Whether it "makes sense" or not, Helmut is right and this is how it
works. Changing the value of a property dynamically via code /detaches/
it from any tweening applied by the timeline. The ideal solution is have
a container inside of it. Or, really, don't use the timeline tweening at
all.

This is the proper behavior since you are overriding the properties of the
object itself. Such as if you were overriding the x, y, scale properties.
You can wrap the object into a container and edit the properties of the
container that then will be reflected into its child, in this case the
"box".

Re: [Flashcoders] Modifying movieclip property kills tween
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.

Re: [Flashcoders] Modifying movieclip property kills tween
Hmm, this doesn't make sense. The property of an object should be allowed to
change since it's not changed during an actual tween. Also, the property
involved is not what's being tweened, so why would it nullify a tween done on
it at a different time?

[Flashcoders] Modifying movieclip property kills tween
Hi all, I ran into something strange whereby if I modify a movieclip's property
(say alpha), it would kill the tween that will take place later that involves
the movieclip. Wonder if anyone has run into this?
1) In a test FLA, create a movieclip called "test". Inside "test", create two
frames, "start" on frame 2 and "end" on whatever (say frame 30).
2) Put a movieclip called "box" on timeline and tween it from "start" to "end".
3) In the main timeline, add this:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, click);
function click(event:MouseEvent):void
{
test.box.alpha = 1; // <-- changing alpha value causes the tween to stop
working, comment this out and tween works
test.gotoAndPlay("start"); // tween test.box by moving it across the stage
}
