[Tweener] Applying filter after Tween results in movie shifting...

[Mike Lohrman]

Thanks Zeh, I think my problem has something to do with tweening a movie within a movie with the filter applied to the child.  When I applied the filter to the container, it worked fine, and will work for what I need.

Whats the reasoning for not using height and using scale instead?

Thanks!

No clue, other than the fact that filters seem to behave differently 
depending on the scale of the parent container. I've had a number of 
problems like that in the past and my solution has been to have the 
filter always applied, only changing its radius or alpha.

The other thing I'd advise you is to tween the scale of a movieclip, and 
never the height (unless it's a class in which the "heigh" property has 
some special function). But it's unrelated to the problem.
