Grant has now merged forces with Jack Doyle, author of TweenLite, TweenMax and TweenGroup. The syntax is almost identical and I think you'll have an easier time achieving the effect you want. A tweens "pulse" can be updated via a setInterval, use of a Timer object, based on the milliseconds a flash movie has been running (getTime) or Enter_Frame events. Enter_Frame has proven to be the most reliable but due to differences in computer speed and network conditions none of them are bullet proof. TweenLite, I believe uses a combination of enter_frame and a Timer where the pulse is updated via enter_frame and the Timer object is then used to determine exactly which "frame" of the tween is to be rendered. This means if for some reason the flash movie lags, you may see a jump in animation in order to complete in the time you've allotted. You do not have to specify this when using TweenLite but keep in mind your movies framerate, the distance of the tween and the amount of time you are allowing for the tween to finish all factor in to the smoothness of playback.
