TweenLite ignoring specific properties

Question

My name is Anubhav! I was developing a Arkanoid style game in AS3. And I am having some problems with the following TweenLite code :

TweenLite.to(costume, 1, {
    alpha: 0,
    y: posY,
    scaleX: 0,
    scaleY: 0,
    rotation: 30,
    onComplete: function() {
        dispatchEvent(new BrickEvent(BrickEvent.HIT_BALL));
    },
    overwrite: OverwriteManager.CONCURRENT
});

The above code is fired when a ball hits a brick (to animate the brick costume). The problem is that Tweenlite is just changing the alpha, scaleX and scaleY properties while y and rotation properties remain untouched. I tried using TweenMax and changing the overwrite options to NONE, ALLONSTART, ALLIMMEDIATE etc. but none of them is working. I have no idea why this is happening. Please help me out! :)

It might have to do with the action occuring before the ball hit the wall. Make sure you remove all tweens and other actions that affects the ball. If you are moving the ball with a tween them the overwrite:true should take care of it. You could also use tweenLite.removeAllTweens(ball). Not sure if that is the correct method name though.
