Stuart,
I have reached the same problem and here is my workaround:
not to set a new Alpha, just put the initial with a repeat of one and some
dummy parameters, the create the interpolator andd disable it. When I need to
move something, I just set the new parameters ( alpha inc, decr, interpolator
target, points and so on ) and the last two things are to set the alpha start
over 500 millis ( depends on the system that you're working on , but I have
found thru some tests that this value is satisfying enough ) and then enable
your interpolator.
Hope it helps.
