[Tweener] Tweener Events??

[Zeh Fernando]

No, it's not because of any overhead, it's sort of an oversight. It just
carries the AS2 features into the AS3 version but in AS3 using events for
that sort of stuff is a much better idea. My guess is that it would probably
be faster (albeit negligible) to use an EventDispatcher so IMO there's no
real reason for callbacks other than some nostalgic desire for on*
functions.

Still, that's the way it's done now and it's the way it'll be for a while. I
mean, Tweener works well for AS3, but it just carries too much from the AS2
way of doing things so some re-thinking is necessary, and the way to
approach events like that is a big part of it; Tweener AS3 is an adaptation
of an AS2 approach and not a critical re-purposing. I'll have something more
to say about that sort of stuff in the future.
