[Tweener] Random Arc?

[Hicks, James]

Service oriented architecture... it all makes perfect sense.  Tweener
provides what it provides best.  It shouldn't do everything - then it
just becomes code clutter.

In a nutshell, Tweener works by changing numeric properties of objects. 
So the thing is: if you can get your SVG and render it to a 
container/shape (as is often the case), so sure, Tweener can move it 
around as if it was a normal movieclip.

But Tweener itself doesn't take care of SVG rendering, as it's outside 
of the scope of numeric transition it focuses on. So I don't know what 
that specific example does (it just opens a blank canvas for testing 
here), but if you mean redrawing items on some specific way - it won't 
do that. You may have functions that redraw stuff and that are 
influenced by tweener (because it changes variables and request a 
redraw), but nothing "automatic", like tweening the number of points a 
star has with no additional code.

In the end, there's a lot of what AnimationPackage does that Tweener 
doesn't, and won't, do. Honestly, because I think there's a lot of 
specificities that are better tackled somewhere else, with specific new 
code. Tweener just changes numbers from a value to the other; instead of

having 10 ways to draw a line, it just changes variables that will 
influence the parameters of any custom kind of line you can draw later 
with your own code.

Not right or wrong approaches, just different ones.
