Utilities for Code Hinting and Strict Typing in TweenLite/Filter/Max

Posted in Tweening by jack on the July 15th, 2008

I created some AS3 utility classes that can (optionally) be used with TweenLite or TweenMax that address two requests:

  1. Code hinting – Sometimes it’s hard to remember all the special properties that are available in the tweening classes, so code hinting would be very useful. In most decent code editors like Flex Builder, FDT, etc. (NOT the Flash Authoring tool), these classes will trigger code hinting (see screen capture below).
  2. Strict datatyping – Some developers are extremely passionate about strict datatyping and they’re scared away by TweenLite/Filter/Max’s “loosey-goosey” treatment of the vars Object. Many others love the flexibility, efficiency, and readability of that same feature. This utility should make it easier on the strict datatyping folks.
