[Tweener] Tweener's tweens won't play twice

[Zeh Fernando]

I haven't tested that sortof situation; however, it may be because Tweener
AS2 creates certain global variables (all AS2 classes become global
variables), *and* it creates a MovieClip on the _root to handle the main
onenterframe event. I know little about AS2/AS3 integration, but that sort
of stuff is probably bound to cause trouble to the separate AS2 sandbox
inside the AS3 VM.

All I can suggest is loading the new content on a second loader. If your
loading method looks anything like the example from the actionscript.org,
*normally* it wouldn't cause trouble (it's a separate, new object), but I
wouldn't discount that AS2 uses some less-than-ordinary hooks when accessing
the _root. If it doesn't, then just try loading/unloading into the same
Loader, just create a new instance.

Other idea is using _lockroot on your AS2 SWF and recompile it -- if that
forces the AS2 vm to use a separate 'root' sandbox for that specific SWF, it
would help.
