No, still a bug, surely, because it's supposed to map the full transformation over the desired number of cast members. > You'll notice that 91 > rotations totals about 3/4 worth,because: > > put (360/91) * 91 > -- 273 OK, what about skew or perspective? 360 doesn't seem quite so meaningful in those situations. > Did you try it with 120 bitmaps? Works fine. Gretchen MacDowell pointed this out to me too. Well, ok. Given that the docs on this feature are pretty thin, we can't expect too much. Still, it doesn't behave as I would have expected. If the docs mentioned rounding errors or 'trig-friendly' numbers, I might be more amenable to calling it something other than a bug. (Anyone remember the 'Noh Tale to Tell' example in 'Learning Director 4' used auto distort to make the cartwheels turn? Brr!).
