Oh do you mean easing? So as it approaches its destination it moves
slower and slower?
If so, there are many packages that already do this for you, so no need
to reinvent the wheel. All you need to do is call it.
One such package is TweenLite:

Just set the easing equation to what ever curve you require, there is
even a little flash app. that lets you pick parameters to copy-paste.
Peace,

I am after tweening events more than the actual position of a selector.
ie. class.increment(); <short pause> class.increment(); <slightly longer
pause> class.increment(); <even longer pause>... until stop
So I would be providing a UI of selected items via visual easing.
I think I have this nailed down... just wanted to get some other ideas on
how best to approach it.

Erm, I am not sure I understand; so let me paraphrase:
You want to scroll one area based on the position of a mouse in another,
right?
If so, just measure the bounds [x/y difference] from some center range and
apply a Tween to the area you want to scroll.
BTW: I would generally always recommend against using timers to apply
movements; I've seen far too much code written that uses timers incorrectly
and it's a real pain in the *** Stick to simple tween calls; like:
TweenLite.
With kind,
Sebastian.

I was thinking about this the other day... easing of a selection of items
in
a list.
Now, one could move a selector with a mouse, and then kind of throw it and
then check the onUpdate of it's single ease (use speed as the
determination
for how far it should travel) to check if it's within the bounds of an
item,
and highlight that item, deselecting the previous item.
That approach works and is probably the easiest.
But what if you wanted to use an index of items & use an easing approach
(or
something that looked like it) where the items themselves had a selector
clip within them... so you wouldn't be moving a selector item under them
all, but affecting them in order with easing. What might be a good
approach
for something like that? Perhaps a timer with a reverse damping interval?
What might that look like as a good approach.
