Description

Method; starts the play of a tweened animation from its starting point. This method is used for re-starting a Tween from the beginning of its animation after it stops or has completed its animation.

Example

This example creates a new Tween object that animates the _x property of the img1_mc movie clip. After the tweened animation is complete and calls the Tween.onMotionFinished event handler, the tween is played again by calling the Tween.start() method. The result is a movie clip that moves across the Stage from left to right and then starts the animation over again when it reaches the end of the Stage. A movie clip instance named img1_mc, is required on the Stage for this example:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(img1_mc, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone,0, Stage.width, 50, false);

myTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
    myTween.start();
};
