I suppose this has been discussed a few times already, but if not:
When you use the Tween class, an Instance of the Class
mx.transitions.OnEnterFrameBeacon is
created if not already existing.
In that Class the following line is executed:
var mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip ("__OnEnterFrameBeacon", 9876);
which means that if you have anything at that depth (9876) already, it
will disappear.
You can confirm this by a simple test like pasting the following code
in the first frame of your movie:
(change the depth to 9875 or 9877 and see the difference..)
---------------------------------------------------
import mx.transitions.Tween;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("square_mc", 9876);
square_mc.beginFill(0xFF0000);
square_mc.moveTo(10, 10);
square_mc.lineTo(100, 10);
square_mc.lineTo(100, 100);
square_mc.lineTo(10, 100);
square_mc.lineTo(10, 10);
square_mc.endFill();
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(square_mc, "_x",
mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut, 0, 300, 3, true);
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So if you are in a large dynamic project swapping depths a lot and using
Tweens, and been experiencing strange problems,
this may be worth to know...
All cred to Robert Penner (obviously the genius behind the Tween Class),
but I think this detail could have been improved on before shipping with
Flash 8.
Sorry if this has been discussed already...
