Re: FLASH: Alpha Change Motion Tween

[Helen Triolo]

Stewart,


Is it a bitmap graphic?  If so, this post from the Q/A archive

(http://i-technica.com/flashlist) might be relevant: 

---

alpha tweening bitmaps shift position on stage

We don't know exactly why this happens, but it's usually solved by

editing the symbol in which the bitmap appears. Select the image, and

choose Modify > Break Apart. This seems to fix this "jump".

Other solutions I remember hearing are to set the alpha to some small

number instead of 0 at the end of the fade, or 99 instead of 100 at the

beginning.  You could check the "bugs" or "graphics" categories in the

archive for more info if you don't get another solution that works.

 

Regards,

Helen
