Why don’t you post the FLA instead so we can have a better look? =)

that would probably mean xxviii would have to host the .fla right? there’s no other way of making it acessible to kirupaforum members?

Hi,  
Do you mean the orange horizontal lines that stay after your animation has played ?  
Bizarre - I can’ t see where they are coming from, they are not on your timeline at all. So, sorry to say I have no idea, if you make the whole thing again, try making your graphic symbols movies clips instead - don’t know if that will fix the problem, but worth a try.  
btw - I think those lines look part of the animation and give it a bit of depth.

Cheers

SteveD

If you really don’t like them then you should remake them. But in my opinion, i think they look pretty nice, they don’t really ruin it at all 🙂

thanks for looking for problems and thanks for the advice as well. i understand how you think they should stay (ill prob keep them now 🙂 ) but i’ll fix them up a bit…actually make them animate rather than depend on them to mysteriously appear from nowhere!!

anyway…problem solved

:beam:

you could paste over them with blocks the same color as the background, nobody would ever know :bad:

haha very true!! only you and the rest of everyone who has viewed this thread would know though …maybe that should be included in a list titled “Design Secrets the Pros never reveal!!” i’m sure many of you so called “pros” do what ragewolf mentioned…haha :trout:
