FLASH: egg cracking animation - symbols disappear at end

[d.l.cheseldine]

I'm having a hard time understanding this:


I'm trying to create an animation of an egg cracking open.  A crack made up

of short lines gradually spreads across the egg.  Each addition to the

crack is a symbol on a separate layer.  This works OK.  Finally, I want the

two sides of the egg to fall apart, so I've traced 2 outlines of the 2

halves of the egg.  So at this point I want all the short lines I drew

earlier for the cracks to disappear.  But when I create a keyframe in a new

layer and select and cut all the short crack lines, all the short lines are

removed further back along the timeline leaving a series of empty

keyframes.


This has got to be a simple mistake I am making.


Thanks for any advice
