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

[Cheri Harder]

(Sending answer to the list because I have a question for MM or others...)


Well, now.  This is very strange, indeed!  The reason I didn't get the bug

before is because I had the "animation" within the movie clip itself, and I

see you are moving the movie clip on the main timeline.  It seems that the

button action property change is definately re-setting that particular

action...even when I DO tell it to continue, it starts from frame 1 again,

instead of from where it left off.


Is there a place on MM site to report reproduceable "bugs?"  A motion tween

shouldn't be interrupted by changing the property of the object being

tweened, should it????????


It's not just "alpha" but also "rotation" and I imagine anything else.  It

seems to be more or less creating a new object, which is re-setting (and

stopping) the timeline.  The way I would get around it, I guess, is to move

the animation to within the movie clip itself, then you can change its alpha

and the movement continues...
