True scripted animation is superior in terms of performance but not creativity. It's impossible for you to visualize those minuscule details in how somethings moves with JUST code. You may be able to generate code from an existing timeline animation, but I'm talking about initial creation and fine tuning.
Not saying Tweener is a bad thing but you just can't add in those subtle details that the timeline can offer (being able to view the animation frame by frame in slow motion, subtle detailed tweaks to movements). Yeah, you can change props over time with Tweener but it's impossible to fine tune small minute details without being able to see what's going on frame by frame. You can't visualize the subtle details in how something will move using just code. Movements look very similar in Tweener too, which is basically dictated by Penner's easing equations. Let's see Tweener do some character animation. Let's see Tweener do some complicated mask effects. It just can't. I love Tweener too. It does save the world. But it has it's limits. Trust me.
- exactly. this is the obvious difference between designers and developers. +1lvl_13
- I love the word impossible used here, certain things should not be done with Flash at all, like a complicated mask. I have been at this for 12 years now, trust me.NONEIS

- You just got out of school in 2004, you have not been using it for 12 years. Cut the shit.fyoucher1
