Using the _lockroot property I was able to eliminate the error and get the tweens to work.
I still have the weird loading with assets. If I only have 1 instance of a movie it will load the external XML files but all movieLoader calls will fail to bring in other SWF or jpeg files. However, if I create 2 or more instances of the SWF then all instances except the last one are able to load their own external jpeg and SWF files. I have no problem with an older AS 2.0 SWF running in its own "VM container" that can not directly communicate with the AS 3.0 SWF. I assume you could use localConnection() to send data back and forth. I am excited about the prototypes you are describing. Do you have any thoughts on asset problem I am having now... or is it just a bug at the moment. Thanks!
