[Tween Overwrite Not Working... Ever]

Hi,

 

I am sure this shows up a lot in the forums. I am a complete new guy to FLash, and I love TweenLite! But I am having trouble with the Overwrite manager. I am losing a lot of hair over the matter too.

 

here is the issue: I have a frame (frame_mc) that loads images dynamically from a file into flash. I have placed an awesomely easy to implement TweenLite alpha tween that fades each image in as they appear (all through one frame (frame_mc). Problem is if I click too rapidly, the tweens stack and overwrite, and soon enough I am looking at no images as I click the buttons....

 

Here is my code. I left out all the unnecessary code, as the script itself works fine, it is just the Overwrite manager code that I am having issues with. (don't laugh too hard):

 

import com.greensock.OverwriteManager;

import com.greensock.TweenLite;

 

function thumb1click(event:MouseEvent):void {

big_pic.load(img1Req);

frame_mc.removeChildAt(1);

frame_mc.addChild(big_pic);

TweenLite.from(frame_mc,1,{alpha:0});

}

 

function thumb2click(event:MouseEvent):void {

big_pic.load(img2Req);

frame_mc.removeChildAt(1);

frame_mc.addChild(big_pic);

TweenLite.from(frame_mc,1,{alpha:0});

}

 

function thumb3click(event:MouseEvent):void {

big_pic.load(img3Req);

frame_mc.removeChildAt(1);

frame_mc.addChild(big_pic);

TweenLite.from(frame_mc,1,{alpha:0});

}

 

function thumb4click(event:MouseEvent):void {

big_pic.load(img4Req);

frame_mc.removeChildAt(1);

frame_mc.addChild(big_pic);

TweenLite.from(frame_mc,1,{alpha:0});

}

 

function thumb5click(event:MouseEvent):void {

big_pic.load(img5Req);

frame_mc.removeChildAt(1);

frame_mc.addChild(big_pic);

TweenLite.from(frame_mc,1,{alpha:0});

}

 

function thumb6click(event:MouseEvent):void {

big_pic.load(img6Req);

frame_mc.removeChildAt(1);

frame_mc.addChild(big_pic);

TweenLite.from(frame_mc,1,{alpha:0});

}

 

function thumb7click(event:MouseEvent):void {

big_pic.load(img7Req);

frame_mc.removeChildAt(1);

frame_mc.addChild(big_pic);

TweenLite.from(frame_mc,1,{alpha:0});

}

 

No matter where I place: OverwriteManager.init(OverwriteManager.AUTO); it never seems to work. I have spent hours trying different combination's (and the other options suggested). I am obviously overlooking something. Please help!
