TweenLite Family and gTween Are Getting Married

My favorite Tweening engine is uniting with another popular engine, gTween. Just checked my email to hear the fascinating news. Jack Greensock and Grant Skinner, both renowned in the Flash community have decided to put there heads together and make a Powerhouse Tweening engine which should be better than both. I myself am looking forward to this union. I never had the chance to use gTween alone because I was so hooked on TweenLite, but I know the newest version borrowed some of gTweens features such as shortRotation. There is also a beta version out that can be found on Jack's site.



Here is an excerpt from Jack's announcing post.

Grant Skinner is one of the most well-respected Flash developers in the world. His inspiring work and generous contributions to the Flash community have earned him a stellar reputation and countless fans. So it is with great excitement that I announce our collaboration on the upcoming release of TweenLite and TweenMax. Grant’s recent Beta offerings of his gTween engine showed great promise and as we talked, it became obvious that we have similar objectives. We figured it made a lot of sense to put our heads together and build on TweenLite and TweenMax, creating a unified platform that’s better, faster, and more flexible than ever. Grant has a proven track record of looking for ways to benefit the overall Flash community, and this is just one more example. It is truly an honor to have his valuable input.
