I can’t wrap my head around this. Im setting up 20 tweens, all created within a for loop, and that works ok. But I only want each tween to start after the previous one is complete. Something like [AS]for (i=1; i\<=ind; i++) {  
if (playNext == true) {  
tw\* = new mx.transitions.Tween(maskmc[“m”+i], “\_height”, mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, maskmc[“m”+i].\_height, \_global.dim, 15);  
new mx.transitions.Tween(maskmc[“m”+i], “\_width”, mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, maskmc[“m”+i].\_width, \_global.dim, 15);  
}  
playNext=false;  
tw\*.onMotionFinished = function() {  
playNext = true;  
};  
}[/AS]Any ideas?

[AS]a=1  
function mcTween(mc) {  
tw = new mx.transitions.Tween(mc, “\_height”, mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, mc.\_height, \_global.dim, 15);  
tw.onMotionFinished = function() {  
a++;  
if (a\<=ind) {  
mcTween(maskmc[“m”+a]);  
}  
};  
}  
mcTween(maskmc[“m”+a])[/AS]

you could do it this way.
