FLASH: Shape Tweening Woes

[unique]

I'm tweening between a small circle and a "block" outlined M ... both with

black lines and a white fill. I don't like the way Flash tweens without hints

-- the circle seems to turn inside out in the process of tweening.


So I set three hints, A, B, and C. See below. (Hope you're viewing this with a

monospaced font!)

(The circle starts at the bottom of the movie; the M is directly above it,

about half-way up.)


SURPRISE! With these hints in place, the tweening effect is *destroyed* ...

instead, between the two keyframes, I get little dots and short line segments,

and no fill (white), between the keyframes -- though they *do* move from the

circle's position to the M. Yuck!


Does anyone have a clue? Seen this effect?


I could put these as swf's on my personal Web site, if it would help, or

provide fla files (how?).


Thanks,
