[Golist] HydroTween direct method calls--not callbacks? + HydroSequence

[Eric-Paul Lecluse]

Thx Jud,

The default LinearGo will take one second to run (defaultDuration), so now
I¹m doing this:

                var l : LinearGo = new LinearGo(0, 0);
l.addCallback(mAnimator.showBirdsEyeView);
mSequence.addStep(l);
And it does what I want it to do. The animation package I used to use
(ActionQueue from ASAPLibrary) has the ability to just do something similar
to:

                mSequence.addStep(mAnimator.showBirdsEyeView);

It¹s cleaner, but would require more coding in the SequenceCA. I¹ll stick to
the working code for now, and then maybe after the current project I¹ll try
to create a Go-package with the syntax I¹m used to.

Cheers,
EP.
