-
.addTween({
-
rotation: 90,
-
scaleX: 0.5,
-
scaleY: 0.5,
-
time: 0.6,
-
delay: 0.3,
-
transition: "easeOutCubic"
-
})
-
.addTween({
-

-
scaleY: 1,
-
time: 0.5,
-
delay: 0.9,

Where flash is concerned, it’s worth delving into class oriented programming… I use prototype and jQuery or own written mini libs in all my xhtml projects, but more out of nescessity then choice. I used to do the same in flash, till I discovered the power of classes. That said, I must say libraries like these can be quite a boon for quick and dirty projects, for big long term projects, use classes, you’ll do yourself (and possibly other parties that will maintain the project) a big favour.
does anyone have or know of a place with examples of using the as3query library in conjunction with an mxml page? i would like an example that maybe has some mxml elements, and shows jquery like event binding-
