Hi Stephan,

Thanks for the reply,

I can imagine that a AQScrollRect helper method adds value to
asapframework, as it can actually be made reusable ( ie the interface
never changes ). I'll be working on a project where tweening filters
will be a major part, so i'll see if i can come up with some ideas for
a a generic interface. Obviously, stacking filters on top of eachother
should be a must-have feature. Maybe a AQFilter helper method that
takes a generic filter class and a description how it must handle the
tween properties?
