MC Tween: it saves the world.™

MC Tween is a free library of prototypes that can be used on Flash MX and above (with both AS1 and AS2) to create property tweenings dinamically using several different easing equations - in practical words, creating easing animations via simple and small coding. Also called a tweening extension, MC Tween is just a bunch of actionscript code you can add to your Flash movies via a #include command. You will then have several "new" MovieClip, TextField and Sound methods and functions at your hand.

Yeah we use it alot at my office, but as a class based coder, the old prototype model causes some problems at times. At times it just stops working! Then we get stuck using the Macromedia er...Adobe tween classes. It would be nice if it was a singleton or static class used like:

Singleton:
MCTween.getInstance().tweenTo(myMovieClip, [rest of tween parameters including a callback, etc]);

Static:
MCTween.tweenTo(myMovieClip, [rest of tween parameters including a callback, etc]);

So the only difference is that rather than it being a prototype of the MovieClip class it's it's own class and you include the MovieClip as a parameter.

Yee Haw!

Brent,
Thanks for the post. As sad as it is, I am just now learning the power of the MC Tween™. How did you find my site?
