Recently, Greensock released a JavaScript version of their popular ActionScript tweening suite. I have worked with the ActionScript version, and have been experimenting using the new release in Impact. It has worked out well.
I don't know how familiar the Impact community is with Greensock, or other tween engines, but I believe this new release should have a strong influence on Impact development.
There is a key difference in the way Impact and TweenLite handle time and updates. If I am understanding correctly, both handle frame dropping gracefully, but only Impact has a settable, maximum allowed dropped frames. This difference should be expected to cause the two engines to get out of sync, which may not be a problem for some things, but a solution should be worked out to allow for integration of these two great tools.
