I was just wondering, while looking up the Tween constructor params for the 10,000th time, why the Tween class doesn’t trigger code autocompletion or code coloring? Should I not be using this class directly? Is it bad for some reason?

(not to mention they hide the help docs for it in the “component language reference”)

What’s up with that???

If you want code hints when using it, see this thread: [http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=216417](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=216417)

The Tween class is in the the mx package, so I believe that that’s why it’s in the component language reference. That’s probably also why there aren’t code hints. The IDE’s AS panel isn’t the greatest of editors, so it doesn’t ‘know’ if you have imported the correct class or not.
