FLASH: it's madness I tell you, pure madness!

[Sarah Lamont]

Picture this:


A timeline with about 20 movie clips on it, each with a stop action in

the first frame. Each movie clip does this: a photo behind a mask is

exposed: 5 frames of mask growing to show whole photo, Stop action in

the middle where the photo is full, then 5 more frames for the shrinkage

of the mask. Okay, we're fine to this point. 


However, this is where it gets CRAZY. One of these movie clips, of it's

own accord, decides to loop endlessly with no telltarget play command or

anything. On the timeline, too, not just when published. It's the

weirdest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. (well...maybe not

weirdest, but still, pretty darn weird.)


anyhoo, I put the stuffed file at

http://www.2mtc.com/sarah/craziness.hqx


Maybe this is just a my computer thing, or if it isn't, if anyone could

look over the file and let me know if they see what I'm doing wrong? 

(and the animation is totally just being started, so it's really rough.)

If anyone can help me I would love it!


thanks,

§arah
