Minimize location (stupid tween)

Ok i am having a little issue.

I am making items that minimize onto the side of the screen as little icons, I have that figured out. What i am trying to accomplish is making them minimize to a dynamic spot if there is not already one there. There a bunch of posistions that they could minimize to, i would like them to choose the next highest avaliable spot. Heres some code that will make them do that:

Warning this might make your brain explode.

var minspots:Array = [60, 100, 140, 180, 220, 260];
var minspotstaken:Array = [false, false, false, false, false, false];
_global.sizedown = function(target:MovieClip) {
   var spoty:Number = 0;
   var i:Number = 0;
   while (i<minspotstaken.length) {
      if (minspotstaken* == false) {
         spoty = minspots*;
         minspotstaken* = true;
         i = minspottaken.length;
      }
      i++;
   }
   target._xscale = target._yscale=10;
   target._x = 10;
   target._y = spoty;
   target.onRelease = function() {
      var i:Number = 0;
      while (i<minspots.length) {
         if (minspots* == spoty) {
            minspotstaken* = false;
            i = minspots.length;
         }
         i++;
      }
      sizeup(target);
   };
}

This works great, they act nice, they go to where they should, really hawt.

However, when i get a tween into the action, It no longer works:

var minspots:Array = [60, 100, 140, 180, 220, 260];
var minspotstaken:Array = [false, false, false, false, false, false];
_global.sizedown = function(target:MovieClip) {
   var spoty:Number = 0;
   var i:Number = 0;
   while (i<minspotstaken.length) {
      if (minspotstaken* == false) {
         spoty = minspots*;
         minspotstaken* = true;
         i = minspottaken.length;
      }
      i++;
   }
   
   trace (spoty)//       <- this traces like a million dollars
 
   new mx.transitions.Tween(target, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, target.prex, 10, .5, true); 
   new mx.transitions.Tween(target, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, target.prey, spoty, .5, true);
   new mx.transitions.Tween(target, "_xscale", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 100, 10, .5, true);
   new mx.transitions.Tween(target, "_yscale", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 100, 10, .5, true);
   target.onRelease = function() {
      var i:Number = 0;
      while (i<minspots.length) {
         if (minspots* == spoty) {
            minspotstaken* = false;
            i = minspots.length;
         }
         i++;
      }
      sizeup(target);
   };
}

It almost appears as if the tween action for the “_y” is holding its first value, as it always goes back to where it went when the movie loads.

Any ideas?:cantlook:
