You are allowed to change the properties of an object but if you want to
change the properties of an object that is animated on the timeline you have
to have a wrapper so that the effects applied to the wrapper are being
passed down to its children.
Now you can change the properties during playtime using code.. try something
like this:
square.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrame);
function enterFrame ( e : Event ) {
square.x += 1;
}
square2.addEventListener ( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown );
function mouseDown ( e : MouseEvent ) {
square.y = 40;
square.alpha = 0.4;
}
you will notice that the "square" will continue to move accross the screen
and at the same time change its y property and alpha.
