[Flashcoders] strange effects when tweening alpha

[Andrew Sinning]

Our artist made an animated character by over-lapping different body 
parts.  Strange thing, when I fade out the character using an 
alpha-tween of the outer-most clip, I can see the overlapping parts at 
the joints.  It's like the alpha is affecting the individual parts 
within the movieClip rather than being applied to the composite 
movieClip.  This is in AS2, and I just use the mx.transitions Tween 
class.  I guess to cacheAsBitmap before doing the tween, but shouldn't 
alpha be applied to a composited clip by definition?  I can't think of 
any reason why you would ever want an alpha effect to apply to the 
individual parts within a movie clip.  I mean, if I wanted that effect I 
would set the alphas of the individual parts, right?

Thanks.
