FLASH: Tweening problems

[Mattias Edelius]

Hello people,

I have a strange problem that I have never encountered before.


I have 5 layers in the main timeline. On one of these layers I have a

ordinary tween

the symbol is at one stage at frame 1 and at the end frame it is at another

stage. This tweens

fine in the editor.

I also have a MC that I set a random X and Y property in the beginning, and

in the second frame

I send new X and Y coordinates for it and then have a "regular" loop that

moves the MC to the place.

I get the X and Y of the MC and check the distance to the target X and Y I

then update the X and Y with

current + distance / 8 or some such.


This MC that is moved with actioscript, is several MC's in itself, it is

like a jar with fireflies in it. The fireflies

are also controlled with actionscript making them move around randomly

within the jar in the same way

as I moved the MC on the main timeline.


The other layers are some graphics and one are a invisible MC that contains

the actionscripting for the moving MC.


Anyhow, the tween works perfectly fine in the editor, but as soon as I test

the movie the tween does not work but the actionscript animating does.


I dont know if this has happened to someone else or if it is just me. I have

tried to make the tween in a fresh movie and it works. I have also tried the

not working movie on two different machines, none is working.


If you have any idea whatever could be wrong, dont hesitate to tell me. I am

going nuts over this.

If it is any help, I am using a P2 350, 128 mb, Win2k and Flash4, of course.


TIA,

Mattias
