I’ve tried to make a smooth but fast flash of light across an object in flash and it’s either too slow to too jumpy. Is there a way to compromise so it is both smooth and fast?  
Thanks in advance.

I deleted it actually, because it turned out so bad. I can make another one though, if you’d like…

[Here](http://home.iprimus.com.au/kilifi/blah.fla)’s one. I want it to be smoother than that, though…

Yeah, like a reflection of light. I just can’t figure out how to make it smooth and fast…

hhhmmmm…I have no real suggestions for you outside of messing around with it until you come up with something you like…sorry, never had to do anything like that…it’s gotta be a matter of trial and error…good luck with it though!
