awesome… i love the multiple examples..

thanks agian

In the AS3 example:

gotoAndStop(Math.floor(evt.prop));

needs to be

gotoAndStop(Math.floor(Number(evt.prop)));

Or you’ll get a nasty compiler error Otherwise, looks good, I’ll have to try this out!

Thanks Dave. Not really had chance to take a proper look at this yet.
