Re: [Flashcoders] Jagged tweening images
Maybe you scaled the image non-proportional, but you say it happened even with vectors. how does your image look like. are there fine linies at the edges? then you should prepare your image in a way that there is 1 or 2 pixel space to the edges of the borders. you should also ensure that your image (MovieClip) ends on exact pixel values (300 instead of 300.4) does it help?

Re: [Flashcoders] Jagged tweening images
Thanks for the quick reply, but I should have mentioned that I ensured the scaling was 100% and all images were at pixel perfect positions. Also, the picture shear is extreme. It is clearly like a really bad refresh rate Maybe you scaled the image non-proportional, but you say it happened even with vectors. how does your image look like. are there fine linies at the edges? then you should prepare your image in a way that there is 1 or 2 pixel space to the edges of the borders. you should also ensure that your image (MovieClip) ends on exact pixel values (300 instead of 300.4) does it help?

Re: [Flashcoders] Jagged tweening images
Hi Sean, If the image is internal to your library you can try setting the smoothing option on the image itself. Right click image in library and check Allow Smoothing. This might help.

Re: [Flashcoders] Jagged tweening images
Hi Dunc, sorry mate, I keep forgetting ALL the things I've tried in the last 24 hours, lol. I also tried that :) But basically, it seems no-one has seen this behavior out side of bad settings, I certainly haven't seen it on any other graphic tweening site examples.

Re: [Flashcoders] Jagged tweening images
Can you show an example? Because it sounds to me like fairly ordinary page tearing - an effect that happens when the write-to-screen isn't synched up to the refresh rate of the monitor, which is often an issue when moving large chunks of the screen around. AFAIK Flash isn't synched to the monitor in any way, so all you can do is minimise it by choosing.the contrast between your colours carefully and only moving around small chunks of screen. Have you got a vast difference in foreground/background colours which is making it more obvious in your case?
