I made a very wide mc, and I went to watch it and I noticed that the images at the end of the mc were either blank or the were just appearing as lines.  
What is wrong here?

Did you transform the MC and then put your images inside of it?

Possibly, I am not sure. I modified a file that I had made a while ago to work with what I am doing now.

That sounds like the most likely cause. Try dragging a new instance of the MC out of the library and see what it looks like.

I had a problem like this a while ago. There was one MC that contained a few jpgs and the last one in line was always distorted. Making each jpg a separate MC then putting those into the main MC fixed the problem.

The images are at the end of my mc. I will try making them mc’s themselves. Thanks
