About tweeners

Hi,
i have often see on the net different tutorials and examples for ac3, and I notice that often, for moving objects,they are using the Tween class, but not native flash.transition.Tween class, but tweens like Caurina or TweenMax.
So i was wondering why this custom classes are used, not native? What is the benefit of using that kind of classes, is the performance better, file smaller, better code understandig or something else?
If can someone explain this, and why to use Caurina or TweenMax, it will be great :)

Ease of use! Especially for more complex tweening sequences. You may also want to check out Tweego.

So, the performance is better with these classes? Thanks, i all ready downloaded TweenLite, and will start using that. Thanks once again :)

There are actually quite a few reasons beyond performance and ease-of-use (although those may very well be the most important for many users). There's a chapter in Flash AS3 for Interactive Agencies where I talk about some of the key factors to keep in mind when choosing an engine. I broke them down into the following categories: speed, features, flexibility, management features, AS2/AS3 compatibility, synchronization, ease of use, reliability, file size, and maintenance/updates. You can read the PDF version at http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/GreenSock-Tweening-Intro-Chapter.pdf. Hope it helps.

Happy tweening. :)
