I'm a complete novice whne it comes to tweening nonetheless I want to take my first steps. I want to use tweeening to animate GUI moveclip elements on and around the stage, ultimately sequencing them into fluid movements. I have seen basic examples of this kind of effects using Greensock's TimelineLite and TimelineMax. What is the best approach for organising GUI movieclip elements so than they can be easily tweened in sequences? Three alternative ways come mind (although there may be more): 1. Have the movieclips live on stage with imagery on frame 1 and ._visible set to false? 2. Instead of using ._visible have the movieclips live on stage with imagery on frame 2 and and a as stop(); on frame 1? 3. Load movieclips as external SWF? Any advice would be very much appreciated newbie_from_Wales_UK
