/**
 * Forces the <code>cacheAsBitmap</code> property of a DisplayObject to be a certain value (<code>true</code> or <code>false</code>)
 * during the tween and then sets it back to whatever it was before the tween was rendered for the first time. This <i>can</i> improve 
 * performance in certain situations, like when the DisplayObject <strong>NOT</strong> tweening its rotation, scaleX, scaleY, or similar
 * things with its <code>transform.matrix</code>. See Adobe's docs for details about when it is appropriate to set <code>cacheAsBitmap</code>
 * to <code>true</code>. Also beware that whenever a DisplayObject's <code>cacheAsBitmap</code> is <code>true</code>, it will ONLY be
 * rendered on whole pixel values which can lead to animation that looks "choppy" at slow speeds.<br /><br /> 
 * 
 * For example, if you want to set <code>cacheAsBitmap</code> to <code>true</code> while the tween is running, do:<br /><br /><code>
 * 
 * TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {x:100, cacheAsBitmap:true});<br /><br /></code>
 * 
 * <b>USAGE:</b><br /><br />
 * <code>
 * 		import com.greensock.TweenLite; <br />
 * 		import com.greensock.plugins.TweenPlugin; <br />
 * 		import com.greensock.plugins.CacheAsBitmapPlugin; <br />
 * 		TweenPlugin.activate([CacheAsBitmapPlugin]); //activation is permanent in the SWF, so this line only needs to be run once.<br /><br />
 * 
 * 		TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {x:100, cacheAsBitmap:true}); <br /><br />
 * </code>
