TweenMax and ContextMenus

[prometh]

For some reason, on more than one occasion, tweens using TweenMax do not seem to work when initiated from a ContextMenuItem listener. If I put it into a delayedCall(0.001), it works! Very strange.

 

I haven't tested TweenLite.

Would you mind posting a sample FLA? Are you testing on a Mac or a PC? I seem to remember that on the Mac the Flash Player completely halts all timing events and some other stuff while a context menu is open whereas on the PC it doesn't. I wonder if that's what you're running into.

My current FLA is really large and complicated. Yes, I'm running a Mac, and what you mentioned really does sound like the root of my problem. Perhaps you could submit this as a bug to Adobe; they'd probably listen to you faster than they'd listen to me.

Believe it or not, no, I don't think they'd show me any preferential treatment. And I believe a bug was filed a while back about that issue, but I'm not even 100% sure that's what you're running into because I haven't seen your file or an example. You don't need to post your production files - just the simplest possible example would be great. But if you'd rather just assume it is the bug in Flash that I mentioned and let it be, that's fine too.

I may create an example file when I get some more free time, but for now I think I'll leave it. I'd just figured that it might be TweenMax since that's the only thing I didn't write
