Using Tweener for Scripted Animations

Andrew Trice

Whenever adding effects to Flex applications, I usually user the built-in Flex effects. They work with most flex components, are consistent, and are reliable. However, in cases where you want your application to be very expressive, they don't always act like you want them to. In those cases, I use Tweener, an animation "tween" library for ActionScript. In this post, we'll walk through a basic example using Tweener.
