Dynamic Properties -- the tween is always tweening?

[robertnyc]

If you use dynamic properties plugin in the tween, is the tween always 'running'. That is, in the example you have on the site, the tween will always follow the mouse. Thus the tween is now a function that's always "listening'? Does this mean that any tweened objects are then never garbage-collected?

Absolutely not. Tweens always have a duration. So a tween with a duration of 2 seconds will end after 2 seconds regardless of whether or not it uses dynamicProps. No need to worry about garbage collection like that. And you can see in the example that the tween honors the duration - that's one of the most useful things about dynamicProps - it figures out how fast it must move to honor the duration and the ease that you set in the tween and still reach the new destination values.

Yes, of course. Thanks -- it was simply that the tween in the plugin explorer was set long enough (4 seconds) that I stopped exploring before it ran out -- assumed it ran forever, but if I moved mouse long enough, sure enough tween stopped.
