My current project includes a seemingly simple animated sequence involving three .jpg files, converted to graphic symbols, each residing on individual layers of the timeline. Each occupies the entire stage of 600 x 300.
The animation on each of these layers consists of the image fading from 0 to 100%, and the scaling from about 50% to 100%, over the span of 30 frames. My goal is to effect a 3-image crossfade, so the transitions are staggered between each (that is, the first level fade begins at frame 1, the second at frame 15, and the third at frame 30).
My problem is, when I initially run the sequence, the animation briefly halts at each frame within which a keyframe exists on any of the three layers. (BTW…I have tried this with the new motion tween and the classic tween, so it occurs when hitting a property keyframe or a standard keyframe.)
If I rerun the sequence without reloading, it displays perfectly. It is just that first run that displays the stuttering display.
Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance!
