onComplete and the call stack

[BladePoint]

Lets say I've got 10 functions, and each one does some stuff and does a tween, and I want to execute the functions in succession. If I use onComplete on each function's tween to call the next function, will I end up with a huge call stack? Would using delayedCall instead also result in a big call stack? If I used addEventListener and dispatchEvent to call the successive function instead, would that not create a large call stack?

I'm not sure I understand your question. I can, however, say that using event listeners instead of regular callbacks would NOT reap any performance benefits. Callbacks are typically faster. And a delayedCall() is just a zero-duration tween with an onComplete and delay anyway, so there's no specific reason to (or not to) use those over a standard tween. 

 

In terms of the call stack, there isn't anything special you need to do specifically for GSAP, but if you write code that spawns tweens that each spawn more tweens that each spawn more tweens (infinitely), that's a logic issue and yes you could definitely bog the system down. That'd be true regardless of what animation tool/technique you use.
