Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'd appreciate it! :)

Hi folks, just ran through the earth tutorial by flash magazine and started to play around with it a bit more to add my own twist with it. Have a look here. http://www.bart4president.com/research/earth/ The biggest difference is that I obviously changed the starmap in the background (we'll get to that) and I changed the sun into a MovieClipSprite in an effort to not only make it look better, but also save on performance. So here's the probs I am having: MovieClipSprite is nice and dandy: var sunF:MovieClip = new sunFlare(); // linked movieclip var sun:MovieClipSprite = new MovieClipSprite(sunF,{x:150, y:100, z: 800, rescale:true}); view.scene.addChild(sun); However when the scene first loads, the sprite is not exactly where it needs to be, it only moves into the correct spot when I start to move it around. Also, when I turn completely around to the earth, the sprite shows up nearby the earth on certain angles (quite annoying) Any ideas why this is? Any ways to fix it? Also, are there any good tutorials on how to make a panoramic and seamless texture to use for the heavens? I tried making my own but getting it to blend together nicely is tricky. Thanks!
