I was having this problem a while back, I never really solved it, just
ended up working around it. I think, taking a wild stab at what's going
on, is that a tween is one of those things stored in RAM along with a
million other things. In my case my flash movies were 70-120MB. So I
think when memory started getting tight my tweens would disappear.
Actually going in and doing something to the offending clips would make
Flash recalculate and put it in RAM again, fixing them.
Thats my theory. I wrote to Adobe who was really no help telling me to
make my Flash movies smaller. You'd also be amazed at what cleaning up
your timeline will do in this situation if it's disorganized. I also
found that a save and compact will generally do the same thing as
delving into the offending timeline....but will do it for your whole
project at once.
If your project is particularly large, a save and compact won't work
100% of the time, but often helps. I think we've also found that
throwing more RAM into your computer will help.
And the last real kicker is, Flash MX 2004 does NOT have this problem.
So if you can work in 2004, do so, and you'll be trouble free in regards
to this problem.

I have a strange problem (Flash 8) where the designer created motion
tweens
on the timeline, which causes clips to fade in / out. She used the
properties dropdown box to set alpha, then created a motion tween between
two keyframes to accomplish her fades.
This site is built dynamically, through attaching clips from library.
Sometimes the tweens magically disappear, and you just see the clips
visibly
pop in and out, rather than fading smoothly. NOW, this is the kicker -
when
the tweens disappear, my fix is to delve down into the offending
timeline,
check that it's all there, then compile. POOF - the tween is magically
working again!
So - I can get the tweens back, but it's rather annoying to do this
all the
time. Also, I hate leaving random Flash bugs floating around, so any
insights appreciated. Have a feeling this will be just one more phantom
Flash problem floating in a project. For some reason, I must have at
least
one per project!
Thanks,
