TweenLite used as a Timer?

Hi all,

 

I started routinely using Tweenlite.to() static method instead of a Timer by setting a fake target (like 'this') and just putting a onComplete on the tweenvars object.

I dunno if I should, what about the efficiency of that trick?

 

  TweenLite.to(this,2,{onComplete:myFunc});
function myFunc()
{
//My instructions...
}

TweenLite has a built in method called delayedCall() that is perfect for your situation.

 

TweenLite.delayedCall(2, myFunc); //myFunc will fire after 2 seconds


function myFunc()
{
//My instructions...
}

 

delayedCall also takes an array of parameters for the function that is getting called.

You may find it interesting that delayedCall actually creates a TweenLite instance behind the scenes that works similar to your method. delayedCall() just makes it easier to get the same end result with less code.
