Chapter 107: Tween.kill()

Core Idea

kill() stops the tween, with optional scoping to specific targets and/or properties instead of killing the whole thing.

Reference Tables

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
target	Object	null	limit killing to this target (or array of targets); omit to affect all
propertiesList	String	"all"	comma-delimited property names to stop animating

Code Examples

tween.kill(); // kill everything
tween.kill(myObject, "opacity,x"); // only stop these properties on this target

Key Takeaways

1. Unlike Timeline's parameterless kill(), Tween's version can target specific properties/targets within a multi-target tween — killing the rest of the tween's properties leaves it running.
