Tweening issue and on labels - actionscript-3

Question

I'm Actually a student in Multimedia Design, and we are having a project to render within 3 weeks called interactive animation.
Well I'M trying to have different effect.
Glowing with easing
Scaling with easing
using alpha
I only use the Adobe manual, and some answer that as been posted here.
This is my code
stop();

The problem is that when i click on another bullet (button) when it goes to LABEL Item1. It doesn't play the scale easing that is located into the LABEL AS3
And also when i click on another bullet (button) it's doesn't glow off

Answer 1

I've got the distinct impression you're placing code into various frames on your MainTimeline. This is a headache to be avoided.
As has been recommended before, you don't need multple copies of the same function that perform similar tasks. Rather, you can simplify your code by using variables that reference each object during a loop (thus performing the similar tasks in the loop).
Depending on where in your DisplayList hierarchy your background_items exists, you'll want to change the dot.notation pathing relative to the MainTimeline frame where your code is running. You'll likely want to reset the scaling of background_items every time you reload the animation, otherwise it'd appear not to be doing its transform.
Additionally, I encourage you to collapse "run-once" fragments into a single function. Especially when you begin resetting your stage, having them in one place will be invaluable.
Give this a try...
