I am probably the only person that does this, I use a few different kind of tween engines in flex. I got into TweenLite, and for most of my needs, I find TweenLite works great with Flex and it's simple to use. I know some people like to code tweening in MXML, which personally I think is obtuse and, difficult to use than actionscript, especially for really complicated tween needs.
In future releases, has adobe thought about making other tween engines more adaptable to Flex, I've written wrappers to dispatch Flex tweenEvents for tweenLite to Flex, and it works like a charm. Just a suggestion, here is why I use tweenLite for most of my tweening needs in flex http://blog.greensock.com/tweening-speed-test/ Anybody else, doing non-conventional stuff like me? I know that the adobe tween stuff is being rewritten. I think tweenlite is great because it allows you to tween any property of any object. So, for instance if it's a style, here's an example of what I do with tweenLite, so I can tween a style of an object, just create a setter for the action. public function set backgroundAlpha(n:Number):void { this.setStyle("backgroundAlpha",n); } var tween:TweenLite = new TeeenLite(this,.5,{alpha:1,onComplete:onCompleteTween}; (the constructor takes the object you are performing a tween on, the duration of the tween, and an object with name/values of the property and the conclusion value of the tween. This works like a charm for me.
