RE: [Flashcoders] double barrelled TweenMax instances
I tested your code locally and it worked fine - I suspect there's something
else going on in your file that's causing the problem. There is absolutely
no functional difference between using the static to() method and creating
an instance with new TweenMax(). Some prefer a static to() call because
they don't want to keep track of the instance or null references to it for
gc purposes while others like the object-oriented new TweenMax() syntax.
Pick whatever you like. And those tweens won't cancel each other out in your
example either.
Could you send me an example FLA that demonstrates the problem (off-list of
course)? Feel free to post the question in the forums at
http://forums.greensock.com as well. I'm sure we can get this figured out.

Subject: [Flashcoders] double barrelled TweenMax instances
Hi list...
I'm trying to call a function twice in a row, and have some TweenMax
instances fire up. They aren't firing. I thought it would have to do with
the way I'm instancing the TweenMax objects, instead of calling the static
to method, but that doesn't seem to be it. I still suspect that instances
are somehow cancelling each other out. Example 2 works, and they're
instance with the static to method. But, the issue is, I'd like to reduce
the amount of code I have down to one private function.
Any advice is appreciated,

Re: [Flashcoders] double barrelled TweenMax instances
if you make a new instance of TweenMax you have to calls its .play method to
trigger it
