What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Create a sprite ("container") and add it to the display list.
2.Create a sprite ("sp1") and add it to the container.
3.Create a bitmap and add it to "sp1".
4.Tween out "container".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
"container and its children will all fade out. Instead, onle one level deep 
seems to fade, anything nested further down does not fade out.

Please provide any additional information below.

THe sprite containing the bitmap does have a mouse listener but I do not think 
this is the issue.
