  I found a tutorial that talks about GTween, but it seems GTween cannot make composition of tweens.
  
  Am I right?
  
  How do you handle this?
  
  Thanks.

  Use GTween or MovieClip - I personally use MovieClip or tween in code.

  Really though... MovieClip needs to go... it's cunky and inefficient

  As I (still) know nothing about Gideros I have to accept all members advices regarding its APIs.
  
  Could you please elaborate on that? And what would you suggest as a better alternative to it?
  
  Regards.

  MovieClip is fine. I don't use it in games for sprites - just for frontend stuff - bringing in titles, etc. No problem with it.

  MovieClip has problems with different speed of animation playback on different devices ..

  Really ? Sounds obvious for the frame based settings, but should be ok for time based animations.

  Somewhere on the forum there is a topic where we discussed it, animation based on time works differently on windows and on android

  Seems to work fine for me - at least what I use it for anyhow.

  I use different speed ratios on different platforms to keep the animation speed the same ..

  I use the time between frames passed to the event, that way the platform isn't important. I think MovieClip uses this as it seems to match the times accurately.

  @plicatibu sorry, besides coding your own there's no options. I made a post in the forums some time ago (http://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/6339/movieclip-or-roll-your-own-with-editor-and-example-project) and there's an example project that uses a custom made frame based animation system.
  
  One day I will rewrite the editor to be less buggy and work with TexturePacks (because you should totally be using those right from the start!)
  
  That should be enough to point you in the right direction
