target (required)

Table. Any object that behaves like a table, for example display objects.

params (required)

Table. A table that specifies the properties of the transition. See transition.to() for parameter references.

Examples

local square = display.newRect( 0, 0, 100, 100 )

local w,h = display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight

local function listener( obj )
    print( "Transition completed on object: " .. tostring( obj ) )
end

-- Move square from bottom right corner to upper left corner
transition.from( square, { time=1500, x=(w-50), y=(h-50), onComplete=listener } )
