I'm jumping back into this after a while away, but in my experience

actions do function at the frames inbetween the keyframes. I have a

test movie with a button tweening back and forth along a path, and the

button is completely active the whole way along the path, not just at

the two ends. GetURL actions work fine at any point during the tween.


I'd be happy to send the original .fla file over if you want to play

with it yourself (need your email address tho'. don't want to upload it

to the group...).
