[Tweener] Tweener failing on second run as AS2 inside Flex

[Zeh Fernando]

AS3 loading AS2 content, right?

I've seen mentions this happening from time to time, although I haven't had
to deal with that myself. Apparently it's something about _global or _root
elements of AS2 movies (the classes themselves) getting mangled once you
load other movies that use the same element (Tweener classes in AS2).

If you have control over the AS2 movie, I'd suggest using _lockroot as true
inside of it. This will make sure that Tweener creates a 'local'
onEnterFrame handler at least.
