cTween : Tweening at it's core.
February 5, 2009
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.

Super() Explained
November 20, 2008
The super() class is used to simply call on the particular class from which you are extending from.
In this example we have 3 files:
SuperExample.fla –> Which uses ChildClass.as as the document class.
ChildClass.as –> Our child class which extends from ParentClass.as
ParentClass.as –> Our parent class, which extends from GrandParentClass.as
GrandParentClass.as –> Our grand parent class, which extends from a Sprite class
In ParentClass.as we have a constructor which accepts a String. We’ll use this later on in ChildClass.as . Inside the constructor we have two trace statements, one tracing from the ParentClass itself, and one to accept a string as a parameter.
In ChildClass.as we can see one line in the constructor,
super("Hello from the ChildClass");
Where super is actually calling on the ParentClass constructor, passing in a string “Hello from the ChildClass”, which in turned is “supered” to its extended class GrandParentClass.as
