Hi,
I am debugging a strange problem with nested Sprites that are linked
to classes.
In my classes for my parent and child Sprites, I have ADDED_TO_STAGE
handlers which setup the controls. The child Sprites are placed at
Author-time in the IDE.
For my SWF, my load order is set

if you're doing shape tweens you need to start playing with shape hints.
These give you a point which you snap to a point at the start of the tween
and then there's a matching one where you'd like that point to finish at the
end of the tween.
I warn you now - you should do a step and if you like

Quasimondo demonstrated how to do marching ants in his FOTB 2008
presentation. It was part of the work he was doing on the Aviary
tools. I think essentially he calculated a mask which looked like a
selection area 1px thick and used that over the top of animated stripes..
