calling tweens in other functions

[dthrasher90]

Is it possible to call a tween from another function?Basically, im trying to use a second button to fire off the tween. 

Like so:

function a() {

var tween = do something

}

 

function b(){

tweet.start()

}

Are these both located in the same class? 

You need to pass scope some how kinda like this:

a(this);

b(this);


function a(myScope) {

var myScope.tween = do something

}

 

function b(){

myScope.tweet.start()

}

Ok cool thanks, I may have to try that.  Basically I had one function that loaded a bunch of tweens and then exeucted them.  I want to break that up and have a button execute them instead.  So, I was going to try and load them in the functions and execute with another.  Curently they run as a closure, but I want to get another button to start the tween movement.
