Tweening vs Scripting

[MajorTom]

Anyone have some theory and or facts to back up that scripting is better than tweening?

Looking for tutorials on acheiving the same effects that a tween has yet done through scripting.

Make one of each, then publish a size report. AS fade tweens at least, are much less processor intense.

I figured out a single-VAR, easing, tween-function. You can use the code to tween ANY variable, but if you point to _x or _alpha or _y then it causes a visual tween. If you want the code ill give it to ya. Its fairly simple, u just set tatgetX (for example) and if targetX != currentX then moveAlittlebit.

That would be great and I think it would help alot of people on here.

here is a quick little demo. The code could probably be improved, but I dont have the time. If anyone converts this into a better function, let me know.
