Re: FLASH: Bitmap graphics distorting in 2 frame movie

[Michael Dunn]

I have a similar problem with only one spcific background being distorted by an

animation. All the other backgrounds look fine. I'm still working on this.


As for levels, it refers to layers in which movies are loaded (not layers within

the movie itself. If you have one swf movie and use a load movie command you can

place that movie in level 0 (which will wipe out the original swf) or into level

1 (which will display the new movie on top of the original movie).
