Wow! Sorry to hear my advice made things worse.....but having a save
and compact break things doesn't bode well for ya.
I forgot to mention one other thing you can do....and thats hilite each
tween and do a convert to keyframes. You can easily go back to the
motion tween by just clearing all those keyframes between your endpoints.
Having it all as keyframes made things always work for me.
But.......you know that's my advice.....it seems with my track record
with you this morning....it'll either help, or set your computer on fire.

Hmm, my movies aren't very big. Only about 350kb, total. Also, one is
being
loaded into the other, but they both have same problem.
What is that 'Save and Compact' command? Doing so actually caused all of
those tweens to break in mine, so now I'll have to go through and open up
each and re-compile!
Thanks for trying, though.

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.
