Gtween & rotation !
Hi,
I have a very peculiar behaviour.
I have parent sprite which holds some child sprites. Now both child sprites and parent sprites have their own Gtween animations. All of that works fine till i add a rotation behaviour to the child sprite and it makes the entire sprite go jump around !!
Try commenting the rotorTween line and tween goes smoothly !

Comments
As anchorpoint of the parent is calculated based on starting dimensions of the parent, the changes in its dimensions make them jump.
If you disable setting anchorpoint to parent it should work as expected.
So what you can do, is not setting an anchor point to parent, but rather set negative position values to some child members, thus making it behave like anchored to some specific position
something like
local dummy1 = Sprite:new()
dummy1:setPosition("left", "top")
local dummy2 = Sprite:new()
dummy2:setPosition("right", "bottom")
Is there no better way to set the bounds to parent sprite ?
Is there a memory impact to setting the sprite to screen size ? ( assuming not! )
BTW- The jerkiness does go away as expected !
2) No there is no better way
3) No I don't think there will be much of an impact, as Sprite is only a holder and does not impact rendering
