    No issues Jack, glad you already have something in place. I saw SlowMo a while ago, its very intelligent, and I can see why it does pretty much everything the OutIn eases do. Can you explain why InOut is used more commonly than OutIn? The only time I've used InOut is to get a slow-startup, quick-motion and slow-stop effect. This feels more natural than either In/Out separately, so its useful when you're moving a big object onscreen and need to make it look smooth.

    Wierd. I just checked everything I have and I can't find them too in GSAP 10/11/12! I finally found it in another tweening engine. Apparently I merged these eases and use them on a daily basis. You should add them in pronto! https://www.box.com/s/m9y7mpayip9uxxndq7h1 Open the cheatsheet SWF, click on "Complete". Spot the OutIn equations? You'll find sources attached. Have fun.

    Hi all, In previous versions of GSAP you have the OutIn easing equations, such as BounceOutIn. In GSAP v12 however, I can't find these. Even in the main class Bounce, I have only spotted 3 variants of the ease : out, in, and inOut. Where's the OutIn versions of each ease? Do you have to use InOut as OutIn by reversing it in some way? Am I missing something here? Thanks

    I understand now. So since easing is not always started now (it could be started later with a delay) its impossible to save start values on this frame. And the overwriting / performance optimization is incredible as well. Thanks a lot.

    Totally awesome. I never knew TweenMax could tween multiple objects with a single command. Thanks for the superhero support, Jack, its really really appreciated!

    Thanks for trying so hard to help, Lasercode, and welcome to the greensock forums. I'm pretty new here too! The only thing I can think of is elegance and the fact you don't need to calc all the values upfront. So you can chain complex movements and let GS do the rest. - relative : to(pos), to("10") to ("-10") - absolute : to(pos), to(pos+10), to(pos) I can't really tell which is better.

    Nice ideas, but not exactly. I wanted to know the benefits of relative value tweening vs absolute. Why not use this: TweenMax.to(playerStone, 1, {x: stone.x + fieldWidth }); // absolute tweening Instead of this: TweenMax.to(playerStone, 1, {x: String(fieldWidth) }); // relative tweening Apart from the fact that its "easier" or "prettier" are there any functional benefits to doing it as a string instead of providing the values as absolute values.

    Hi all, TweenLite allows relative property tweening if the value is supplied as a string. When is this useful? Apart from the obvious like when you want to move an object offscreen you say "x:10000". But I would still prefer calculating the value absolutely. I simply can't see one real world application for relative tweening. Can anyone tell me if they used it? or where it would be good to use it? Maybe something like this? TweenLite.to(obj, {x: 50}); TweenLite.to(obj, {x: "10"}); // goes to 60 TweenLite.to(obj, {x: "-10"}); // goes back to 50 Is this a practical example or are there more? Thanks

    Smart one, back-to-back. I suppose this is a good idea to implement with chaining. And the power eases are just renamed versions of the old ones. (I think)

    Thanks jack, that makes sense.

    Hi all, This is more of a user question rather than a technical one. Can you give me some usage examples of easeParams? Currently I think its only used for complex equations that need such params, although I still don't know how or when you'd use these config parameters : a Amplitude p Period o Overshoot Thanks

    Hi all, I recently stumbled upon MoveThis, another tweening engine. If you scroll down to the Gears demo, you'll see demos of Arch and Reverse, probably 2 tween easing equations. (I can't figure if they are just different names for existing Penner equations, although they are signed by "Todd Williams" aka taterboy) Would adding these eases into TweenLite be of any use? Unless they are already added. Also, MoveThis has a nice "easingStrength" parameter that apparently controls the amount of ease applied. Does TL have anything like that? Would it be a useful addition? Thanks
  13. Jeremy Rudd
    Thanks a lot. I can see that I don't need such a thing.

    Hi, I've found this code inside the initTweenVals() function of GSAP v10. Why is it needed? I'm not using timeScale anywhere, but is the tweening engine using it for something? if (vars.timeScale != undefined && target.hasOwnProperty("timeScale")) { tweens[tweens.length] = new TweenInfo(target, "timeScale", target.timeScale, vars.timeScale - target.timeScale, "timeScale", false); //[object, property, start, change, name, isPlugin] } Thanks
  15. Jeremy Rudd
    Understood. So its for both reasons. Unpredictable user code and reactivation (enable = true) of deleted tweens that makes it better for TweenLite to defer the deletion until its actually needed. Great job, Jack. No one would suspect the amount of thought-work that goes into everything.
