#  COMPONENT: tweener - used for animating smooth movements
#
#  Each Tweener executes a command repeatedly through a series of
#  values from one extreme to another.  For example, the command may
#  change the size of a rectangle, and the values may go from 10 to
#  200.  The Tweener will make that happen over a specified interval
#  of time.  The animation can be stopped or changed at any point,
#  and if the Tweener is destroyed, the action is cancelled.
