Package	com.greensock.motionPaths
Class	public class RectanglePath2D
Inheritance	RectanglePath2D MotionPath flash.display.Shape

Since RectanglePath2D extends the Shape class, you can add an instance to the display list to see a line representation of the path drawn which can be helpful especially during the production phase. Use lineStyle() to adjust the color, thickness, and other attributes of the line that is drawn (or set the RectanglePath2D's visible property to false or don't add it to the display list if you don't want to see the line at all). You can also adjust all of its properties like scaleX, scaleY, rotation, width, height, x, and y. That means you can tween those values as well to achieve very dynamic, complex effects with ease.

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.motionPaths.*;
//create a rectangular motion path at coordinates x:25, y:25 with a width of 150 and a height of 100
var rect:RectanglePath2D = new RectanglePath2D(25, 25, 150, 100, false);
//position the MovieClip "mc" at the beginning of the path (upper left corner), and reference the resulting PathFollower instance with a "follower" variable.
var follower:PathFollower = rect.addFollower(mc, 0);
//tween the follower clockwise along the path all the way to the end, one full revolution
TweenLite.to(follower, 2, {progress:1});
//tween the follower counter-clockwise by using a negative progress value
TweenLite.to(follower, 2, {progress:-1});

NOTES

• All followers' positions are automatically updated when you alter the MotionPath that they're following.
• To tween all followers along the path at once, simply tween the MotionPath's progress property which will provide better performance than tweening each follower independently.
