Hello All,

I have several buttons on stage that, when pressed, moves and scales a MovieClip a predetermined amount. I used to do this "procedurally" in AS2 using Zeno's Paradox; however, it looks as though the Tween class in AS3 should accomplish what I need pretty easily. (I am a little confused about the logical/situational differences between using the Tween class and the TransitionManager class, but the Tween class just seemed more straight forward)

Anyway, once the MovieClip has finished moving and reached the destination X/Y and Scale values, I would like to be able tell that MovieClip to do something. By adding a listener for the TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, I can accomplish this; however, the problem arises if the user clicks on a button, and then clicks a different button BEFORE the MovieClip finishes moving. i.e. If the MovieClip is moving from Point A to Point B, and the user clicks Button C, then the MovieClip starts moving toward Point C from the MovieClip's current position... which is a desireable effect.

However; BEFORE the MovieClip even reaches Point C, it appears as though a TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH event is dispatched (presumeably from the A to B Tween). And, ANOTHER TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH is dispatched once the MovieClip finally reaches Point C. So it seems as if the first Tween is still "running in the background" even though it's not having an effect on the MovieClip's x/y or scale values.

Is there a way to "overwrite" the "old" Tween with the "new" Tween?

I need to have only 1 finish event dispatched, even if the user is constantly clicking buttons before the MovieClip has finished moving.
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

myButton1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fOnClick);
myButton2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fOnClick);

var myTweenX:Tween;
var myTweenY:Tween;
var myTweenScaleX:Tween;
var myTweenScaleY:Tween;

function fOnClick(evtClick:MouseEvent):void{
	
	switch(evtClick.target.name){
		case "myButton1_btn":
			myTweenX = new Tween(myClip_mc, "x", Regular.easeInOut, myClip_mc.x, 200, 1, true);
			myTweenY = new Tween(myClip_mc, "y", Regular.easeInOut, myClip_mc.y, 200, 1, true);
			myTweenScaleX = new Tween(myClip_mc, "scaleX", Regular.easeInOut, myClip_mc.scaleX, 0.5, 1, true);
			myTweenScaleY = new Tween(myClip_mc, "scaleY", Regular.easeInOut, myClip_mc.scaleY, 0.5, 1, true);
			break;
		case "myButton2_btn":
			myTweenX = new Tween(myClip_mc, "x", Regular.easeInOut, myClip_mc.x, 500, 3, true);
			myTweenX = new Tween(myClip_mc, "y", Regular.easeInOut, myClip_mc.y, 500, 3, true);
			myTweenScaleX = new Tween(myClip_mc, "scaleX", Regular.easeInOut, myClip_mc.scaleX, 2.0, 3, true);
			myTweenScaleY = new Tween(myClip_mc, "scaleY", Regular.easeInOut, myClip_mc.scaleY, 2.0, 3, true);
			break;
		default:
			break;
	}
	
	myTweenX.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, fOnFinish);
}


function fOnFinish(evtTweenFinish:TweenEvent):void{
	trace("Tween Finished!");
}
If I click on Button1 and then quickly on Button2, "Tween Finished!" is output twice.
