I’ve been going nuts trying to find out if there’s a solution to this. The website I’m working on is a full screen site - it starts out with a white background that is supposed to fade to dark grey. I have a white rectangle that I fade out over the dark grey background to achieve this effect, but the tween flickers a great deal (only in the browser, in the Flash preview it’s fine and smooth).

I’ve tried all kinds of different solutions - using a tint tween rather than an alpha tween, tweening with actionscript using a color transform function, breaking the tween into individual keyframes - there’s always flickering. Is this just a browser limitation when tweening between light and dark colors? Or is there something else I can do? Any help (even just to tell me that it’ll never look good) would be totally appreciated!
