[osflash] Tweening filters

[Alias™]

Hi guys,

    I'm being quite lazy by not figuring this out by myself, but I thought I
might be able to get some useful insight into this.

I'm working on a tween manager program, which is not unlike Fuse in that it
uses queues of objects to handle complex sequences of tweening data. Anyway,
all that works fine, but I'm now looking to make it work for filters as
well.

As I understand, the MovieClip.filters property returns a *copy* rather than
a reference to the mc's filterlist. If this is correct, his makes my job
slightly trickier, as my current system relies on just modifying the
reference to an object property, and the changes are updated automagically.
However, with filters, this doesn't work, possibly because of the
copy/reference issue. This means I'll have to take a copy of the object's
filterlist for each tween, tween it, and reassign it every frame.

Does this sound right, or totally insane? Has anyone done anything similar
before?

Also...in order to make a purely code based post on topic for this list,  I
have a (somewhat philosophical) question.

Does the OS flash world need another tweening engine? Or are there enough
out there already? Of the ones that are there, what do people like/dislike
about them? Which one is your favourite?

Cheers,
Alias
