Long lasting tweens performance

[bastrix]

Hey all,

 

I'm building a flash strategy browser game where you can send attacks to other players represented on a map. So whenever you send an attack to an enemy I want to display an animation of an icon moving towards the target.

 

My concern is that these animations could last as long as minutes. At the moment I'm calculating the angle and doing it manually and I'm not using Tweenlite. Do you think using Tweenlite would be a good idea in this scenario or will it make flash player struggle?

 

By the way the user has the option to switch sections whilst he is in the game of course, so he might switch from the map to the base, and back to the map. I would have to remove the moving object and the tween, and place it back on the appropiate position when he re-enters the map.

 

Thanks for your help.

TweenLite is the best option for Tweening, I assure you. Especially if you're using vectors (which taxes CPU)

 

A clever use of TimelineLite and appends will give you the desired effect
