we're trying to tween the group to another position

everything does appear correctly

but when tweening, it doesn't move

it did work before putting it into a group so i don't believe the tween is the issue

are you trying to tween the group or the button inside the group?

the group

so everything moves at once

it should work

trace says it does reach the tween

but for some reason it's not moving

hx
FlxTween.tween(menu,  { x:menu.x, y:FlxG.height - menu.height}, 1, {type:ONESHOT, ease: FlxEase.backOut});

is there something here i'm missing?

menu is the sprite group

@nutritious-gold-52850 @breezy-account-94066 , The answer is posted above, in full.

yes i have switched to the sprite group

Show the code if you updated it and it doesn't work still

i've moved things with sprite groups before so the fact this isn't currently working is what is confusing me

The answer I posted outlines exactly what your issue is and how to fix it

i've followed what was in your post

yet it doesn't work

Please show the updated code

variables

hx
var menuButton:FlxButton;
    var isMenuOpen = false;
    var menu:FlxSpriteGroup;

adding the menu background + button

hx
// Menu Box
        var menuBox:FlxSprite = new FlxSprite();
        menuBox.makeGraphic(FlxG.width, FlxG.height, FlxColor.GRAY);
        menuBox.cameras = [uiCam];

        // Menu Button
        menuButton = new FlxButton(0, 0, "menu", function() {
            openMenu();
        });
        menuButton.cameras = [uiCam];
        menuButton.screenCenter(X);

        // menu
        menu = new FlxSpriteGroup();
        menu.add(menuBox);
        menu.add(menuButton);
        menu.cameras = [uiCam];
        add(menu);

tweening function

hx
public function openMenu(){
        if (isMenuOpen == false) {
            isMenuOpen = true;
            trace("Opening menu");
            FlxTween.tween(menu,  { x:menu.x, y:FlxG.height - menu.height}, 1, {type:ONESHOT, ease: FlxEase.backOut});
        }
        else {
            isMenuOpen = false;
            trace("Closing menu");
            FlxTween.tween(menu,  { x:menu.x, y:0}, 1, {type:ONESHOT, ease: FlxEase.cubeOut});
        }
    }

i believe that's everything

What do you expect

FlxG.height - menu.height

to be?

vs

y:0

for closed

game screen height - the menu sprite height

how tall is the menu sprite? the same as the screen?

Looks like it is

yeah same size

both tweens are tweening y to
