I got 2 layers on the timeline, the first layer is filled with roads\* (just a white shape with black stroke)\*, and the other layer is just a rectangle acting like a background.

After I convert these 2 layers to a MovieClip, the filling in one place just disappears!

Any tips how to avoid this, would be very appreciated!
