Animation File Not Resetting

Question

I have a swf file which has a simple animation on it. If I import that animation then apply an effect like a tween, the effect on the animation works great the first time. If I go to the next slide then click back, the effect on the animation does not start at the same place. Has anyone else come across this? Seems like a bug in captivate to me.
