    @seasickjavi,
    Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comments. I don't know how soon I will be able to put together a tutorial on the ease visualizer. Try playing around with it for a bit. Find a few eases you like and experiment with them.

    Hi Carl,
    I am new to the scripting thing. Coming from a fine art background and it is much easier for me to visualize shapes and colors rather than numbers and letters. I started with time line in Flash and after going through few new lessons I already starting to see the advantages of coding. Only one thing still seems to be an advantage in Flash’s time line.
    I previously developed a Flash based site for my client http://www.888acolyte.com There is an animated collage sequence in application section. It has 10+ images fading in, moving in and blurring in to their final positions. I feel that it is better if I can make every single image start from slightly different position, with slightly different speed, some slowing down before coming to the stop. 
    If I like such a level of control and tweaking is it achievable with GreenSock platform or time line is a better option?

    you can certainly randomize or give each tween its own duration and ending values and still have better flexibility and performance than doing it on the timeline.
    perhaps this post here will give you some ideas:
