AS3 embedded tween only partially showing

[deborahb44958436]

When I addChild a movie clip with 60 frames embedded tween. only the last few frames are playing when running the SWF. why?

function onClick10f2(e: MouseEvent) {  
addChild(gdropBall1) 
gdropBall1.x = 356.10; 
gdropBall1.y = 28; }

as soon as gdropBall1 is created it starts to play.  ie, it doesn't need to be in the display to start playing.

so, use:

function onClick10f2(e: MouseEvent) {  
gdropBall1.gotoAndPlay(1);
addChild(gdropBall1) 
gdropBall1.x = 356.10; 
gdropBall1.y = 28; }

Yup, that works. Thanks a bunch.
