   I have an object moving with a MoveBy action and during that movement I want to adjust it's y position, but keep the action running. I've tried adjusting the .position and I've tried using a new MoveBy with duration 0. In both attempts you see a single frame of the object y position adjusted to where I want it and the next frame the original move action overrides the new y position back to where it was. The only idea I have, I hope there is a better way and that is to stop the original action, adjust position, and then create a new action to complete what the first action was doing.

   I don't think you can run 2 actions that effect the same node properties at the same time. You might be better creating a step method and moving the sprite manually as you want yourself. Or possibly extent the MoveBy action to allow alterations (if thats possible).

   Im not sure if this would help you, but maybe you could:

   create a node "Container". Then create your Sprite "Character" and add it to "Container" at position (0,0). Now run your action on "Character" to move it around. And you can run a 2nd action on "Container" to move it vertically.

   The action movements are added together, the 2nd action doesnt replace the 1st, so it may not be what you need.

   I've been wondering for some time whether adding a new RepeatForever action to change a Sprite's animation will eliminiate any previous RepeatForever animation actions, or whether I have to keep a reference to my animation action and stop it manually before starting a new one? I've been using the latter method so far but would love it if I didn't have to.

   I had the same problem and I have patched the JumpTo action to not touch the X position of the sprite, since I handle this on my own. Works quite well :)
