hi people. i’ve got an SWF that’s loading an external JPG into a draggable container. on the same stage are several simple animations (tweening from alpha = 0 to alpha = 100 gradually). when i load the JPG into the container and then drag the container over an animation, it does this weird thing that looks like the JPG is being resized slightly. i don’t have time to throw together a demo file right now but just wanted to see if anyone had ever noticed this - if so, any suggestions on a workaround? it looks really odd. there’s already a blank rectangle inside the draggable container and behind the JPG - sort of a layer between the JPG and the animation - but it doesn’t stop the quirky movement…
