Hello,

I’ve been using the timeline to annimate for quite sometime now. I want to start using the mxTween classes instead but i’m not sure how to achieve the same control from a “timing point of view” as i do using the timeline.

Which is the best way to achieve annimation that overlaps each other time wise (example: having one annimation begin before the first one completes),  
using action script via the tween classes in flash professional 8?

I can sequence the annimations but i’m not sure how to have other ann…  
playing while others begin; only using script.

thx for your help in advanced.
