I have found that when you animate something, especially scroll something, often flash has little twitches about every second. I am currently working on an animation that scrolls a bunch of pictures across the screen. And it has a little twitch in it about every second like a piece of the picture is trying to catch up. It does this whether or not I use action script or just animate it.

I did notice that changing the framerate can change the twitching a bit. But I want it to go away. Please help me. This has been a problem for as long as I can remember.

Thanks
