Hiya, thanks for checking this. I am using a function that targets a movie clip and then performs a yoyo() tween on it. I then want to call this function and stop the same tween (passing a false value) but I can’t figure out why this is not working.  
If anyone has any ideas it would be a big help.  
Thanks! 🙂  
[AS]  
function highlightCard(target:MovieClip, highlightIt:Boolean) {  
trace(“highlight card:”+highlightIt+":"+target);  
var pulseSpeed:Number = 0.4;   
var origY:Number = target.\_y;  
if (highlightIt) {   
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(target, “\_xscale”, None.easeNone, 100, growSize, pulseSpeed, true);  
myTween.onMotionFinished = function() {  
this.yoyo();  
};  
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(target, “\_yscale”, None.easeNone, 100, growSize, pulseSpeed, true);  
myTween2.onMotionFinished = function() {  
this.yoyo();  
};  
} else {  
trace(“SHOULD STOP TWEEN”);   
target.myTween.stop()  
target.myTween2.stop()  
target.\_xscale = 100;  
target.\_yscale = 100;

```
}

```
