moving around the stage(doing a full lap) before ending at a certain point

[GregorII]

Hello guys

How do I make that the object that I click, start moving in circles ( 2-3 times ) around the stage before arriving at its end position.Something like in this picture.

PS: it doesnt have to have an exact radius or exact steps, it just has to rotate 1-2 times and after that go to the certain point on the stage.

 

the way I figured out it could be is something like this:

private function onClick( ev:MouseEvent ):void
    {
        var currentObj:Sprite = ev.currentTarget as Sprite;

        TweenLite.to(currentObj, 1, {x:first_X, y:first_Y, onComplete:goToPosition2 });

        function goToPosition2():void
        {
            TweenLite.to(currentObj, 1, {x:secontd_X, y:second_Y, onComplete:goToPosition3 });
        }

        function goToPosition3():void
        {
            TweenLite.to(currentObj, 1, {x:third_X, y:third_Y, onComplete:goToPosition4 });
        }
        ..
        ..
        .
        .
        .
        //and so on and so on

    }

yet I somehow feel that this is very wrong way of doing it.

thanks.

Your best bet is probably to use the BezierPlugin.

You can see an example in the Plugin Explorer here: http://www.greensock.com/v12/
