Changed the object to a circle and replaced the tweenlite functions with AS3 Tweens. A problem appeared though, when I added a TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH for the onFadeOutComplete function. After a while the animation seems to freeze or stop working, the objects stop fading out. It looks likes this is a garbage collector problem, but using an array for the tweens that i reset when it reaches the _count variable, and removing the tween event listeners don't fix this problem. Anyone got an idea how to fix this ? Ok I’ve managed to get it (partly) working. Changed the object to a circle and replaced the tweenlite functions with AS3 Tweens.

I'm trying to adapt the code and use the tween class but appearently this is harder than i thought... Would this be very hard without using the TweenLite library ?

Could you submit the .fla file and or have a link to the file it's easier to understand files when pulling them apart.

You are right, the class SpinningPreloader doesn't necessarily have to extend Sprite. I guess I had originally planned to make it a display object itself. The _target property makes this obsolete though. Thanks for pointing this out. @Ivo: Good eye! You are right, the class SpinningPreloader doesn’t necessarily have to extend Sprite.

It doesnt seem like itself gets added to the display list. Is there a reason why SpinningPreloader extends Sprite ? It doesnt seem like itself gets added to the display list.
