cTween : Tweening at it's core.

Point A to Point B in 2 seconds

cTween.to(mc, {x:400, y:200}, 2);

Call a function when tween is done

cTween.to(mc, {x:200}, 2, doSomething);

Custom easing

import fl.transitions.easing.*;
cTween.to(mc, {alpha:0, y:200, ease:Bounce.easeOut}, 5);

Not another tween engine

Most other tween engines out there are feature packed with stuff, most of it seldom used. All I wanted was a simple and clean way to tween and I was pretty sure it could be done with a lot less code. cTween is a lightweight no nonsense tweening engine that performs only core tweening operations. If you’re looking for feature packed stuff, cTween isn’t for you.

C is for Simple
