Grant Skinner has been hard at work on gTween, a new tweening engine for AS3. In case you’re wondering why he would take the time to create another tweening engine:

There are a lot of great tweening engines out there. Personally, I’m a huge fan of Jack Doyle’s TweenLite (and he’s been incredibly productive adding new features lately). However, none of these libraries exactly fit the needs of me and my team. I wanted an engine that was small, fast, hugely flexible, and built from the ground up for AS3 and developers.

While I’m still sticking with TweenLite, Skinner’s feature overview showcases strong core functionality. The engine is still in a beta stage, but he just released Beta 3 on November 4th—work is progressing steadily. If you’re looking for a new tweening engine, gTween might be the answer.
