[color=black][font=Arial]Hi everyone. I have a problem with motion tweens. I’m making a cartoon where I have to animate my characters’ mouths. I usually motion tween some of the different mouths to show that they’re opening, like so – [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial] [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]Mouth1 - Tween - Mouth1 Opened - Mouth2[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial] [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]However, now, whenever I insert a symbol into the frame after motion tweening, it transforms into the previous symbol, like so – [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial] [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]Mouth1 - Tween - Mouth1 Opened – Mouth1[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial] [/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]No matter what I do, it keeps pasting the previous symbol in the new frame. I’m sort of stumped, so any help is appreciated.[/font][/color]
