Re: FLASH: LOSE ANIMATION CAPABILITY AFTER SETTING PROPERTY OF SYMBOL

Hey,


I think I may have hit this problem as well. - or at least something similar.

I found that if  you have a movie clip that contains a motion tween with a named movie clip and wish

to use action script to change the properties it kills the motion tween.

eg: ball moves from point a to point b using a motion tween. At point A the ball is named 'balla'.

If you then try to change the properties of balla using a set property the ball will nolonger motion

tween.

I guess this is because of how flash handles references to instances to objects from the library in

tweening.

My solution was to move the ball programatically - ie: with x-position, y-position
