RE: FLASH: Bitmaps Jump

[Conlon, Matthew]

Do you see the jumping still when you've exported the swf and run that,

rather than previewing/test movie? You'll still see the jumpiness in some

cases doing a test movie or while scrubbing the playhead, but it should go

away when really playing the swf.


Oh, now that I think a little more, it seems possibly related to your

graphics card. I could take the same jumpiness and run it on other PCs, and

if they had the same card as mine, it jumped - if they didn't, it didn't. 


Oh well.

Thanks. That helps a bunch. It still doesn't solve it entirely--they still

jump around just not as much--but I think it's finally in the acceptable

range. Whew! I'm glad the next project is vector from the ground up. I feel

kind of ground up myself. Thanks again.


Best regards,


Pete
