I don't know if I can explain this correctly but I'll give it a try.  There is something I routinely did in flash that i can't figure out how to do in html5/javascript.   Let's say i have an image of a football and it is moving from point A to point B, it could even be moving along a curved path which I know how to do.  BUT, as this football is moving from point A to B, i want it also to be rotating so it looks like it is sort of spinning as it hurls itself through the air.  In flash.  I accomplished this using a real hack solution.  I just made an animated gif of said football and then moved it from point A to point B but there must be a better way.

 

If this makes sense to anyone and you can help, I'd appreciate it.

Welcome to the HTML/JS forums :) Nice to see that you've got some Flash experience from the old days. 

 

I might be misunderstanding your question, but wouldn't it be as simple as adding a rotation to your tween? Like rotation:360 or rotation:720 or something? 

 

If that doesn't help, please provide a reduced test case (codepen or jsfiddle) and we'd be happy to take a peek and offer some suggestions. 

 

Happy tweening!
