Well the first thing you have to do is download the classes of TweenLite. After that you need to import the class in order to use it; here is the import statement:

1
2

import gs.TweenLite;
import fl.motion.easing.*;

TweenLite as the name states is really light; it weights only 2k which is better than Tweener(10k). As you can see in the previous code I also imported the Adobe easing function. If you want to use easing, you will have to do that also which will had an additional 1k to the package.

TweenLite syntax is really similar to Tweener which is good since that was an advantage of using Tweener. Here is a simple tween using TweenLite:

1

TweenLite.to (rectangle, 3, {x:300, ease:Linear.easeIn});

The difference from Tweener’s syntax is that the second parameter in TweenLite is duration(how much time in seconds will the tween last) in this case 3 seconds. So this line of code will make the displayObject rectangle move from its currents position to a new position where its x value will be 300 in 3 seconds.

The same way you did it with Tweener, you can also tween multiple properties with TweenLite, here is an example:

1

TweenLite.to(rectangle, 1, {x:300, alpha:1, scaleX:1.5, scaleY:1.5, delay:2});

So this the rectangle will go to the x position 300, its alpha will raise to 100%, it will grow to 1.5 its original scale, all that in one second after a 2 second delay.

As you can see TweenLite offers all the advantages that Tweener offers with 2 more being light weight and being faster. I hope this tutorial will help you.
