setProperty not working in movie

[romio3k]

hi friends

I have created a movie symbol with instance name "a"(blue color in link) in that movie symbol there is one more movie symbol with instance name "c"(sky blue color in link)

movie symbol is on main time line (instance name "a")

http://www.geocities.com/romio3k/property.swf
http://www.geocities.com/romio3k/property.zip

ive given action on button (pink)

____________

on (release) {
setProperty ("_root.a.c", _width, "45");
}
_____________

after pressing the button the movie "c" get the property but it stops moving

I think it should be moving with the new property with given width ..

so what should i do to keep it moving?

If that code is what you have used, take the "" from around the number 45 you have used.

Get 'page unavailable' when linking to that ZIP.

[romio3k]

to get that zip

do one thing

first u put this address

http://www.geocities.com/romio3k/test3.swf

after loading this page ... rename the last file name with property.swf or property.zip then --- enter

well ... this is totally illogical but i always do that and get page

[Sualdam]

OK. But you have tried that "" suggestion for yourself, haven't you?

[romio3k]

no not yet .... let me do .. will be back soon

[Sualdam]

It isn't that - now I see the FLA, I see what you mean.

I'm looking at it now.

k ive tried by remove "" from 45 but still problem as it is

Rom,

This was driving me nuts (I nearly posted back admitting defeat )

I can't find a reference anywhere to the problem, but I think it must be a 'feature'.

However, I found a workaround.

Instead of having your square (c) being tweened in the main clip (a), put the square inside another clip (x) and animate that clip.

Then, use:

setProperty("_root.a.x.c", _width, 45);

What you are doing then is setting the property of the square, not the tween.

It works. I tested it.
