What you should do is have a hidden data field that is linked to data and set to live update.
Then on that item have an onset text script like this;
dim sd as xpSceneDirector
scene.GetSceneDirectorByName("Player Update", sd)
sd.PlayRange(0, sd.Duration)
sd.AutoStop = true
On the scene director you'll want your animation keyframes plus a script something like this at the frame you want the data to update, i.e mid animation;
Dim dataText, dispText as xpTextObject
Scene.GetObjectByName("DATA_PlayerName", dataText)
Scene.GetObjectByName("DISP_PlayerName", dispText)
dispText.Text = dataText.Text

I have text that is set to not live update and then a transition that goes over the top while the transition has covering the text I'd like to update the text.

When you say update, what do you want to change?
I'm going to guess you mean, have a value, play an animation and then a new value is there?
