Logo Tween

This example uses the TweenToZone Action to move the particles from one shaped zone to the other and back again. It uses three emitters, one to create the particles, a second to move the particles from one zone to the other, and a third to move them back again. In the code we listen for the particle dead event on each emitter and revive the dying particle and add it to the next emitter.
