flash (macromedia): Hi there, been using flash for a while now but im having big problems in
sorting this MAJOR problem out:
It goes as follows.
The movie found at:
[url=http://www.ronguy.co.uk/fla/help.sfw]http://www.ronguy.co.uk/fla/help.sfw[/
url]
is a preview of the problem
Basically i need to fade 1 gradient in over the top of another to give the
appearance of the screen getting darker, however when i do so it produces these
awful grainy lines across the page where the colours are changing.
How it is done is a simple fade in with the new gradient on an above level
using alpha tween.
I have tried a number of things to rectify this problem, these are as follows:
Use jpeg images of the gradient instead of the flash vector shapes,
Tryed to fade the lighter layers out instead of fading darker in.
Tryed using the blur filter on the whole clip.

Need to know if there is any way to make this a really smooth transition,
action scripts maybe? or different blending options, i dont know. Somebody help
please.

Thanks guys.

SImple answer - display the movie much smaller. Open Dreamweaver (or whichever
html ditor you prefer) make a one cell table and put the movie in it. Adjust
the size downwards until the banding stops.
One comment - the fade of one grad over the other is fairly slow (on my
browser). Is you movie set to run at 31 fps to make it the same on all
platforms and browsers ?
Best wishes

cheers for your reply tony mate,
Unfortunatly the movie has to be full screen, so making it smaller is not
really an option.
Also the frame rate is low yep, but if speeded up it only makes the lines move
faster lol.
Thanks for your help mate.
