Hello there… first post!

I am experimenting with pushing tweens into arrays so that they don’t get garbage collected (works great).

Once they’re IN the array, how do I reference them again?

For example, I pushed two new tweens into a tween array and want to reference them as tweenArray[0] and tweenArray[1] on separate mouse clicks (one button for each) expecting that the tweens will be recycled, but the tweens won’t run.

Anyone else tried to do this?
