It turned me from a designer to a developer and puts me to sleep at night knowing I’ll be able to animate anything with ease. I now describe ANY animation as a tween using Tweener. Timeline wha? Tweener taught me math, sequencing, interpolation, and that things can be easy to use. No Tweener 2? Will they ever make an E.T. 2? Hell no, because they got it right the first time - just like you. Zeh in my mind, you are a celebrity and Tweener is a legend. Not only is Tweener part of my vernacular but it’s also a word I use to describe “All that is good in the world”. You’ve inspired me to create my own animation engine, not to replace Tweener, but to compliment it. To bridge the gap between other programming languages, and to keep my coding consistent while protecting my sanity. If you find yourself sucked into the world of WPF and Silverlight http://artefactanimator.codeplex.com/ is there for you. It’ll help you like you have helped me over the years. Surprisingly I didn’t call it XXXTweener cause it would only be considered a cheap knock-off. While it’ll never be better than the original, maybe one day it can make you proud. Thank-you for such a great contribution to the community and an ever inspiring attitude. Respect, Jesse Zeh, Tweener has made me a better person.

Fico meio triste por ver o Tweener morrer... durante muitos anos foi o que usei na maioria dos meus projectos. Nada como mudar para evoluir. :) Obrigado Zé!

I agree that names are important, and after considering and researching tween libraries more, I decided to start a new library called Actuate. Actuate builds upon what I was doing with GTweener and applies the same concept to any tween library you want to use. This lets you change libraries interchangeably to take advantage of their respective strengths. I found a library called BetweenAS3 that works faster than any other library I've used before, but it only supports Flash 10 and missed certain features I needed. Using a custom actuator, I'm able to add the features I need to use BetweenAS3 the way I want to. I can change to a TweenMax actuator if the project is Flash 9, or a GTween actuator to avoid TweenMax's license restrictions for certain projects. Once again I appreciate all of your work, the value you've offered us all in Tweener, and showing me that tweening should be fun and easy. If you ever want to take a look, the project is hosted here: http://code.google.com/p/actuate Thanks and good luck to you! Hi again,
