Question

I have the following setup loaded:

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;
TweenPlugin.activate([FramePlugin]);
OverwriteManager.init(OverwriteManager.AUTO);

and am using the following code to tween an mc to frame 20.

    TweenLite.to(circle, 1, {frame:20, ease:Elastic.easeOut});

Problem is nothing happens, circle is a variable containing my mc and traces fine.

Output of

trace(circle); = _level0.circle

Can anyone see why this isn’t working? The MC contains a shapetween.

Edit:

Ok so I have tested it in a new fla with the same MC and it isn’t the MC that is the problem it has to do with some other part of my code preventing it.

Here is my entire code… can anyone see anything that would stop the tween to frame working? If I remove for (MovieClip in txts) {
txts[MovieClip]._alpha = 0;
} and put the tween above it it works, but as soon as it is inside a rollover again it doesn’t.

Heh Solved, for some reason it doesn’t like for (MovieClip in Array){} anywhere in your code, so if I substitute that for for (a in Array){} it seems to work. Odd.
