You might want to make myThumb do the Tween again from other frames in

Colon was a typo, sorry.
Also, I think the /onComplete/ bit is a pasting problem...
It should say onComplete - no slashes:

Are you trying to see if the current frame of myThumb is 10, or the

If you are looking at the current frame of the Main clip, then
e.target.currentFrame should be changed to this.currentFrame.
If these don't have 10 or more frames, then your code won't work.

Hi,
Seemed that a restart of the IDE sorts it out - I think I have a

breaks my 9-slice stuff. Great, now have to weed that FLA and see if I
can rescue it...

It means you're trying to manipulate an object represented by a variable with a
null value.
For instance,
var mc:MovieClip;
mc.x = 9;
will generate that error as you've just defined that mc will be a movieclip and
its initial value is null.
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mc.x = 9;
