Greensock

I first came across Greensock a few years ago when looking for an AS3 tweening engine. At the time the native flash tweening framework didn’t cut the mustard and still doesn’t. I tried Tweener and GTween along the way and liked both, but was won over by Greensocks TweenMax & TweenLite with the blistering speed and small fooot print of TweenLite and the awsome features of TweenMax. Features include a wide range of preset easing, filters for color, shadow etc. The list is vast and a premium version is available if you sign up for a club Greensock account with additional plugins including 2D physics and motion blur.

The Greensock framework has now been extended to include TweenNano, TimelineMax, TimelineLite, TransformManager and LoaderMax.



I have recently noticed I was unable to compile projects with the IPhone packager if TweenMax has been used, TweenLite on the other hand was fine. If any one else has experienced this or knows of a solution please leave a comment.

If anyone can suggest an alternative tweening framework and some features please comment id be very keen to hear.

As Jack has commented below, others have successfully deployed TweenMax to Iphone. If anyone has experienced similar issues visit the greensock forums
