function()
Performs an animation on the control.
The target object is for the position, size and rotation that the control has at the end of the animation.

The type specifies the behavior and the speed of the animation. Separated by a dot, you must also specify whether you want to apply this behavior to the beginning (In), end (Out), or to both (InOut) times of the animation.

With the amount of repeats you can control how many times you want to play the animation.

If you have jojo activated, the animation will alternate between forward and backward playback, so that if the repetition value is odd, the control will be at the start position again at the end of the animation.

Finally the callback function will be called after the animation has finished. Well, it's about time!
