In my opinion this effect is due to the frequency difference of the animation and the graphics adaptor.
Director or Flash could be running let's say at 13 fps, whereas the graphics adaptor would run at 60 fps for example. The graphics adaptor is drawing a new frame line by line. If director changes the screen content while the graphics adapter is drawing a nem frame, the content is changing somewhere in between. What you then see is an image whose upper part is from an earlier Director frame than its lower part and this gives you the stair-stepped effect. I have experienced that a lot, tested a lot and come to no solution. There are some dedicated 3D animation software packages out there with graphic adaptors that are in perfect sync with the software, so they do not have this problem As fas as I know, there is no way of synchronizing Director or Flash to the graphics card.

Director and Flash are both doing extremely strange things when animating the scaling of an image at all for a zoom effect. Panning is a little better, but getting smooth motion seems impossible. I'm getting stair-stepped motion instead of a steady transition. My tests were done with score/timeline animations. I'm hoping Lingo or Actionscript has a better results. I was expecting to get something closer to video. Is this a pipe dream? Are there any ways around this? thanks, Court [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
